’  ( 1 ).  The Commission thus proposes that its original proposal be amended , with
  new recitals being added and existing ones altered , in the light of :
        the need to preserve consistency between agricultural policy and the
        maintenance of economic and social activity in rural areas
  -     the need to help farmers in adapting to the new approaches in market and
        prices policy
        the need to avoid the harmful impact which intensive farming can have on
        Europe’s environment and landscape
) - the need to obviate the risk of the contributions to be made by the Member
        States contributing to the renationalization of agricultural policy .

             to the proposal contained in document COM(88 ) 84 Final for a
    Council Regulation ( EEC ) amending Regulations ( EEC ) No 797 / 85 and No 1760 / 87
         as regards the set-aside of agricultural land and the extensif ication
                               and conversion of production .
The Commi ss ion ' s original proposal is amended as set out below :

        social activity in rural areas ".
2 . In the second recital , the word " structural " is replaced by " agricultural ".
3 . In the third recital the words " the structural " are replaced by
     " agricultural ".
4 . A new recital is added after the fourth recital :
    - " Whereas excessive intensification and the concentration which results
        from it are having a harmful impact on Europe 's environment and
        landscape " .
5 . A new recital is added after the sixth recital :
    - "Whereas the land set-aside scheme presupposes a contribution by the
        Member States , which involves a risk of the common agricultural policy
        being renationalized , and whereas it is therefore for the Commission to
        guarantee that the measures are implemented in a Community spirit and to
        ensure real and effective supervision of the scheme ".
