COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 532/2000

of 10 March 2000

derogating from Regulation (EC) No 658/96 on certain conditions for granting compensatory
payments under the support system for producers of certain arable crops

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

(4)

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30
June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of
certain arable crops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1624/98 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,

necessary to derogate from Regulation (EC) No 658/96
under certain conditions.

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

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 658/96 (3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 610/1999 (4), estab-
lishes the rules for applying Regulation (EEC) No 1765/
92 as regards the conditions for granting compensatory
payments for certain arable crops. Article 3(1)(c) stipu-
lates that the arable crop must be maintained in normal
growth conditions until at least the beginning of the
flowering period.

During May 1999 certain Community regions were hit
by flooding thus preventing them from complying with
the above condition.

Since non-compliance with the condition was due to
circumstances beyond the control of those concerned, it
would not be appropriate to refuse to grant compens-
is therefore
atory payments for the flooded land.

It

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the 1999/2000 marketing year and by derogation from
Article 3(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 658/96,
land sown to
arable crops and declared flooded in the regions listed in the
Annex to this Regulation shall remain eligible for the compens-
atory payments laid down for non-irrigated crops provided that
that land remained unused during the normal flowering period
of the damaged crop.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publica-
tion in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply to compensatory payments for the 1999/2000
marketing year.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 10 March 2000.
