Subject : Aid for the production of certain legumes ( chick-peas , lentils and
          vetches )
The draft Regulation concerned provides for an aid scheme per hectare for the
maintenance of production of chick-peas , lentils and vetches .
This additional measure takes account of the arrangements in force at present
for set-as ide / "yellow " fallow .
The premium granted under the arrangements for the set-aside of arable land
could have encouraged certain holdings , currently cultivating the crops in
question and located outside the regions involved in set-aside , to convert to
other crops .
The aim of the scheme proposed in the draft Regulation is to grant aid to
hectares cultivated in the 1985 / 86 and 1986 / 87 marketing years en the basis of
premiums fixed by the Member States within the framework of Council
Regulation ( EEC ) No 797 / 85 .
Together with the aid per hectare , the Commission will fix any reductions in
that aid on the basis of amounts by which the areas at present under such
crops are exceeded .
The appended financial statement includes the information necessary to
determine the cost of the measure to be charged to the EAGGF Guarantee Section .

in particular Article 43 thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee ,
Whereas the maintenance of crops of grain legumes such as lentils , chick-peas

Whereas , in the framework of the aid scheme for the set-aside of arable land
introduced by Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 795 / 85 of 12 March 1985 on improving
the efficiency of agricultural structures ( 1 ), as last amended by Regulation
( EEC ) No 1094 / 88 ( 2 ), the Council has laid down that certain Member States may
authorize the cultivation of lentils , chick-peas and vetches on arable land
withdrawn from production pursuant to the abovementioned measures ; whereas the
objective of obtaining the abovementioned crops may also be achieved by
granting an aid per hectare for areas at present under those crops during the
period of application of the arrangements for the set-aside of arable land ;
whereas , as a corollary , the amount of the aid granted must be fixed according
to the levels of aid paid under the arrangements laid down in Regulation ( EEC )

increase in areas under the crops in question ; whereas a maximum guaranteed
area , which if exceeded will result in a reduction of the aid for the
following marketing year , should be determined ,
