Amended  proposal  for  a 

COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EC) 

amending Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 establishing a 
support system for producers of certain 
arable crops and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1872/94

(presented  by the Commission  pursuant  to Article  189 a (2) 
of the  EC-Treaty) 

Explanatory memorandum 

On 31 July  1996 the Commission  submitted to the Council a proposal for  a Regulation 
amending  Regulation  (EEC)  No  1765/921,  and  in  particular  Article  11(2)  as  regards 
postponement of payment of the advance on the projected reference amount for oilseeds. 

Without  prejudice  to  the  opinion  of the  European  Parliament,  the  Council  meeting  on 
30 October  1996  endorsed  this  part  of  the  proposal  on  condition  that  the  maximum 
amount  of  the  advance  be  increased  from  50% to  65%. This  draft  Regulation  is  in 
response  to the  Council's  request  that  a proposal  to that  effect  be submitted  to  it. The 
European Parliament endorsed  such an amendment to Regulation  (EEC) No  1765/92 at 
its session on 3 December 1996. 

This proposal meets the requests of those two institutions.

The  proposal  for  a  Council  Regulation  amending  Regulation  (EEC)  No  1765/92 

establishing  a  support  system  for  producers  of  certain  arable  crops  and  repealing 

Regulation  (EC) No  1872/94  [COM (96 0212 (CNS)) 422 final] is hereby  amended  as 

follows:

"Whereas compensatory payments for arable crops from the 1997 harvest other than 

the advance  for  oilseeds are chargeable to the  1998 budget; whereas  1997 budget 

funds  need to be released and a system of payment should  be established  in  future 

which  can  be  administered  more  effectively;  whereas,  to  that  end,  advances  for 

oilseeds  should  be postponed  by setting the date from  which  they  may  be paid  at 

16 October, with an increase in the maximum advance payment from 50%  to  65%;" 

2. 

In Article 1, the following point (h)a, is inserted after point (h):

This measure has no budgetary consequences since it is proposed  in conjunction  with a proposal to postpone payment of 
the advance for oilseeds to after  15 October  1996. This postponement will result in a saving estimated  at ECU  1.338 m for 
1997 and has a neutral effect  on the budget from  1998 onwards.
