COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1128/98

of 29 May 1998

deferring the final date for sowing certain arable crops in certain regions in the
1998/99 marketing year

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92
of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for produ-
cers of certain arable crops (1), as last amended by Regula-
tion (EC) No 2309/97 (2), and in particular Article 12
thereof,

Whereas Article 10(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92
stipulates that, to qualify for the compensatory payments
for cereals, protein crops and linseed under the support
system for certain arable crops, producers must have sown
the seed at the latest by 15 May preceding the relevant
harvest;

Whereas Article 9 of Commission Regulation (EC) No
658/96 of 9 April 1996 on certain conditions for granting
compensatory payments under the support system for
producers of certain arable crops (3), as last amended by
Regulation (EC) No 760/98 (4), fixes 15 May as the final
date for oilseeds;

Whereas, because of the particular weather conditions this
year, the final dates for sowing seeds fixed for Germany,
Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Greece, the Nether-
lands, Portugal, France, the United Kingdom and Sweden
cannot be complied with in all cases; whereas, in conse-

linseed for

quence, the time limit for sowing cereals and/or oilseeds,
the 1998/99
and/or protein crops and/or
marketing year should, where necessary, be deferred for
certain specific regions; whereas to do so Regulations
(EEC) No 1765/92 and (EC) No 658/96 should be waived
as permitted by the seventh indent of Article 12 of Regu-
lation (EEC) No 1765/92;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are
in accordance with the opinion of the Joint Management
Committee for Cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The final dates for crop sowings for the 1998/99 mar-
keting year are fixed in the Annex hereto for the crops
the Member States and regions indicated therein.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day
following its publication in the Official Journal of the
European Communities.

It shall apply from 15 May 1998.

States.

Done at Brussels, 29 May 1998.
