Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3116/94 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3653/90 of 11 December 1990 introducing transitional measures governing the organization of the market in cereals and rice in Portugal (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 738/93 (4), introduces a specific  degressive aid scheme for Portuguese producers of common wheat and other cereals; whereas the existence in Portugal of such an aid scheme may cause some Portuguese producers of durum wheat to make insufficient use of their rights, with the result that  the ceiling of 35 000 ha granted to Portugal is not fully exploited; whereas, under the circumstances, the rules governing the transfer of entitlement to the supplement to the compensatory payment for durum wheat as provided for by Commission Regulation  (EEC) No 2780/92 of 24 September 1992 on the conditions for the grant of compensatory payments under the support system for producers of certain arable crops (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2246/94 (6), should be temporarily relaxed;
