amending and correcting Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92 laying down detailed rules for applying the integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 of 27 November 1992 establishing an integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1593/2000(2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In relation to the determination of the area of agricultural parcels eligible for area payments, experience has shown that it is necessary to define the acceptable width of certain features of the fields, in particular hedges, ditches and walls. In view of specific environmental needs, it is appropriate to provide some flexibility within the limits taken into account when the regional yields were fixed in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1672/2000(4).

In order to ensure the correctness of the data in the database, false notifications due to reasons attributable to the applicant should be sanctioned immediately after being established.
