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 10 (4) and Article 12 thereof;
Whereas compensatory payments as referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 must be restricted to certain specified areas; whereas in particular one application for compensatory payment only should be permitted for any piece of land for any  marketing year and on condition that no other application for a per hectare aid under the common organization of a market has been made for the same piece of land; whereas, however, compensatory payments may be granted on land that is aided under a  scheme falling within the structural or environmental policies;
Whereas the planting of areas for the sole purpose of receiving a compensatory payment should be prevented; whereas to this end pieces of land in respect of which a compensatory payment is applied for must be cultivated normally;
Whereas in view of the special treatment afforded to durum wheat under Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 specific rules are required for this cereal; whereas in this connection and in order not to destabilize durum wheat production in the traditional regions  the conditions to be met when entitlement to the supplement to the compensatory payment referred to in Article 4 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 is transferred should be laid down;
Whereas pieces of land sown to mixtures of cereals with oil seeds and protein crops are eligible for compensatory payments; whereas the compensatory payment for such areas should be based on the payment applicable to cereals;
Whereas, in order to prevent an excessive increase in maize growing for silage in certain parts of the Community, Member States should be authorized to make compensatory payments for areas sown to this crop at the rate applicable for another feed  cereal;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
