COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1435/2000

of 30 June 2000

setting the coefficient for reducing area payments for France under Council Regulation (EC) No
1251/1999 in the 2000/01 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 producers of
certain arable crops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1624/98 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17
May 1999 establishing a support system for producers of
certain arable crops (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No
2704/1999 (4), and in particular Article 12 thereof,

Whereas:

In order to prevent complicated regionalisation plans
resulting in actual yields which significantly exceed
historical yields, Article 3(6) of Regulation (EEC) No
1765/92 provides for the reduction of compensatory
in
payments during the following marketing year
proportion to the overrun of the average historical yield
resulting from the 1993 regionalisation plans.

The procedure to be used for measuring such overruns
is laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1237/
95 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2017/
97 (6).

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

(6)

From the 2000/01 marketing year,
compensatory
payments are to be replaced by area payments to arable
crop producers under Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999.
Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 is to be repealed as from
1 July 2000.

The new French regionalisation plan submitted to the
Commission in accordance with Article 3(6) of Regula-
tion (EC) No 1251/1999 is based on the same principles
and includes
the same geographical breakdown as
applied in 1999. Under these circumstances, the correc-
tion coefficient should be applied to area payments for
the 2000/01 marketing year.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Cereals,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Pursuant to Article 3(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, area
payments for the 2000/01 marketing year under Regulation
(EC) No 1251/1999 shall be multiplied by a coefficient of
0,996 in the case of France.

Article 2

Application of that method in respect of the 1999/2000
marketing year results in the coefficient indicated in this
Regulation being set for France.

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

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

Done at Brussels, 30 June 2000.
