Agricultural prices 1998/1999: support system for producers of arable crops (amend. regul. 1765/92/EEC)

Agricultural prices 1998/99 - Arable crops (support system for producers) COMMUNITY MEASURE: Council Regulation (EC) 1624/98 amending regulation (EEC) 1765/92 SUBSTANCE: the Council decided to set 15 September instead of 15 May as the deadline for notifying producers. The Member States are authorised to pay national aid of up to 50% of the costs associated with establishing multiannual crops intended for biomass production on set-aside land. When the fallow area is used for multi annual crops intended for biomass production, the Member States may authorise producers to set aside an area greater than that intended for arable crops for which a compensatory payment is requested. It was decided to extend by 12 months the period of 60 months during which producers which have set aside land may continue to do so. �
