of 9 September 2002

amending the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1535/2002 of 28 August 2002 derogating
from Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain
arable crops, as regards the area payments for certain arable crops and the payments for set-aside

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17

(2)

Under Regulation (EC) No 1535/2002 (3) Germany may,
in respect of the marketing year 2002/03, make an
advance payment of up to 50 % of the area payments for
cereals, including the supplement for durum wheat, and
up to 50 % of the payments for set-aside to producers in
the regions, listed in the Annex to the Regulation, which
were hit by floods in August 2002.

In the light of developments in certain parts of Mecklen-
burg-Vorpommern and Schleswig-Holstein, and taking
into account the budgetary situation, Germany should be
authorised to make advance area payments for cereals
and set-aside in respect of the marketing year 2002/03

for additional areas of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and
Sachsen-Anhalt before 16 November 2002 and should
no longer be authorised to do so in the case of certain
areas of Schleswig-Holstein.

The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1535/2002 should
accordingly be amended.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1535/2002 is replaced by
the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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, 9 September 2002.
