COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1334/95 of 13 June 1995 deferring the final date for sowing certain arable crops in certain areas of Finland and Sweden for the 1995/96 marketing year

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for pro ducers of certain arable crops (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in par ticular Article 12 thereof,

Whereas Article 10 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 requires producers, in order to qualify for compensatory payments under the arable support system, to have sown the seed and lodged an application for aid by 15 May preceding the relevant harvest at the latest;

Whereas Article 2 (1) (c) and (d) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2295/92 of 31 July 1992 on detailed rules for the application of the support system for producers of the protein crops referred to in Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3347/93 (3), sets 15 May as the final date that may be fixed by Member States for the sowing and submission of applications in respect of protein crops;

Whereas, owing to the climatic conditions in Finland and Sweden, sowings of cereals, oilseeds, protein crops and linseed in certain areas of those Member States take place after 15 May; whereas it was therefore necessary to extend the time limit for the sowing of such crops by Commission Regulation (EC) No 918/95 of 26 April 1995 deferring the final date for sowing certain arable crops in certain areas (4), and Commission Regulation (EC) No 919/95 of 26 April 1995 amending Regulation (EC) No 1055/94 deferring the final date for sowing oilseeds in certain areas (5), to 31 May or 15 June according to region;

Whereas the deferral of the sowing date for certain crops in certain crops in certain areas to 31 May for the 1995/96 marketing year must be further extended to 15 June due to the particular weather conditions during May 1995;

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:
