COMMISSION DECISION of 23 December 1992 on the regionalization plan submitted by France under Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (Only the French text is authentic)
(93/120/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic 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), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas on 3 August 1992 France forwarded a 'framework' regionalization plan to the Commission pursuant to Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92;
Whereas an examination of the abovementioned plan shows that oilseeds are treated separately from other arable crops as a result of a specific regionalization approach carrying over the previous system;
Whereas cereals yields are calculated by means of a special equalization formula differing from that for determining compensatory payments;
Whereas, however, treating oilseeds in the same way as other arable crops could lead to difficulties for oilseeds when applied too inflexibly; whereas the unmodulated application of the criteria laid down for calculating the cereal yields in Regulation  (EEC) No 1765/92 is likely to cause considerable difficulties as regards the income of producers in French regions with lower yields; whereas provision should therefore be made for a transitional period to facilitate the switchover from the system  previously applicable to oilseeds to that provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 and to permit the necessary adjustments in regions with lower yields;
Whereas the other aspects of the plan call for no special remarks at this stage;
Whereas the joint Management Committee for Cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
