THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

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 1624/98 (2), and in particular Article 12
thereof,

(1) Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 762/
94 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1981/98 (4), lays down detailed rules for the applic-
tion of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 with regard

affected by exceptional
in May 1999;
whereas this makes it difficult to graze livestock in
the usual places; whereas temporary alternatives
should therefore be found for
sheltering and
feeding livestock; whereas the use of land set aside
under the arable crop scheme could relieve the
situation; whereas, however, measures should be
provided for to ensure that such land is not put to
any lucrative use;

Regulation (EC) No 762/94;

(4) Whereas the measures provided for in this Regula-
tion are in accordance with the opinion of the
Joint Management Committee for Cereals, Oils
