Traduction de «Gel des terres fondé sur la rotation » (Français → Anglais) :

Whereas, in order to benefit from the compensatory payments under the 'general scheme`, producers must set aside a predetermined percentage of their arable area; whereas the set-aside should normally be organized on the basis of a rotation of areas; whereas non-rotational fallow should be permitted but at a higher percentage rate which should be determined on the basis of a scientific study of the comparitive effectiveness in terms of production restraint of rotational and non-rotational fallow; whereas the land set aside would hav ...[+++]e to be cared for so as to meet certain minimum environmental standards; whereas the areas set aside as temporary fallow can also be used for non-food purposes, provided effective control systems can be applied;

The rotational set-aside requirement is fixed at 12% for the marketing year in question.

Under the new proposals, in the interest of flexibility, it is proposed to have a rotation of three years, rather than six years but at the higher rate (20%). - as to co-existence between fixed and rotational set-aside, it will be necessary to avoid slippage (by, for example, a producer putting his best land in rotational set-aside, and his least productive land in fixed set-aside).

This involves a further amendment to the basic set aside rules set out in Regulation (1765/92): - to encourage further control of production, farmers who set aside more than the obligatory minimum (15%) may also be compensated for the extra fallow land; - to ensure sensible application, Member States may limit the use farmers make of this extra flexibility, for environmental reasons, or to avoid the danger of abandonment of land in certain regions; - farmers will have the possibility to operate both fixed and rotational set-aside on their ...[+++]holdings at the same time; - set-aside compensation to be increased to the equivalent of 57 ECU per tonne of cereals (from the present 45 ECU per tonne); - at present, under rotational set-aside, the producer may set-aside each part of his land only once, within a period of six years.

According to these rules : - the rate of rotating set-aside is 15% of the farmer's declaration of land under production until further notice; - a non-rotating type of set-aside becomes possible in 1994, at 20% except in Denmark and the UK (18%); in the case of the U.K., the rate of 18% for fixed set-aside was based on the results of a scientific study on the structure of U.K. agriculture and the impact of fixed set-aside on controlling production; in the case of Denmark, the 18% rate was decided upon taking into consideration the result of the Danish implementation of the EC nitrates Directive on controlling and de-intensifying Danish ...[+++] arable production; in both countries, the effectiveness of the 18% rate is subject to review.

However cultivation of crops for non-food is allowed. - we do not want farmers to take on poor quality land just to set it aside, so set aside doesn't count unless it is on fields which have been farmed by the same farmer for at least two years (The Commission has told Member states that they should make sensible exceptions to this rule, for example where a farm has just been inherited); - rotating set-aside doesn't count unless t ...[+++]he land lies fallow for at least the period from, 15 January to the end of August.
