ANNEX TO SECTION I OF PART IV 
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING ON OILSEEDS 
European Community (EC) legislation for producers o f rape and colza seeds, sunflower seeds and soybean s is set out in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92  
of 30 June 1992. The EC shall implement the following additional adj ustments to the benefits accruing to European produ cers under this program in respect of crop specific  
oilseeds payments. (a) The EC shall not engage in any market support e xpenditure in respect of rape and colza seeds, sunf lower seeds and soybeans except in accordance with the 
terms and conditions provided under the regulation specified in paragraph 1. 
(b) The EC shall exclude from the benefits of the r egime, the cultivation of "confectionery sunflowers eed" with effect from sowings for harvest in 1994.
The EC shall introduce a separate base area (SBA) f or producers benefitting from the crop specific oil seeds payments system which shall respect the follo wing 
principles: - progressive implementation to affect those crops planted for harvest in 1994 and subsequent years,
- in recognition of the Treaties of accession, full  implementation for Spain and Portugal will commenc e in 1995/96.
The SBA system shall have the following components:- an EC oilseed base area shall be established for which crop specific oilseeds payments are made (the  figures for EC-12 are set out in Annex I); 
- for a particular marketing year the applicable EC -12 oilseeds base area shall be reduced to reflect the annual set aside rate for arable crops fixed by  the 
Council. In no year, however, shall the reduction b e less than ten (10) percent of the base. 
HS2002 CHANGES - SCHEDULE CLXXIII - EUROPEAN UNION - PART IV - SECTION I Page 847 WT/Let/1220 6. 7. Should byproducts be made available as a result o f the cultivation of oilseeds on land set aside for  the manufacture within the Community of products n ot 
primarily intended for human or animal consumption exceed one million metric tons annually expressed i n soybean meal equivalents, the EC shall take 
appropriate corrective action within the framework of the CAP reform. In respect of any marketing year (without prejudice  to the provisions of the corrective mechanism spec ified in Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 Article 5, 1(d )), 
crop specific oilseeds payments shall be subject to  the following additional discipline: 
- For every one percent of area planted benefitting  from crop specific oilseeds payments in excess of the EC oilseed base area (after reduction in confor mity 
with (5)), the compensatory payments to such oilsee d producers shall be reduced by one percent. 
- Any such decreases in compensatory payments appli ed to area planted above the SBA shall be applied i n the same marketing year.
- In addition, the percentage decrease in the adjus ted compensatory payment shall be carried forward t o the following marketing year.
- However, in any year in which there is no decreas e required in the compensatory payment, (i.e. area planted is equal to or below the SBA (after reducti on in 
conformity with (5)), the compensatory payment in t hat year may return to the level of the base refere nce above.
- Subsequent adjustments in the compensatory paymen t shall be applied in the manner described above.
