Communication to arable crop producers about derogation concerning set aside land obligation
in 2008

(2007/C 217/07)

The Commission wishes to draw the attention of Community arable crop producers to the proposal for a
Council Regulation adopted by the Commission on 13 September 2007 derogating from Regulation (EC)
No 1782/2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural
policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers as regards set aside obligation for the year 2008.

Under the proposal, currently submitted to Council and Parliament for adoption, the obligatory set aside
rate for 2008 would be set at 0 %. Therefore, farmers would not be obliged to set aside land from produc-
tion in order to be entitled to the amount fixed by the set aside entitlements. Farmers could benefit from
the measure for their Autumn 2007 and Spring 2008 sowings.
