Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
In cooperation with the European Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social 
Committee, 
Whereas the situation of agricultural markets has changed, 
and will change further, as a result of the new direction 
imposed on the common agricultural policy by the need to 
secure a gradual drop in output in those sectors where there 
is a surplus; 
Whereas, in this context, structural policy must be used to 
help farmers adapt to this new situation and to cushion the 
effects that the new markets and prices policy is likely to 
have on agricultural incomes in particular; 
Whereas, in order that the objectives of the structural 
policy may be achieved, the common measure introduced 
by Council Regulation (EEC) No 797/85 of 12 March 1985 
on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures (1), as 
last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1760/87 (2), should 
be adjusted and amplified;

(2) OJ No L 167, 26. 6. 1987, p. 1. in Article 3a of Regulation (EEC) No 1491/85 is hereby 
fixed at 1 300 000 tonnes. 
Article 2 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day

applicable in all Member States. 
Whereas arrangements for the set-aside of arable land may 
assist the various sectors, and in particular those with 
surplus production, to adjust to market requirements; 
Whereas the set-aside arrangements should cover all arable 
land since from one year to another the use made of such 
land varies with the rotation of crops; whereas, however, 
land so far used for crops not subject to a common 
organization of the market should be excluded from the 
scheme; whereas, to achieve tangible results in terms of the 
stabilization of supply, it should be stipulated that at least 
20 % of a farmer's arable land must be set aside for a period 
of at least five years, with provision for him to terminate his 
commitment after three years; 
Whereas, given the greater need to protect the environment 
and to maintain the countryside, Member States should 
take the necessary measures to keep set-aside land in good 
agricultural condition and lay down the necessary 
provisions to protect the environment and natural 
resources; 
Whereas, in the interests of making efficient use of the 
Community's farming resources, Member States should be 
allowed, for a three-year experimental period, to authorize 
land which has been set aside to be used for grazing or for 
producing lentils, chick-peas or vetches; whereas, however, 
in order not to provide incentives for products which are in Proposal for a Council Regulation (EEC) amending Regulations (EEC) No 797/85 and 
No 1760/87 as regards the set-aside of agricultural land and the extensification and 
conversion of production
