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 agricultural crops (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Articles 12 and  16 thereof,
Whereas Article 11 (7) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 provides that those Member States in which there is a risk that the National Reference Area will be significantly exceeded may limit the area of land for which an individual producer may receive the  crop-specific oilseed compensatory payment; whereas this limit should be established on the basis of objective criteria and expressed as a percentage of a producer's eligible arable area; whereas this limit may be differentiated between Regional Base  Areas; whereas the limit should be notified to producers before a fixed date and before oilseed sowing commences; whereas if a producer should request the crop-specific compensatory payment for land in excess of this limit, such land should be excluded  from his application; whereas the area of land for which the producer may receive set-aside compensation may have to be reduced as a consequence; whereas transitional measures should be introduced to cover cases where the notification of the limit to  producers was made after the fixed date but before sowing commenced, and to cover cases where the limit has been expressed otherwise than as a percentage of the producer's total eligible arable area;
Whereas the provisions of this Regulation will affect oilseed crop sowings and set-aside made in respect of the 1995/96 marketing year; whereas the set-aside period in respect of the 1995/96 marketing year starts on 15 January 1995; whereas the  provisions of this Regulation should apply before that date;
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,
