COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1355/2001

of 4 July 2001

derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1644/96 laying down detailed rules for the grant of aid for
certain grain legumes

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(4)

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

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 of 30
July 1996 on a specific measure for certain grain legumes (1), as
amended by Regulation (EC) No 811/2000 (2), and in particular
Article 6 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1644/96 (3) lays down
detailed rules for the grant of aid for certain grain
legumes. Article 1(a) thereof provides that eligible areas
must have been completely sown and harvested and
maintained in normal growing conditions.

The exceptional weather conditions which have affected
Portugal and certain regions of Spain have not allowed
crops to develop normally and produce a significant
quantity of seeds,
leading to anticipated yields being
much lower than normal, making the harvest operation
commercially unprofitable.
that operation is not
carried out, the producers concerned lose their entitle-
ment to aid per hectare as a result of failure to meet the
requirement to harvest.

If

(3)

The situation described above justifies a derogation from
Regulation (EC) No 1644/96 as regards the requirement
to harvest.

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the 2001/02 marketing year and notwithstanding Article
1(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1644/96, in Portugal and in Spain
except in the Autonomous Communities of Galicia, Asturias,
Cantabria, Païs Vasco and Canarias, areas sown with grain
legumes not harvested shall remain eligible for the aid provided
for in Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 provided that:
— the areas in question remain free from any other crop up to

the normal harvest period for grain legumes,

— all the other conditions referred to in Regulation (EC) No

1644/96 are met.

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 from 1 June 2001.

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