Proposal for  aCOUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No . . . of . . . amending Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable  crops and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 1541/93(96/C 125/01)96/0056 (CNS)THE  COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and  43 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee, Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, Whereas, in order to qualify for the compensatory payments for arable crops introduced by  Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2989/95 (2), farmers must  set aside a percentage of their land; whereas, so as to prevent this compulsory set-aside only  being carried out on a farm's marginal land, it is laid down that the set-aside must be rotational;  whereas it is also laid down that the set-aside may be other than rotational provided that the  percentage of land set aside is increased; Whereas experience has shown that farmers have a marked preference for other than rotational  set-aside, because of the simplification that this can involve for the management of their  cultivation plan; whereas, furthermore, a single rate of set-aside is more appropriate for  set-aside used as a tool for the management of the markets for arable crops; whereas its should  therefore no longer be required to carry out set-aside on a rotational basis and a single rate of  set-aside should be set; whereas the abolition of compulsory rotation must not be allowed to weaken  the reform of the common agricultural policy with regard to the control of production of arable  crops; whereas account must be taken of this when setting the single rate of compulsory set-aside; Whereas the setting of a single rate of set-aside requires the repeal of Council Regulation (EEC)  No 1541/93 of 14 June 1993 fixing the non-rotational set-aside rate referred to in Article 7 of  Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (1), Whereas, furthermore, with the setting of a single rate of set-aside, the compulsory rate of  set-aside becomes the same throughout the Community; whereas the additional percentage of land to  be set aside where set-aside obligations are transferred between farmers should therefore be  standardized, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 is hereby amended as follows: 1. In Article 7: (a) the second and third subparagraphs of paragraph 1 are replaced by the following: 'The set-aside requirement shall be 18 %`; (b) the final two sentences of the second indent of the first subparagraph of paragraph 7 are  replaced by the following: 'The set-aside rate referred to in paragraph 1 shall be increased by three percentage points`. 2. In the eighth indent of Article 12, the words 'forms of set-aside other than rotational` are  deleted. Article 2 Regulation (EEC) No 1541/93 is hereby repealed. Article 3 This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in  the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall apply from the 1997/98 marketing year. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all  Member States. Done at . . . For the Council. . . (1) OJ No L 181 , 1. 7. 1992, p. 12.
