COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 922/97 of 20 May 1997 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas, where raw materials for the manufacture of products not intended for direct use for human or animal consumption are produced on set-aside land, the delivery of those raw materials to the processor must be confirmed for control reasons before compensation may be paid to the applicant; whereas experience has shown that compliance with this rule makes it difficult to pay the compensation concerned by the deadline of 31 December; whereas the deadline for paying the compensation for the set-aside obligation should be postponed to 31 March in cases where the set-aside land is used for the production of raw materials for the manufacture of products not intended for direct use for human or animal consumption;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (4) should therefore be amended,
