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 Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 defines the land eligible for compensatory  payments; whereas in order to take account of certain specific situations where its provisions  could have effects which are unduly restrictive, the said Article allows certain derogations by the  Member States in accordance with their individual situations; whereas the application of the  derogations contained in the fourth paragraph of that Article must not undermine the effectiveness  of the arrangements laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 and in particular must not give rise  to an increase in the total eligible area; whereas those derogations should be restricted to those  cases where a producer is obliged to exchange ineligible land for eligible land within his holding;  whereas to prevent the exchange of land beyond what is strictly necessary, Member States shall be  required to give prior approval to all such exchanges;
Whereas it is necessary to amend Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2780/92  (2), as last amended by  Regulation (EC) No 2246/94  (3) accordingly;
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,
