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 scheme for producers of certain arable-crops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 232/94 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 provides, inter alia, for the application of the compensatory payment scheme within a system of regional base areas; whereas, in order to ensure the necessary transparency and harmonious administration of these areas, the number of eligible hectares under the compensatory payment scheme and their distribution should be fixed for each Member State;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 845/93 of 7 April 1993 laying down the regional base areas applicable under the support system for producers of certain arable crops (3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 935/94 (4) does not take account of traditional seed flax areas and seed flax has recently been added to the list of products eligible for compensatory payments;

Whereas account should also be taken of changes made to the regionalization plans since Regulation (EEC) No 845/93 was adopted;

Whereas the scale of the changes that have occurred necessitates the replacement of Regulation (EEC) No 845/93;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Joint Management Committee for cereals, oils and fats and dried fodder,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
