COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1566/97 of 1 August 1997 derogating from Regulation (EC) No 762/94 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 with regard to the set-aside scheme
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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 1422/97 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 762/94 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2930/95 (4), lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 with regard to the set-aside scheme and provides in particular that areas set aside are to remain set aside until 31 August at the earliest;
Whereas some regions in the Community were affected by exceptional floods in July 1997; whereas this makes it difficult to graze livestock in the usual places; whereas temporary alternatives should therefore be found for sheltering and feeding livestock; whereas the use of land set aside under the arable crop scheme could relieve the situation; whereas, however, measures should be provided for to ensure that such land is not put to any lucrative use;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to derogate from Regulation (EC) No 762/94 with effect from 23 July 1997;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Joint Management Committee for Cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder,
