    Parliament approved the Commission proposal with the following amendments: - only fields which could be proved to have been recently used for crop production could qualify; - the proposed measures should be applied first and foremost to those areas which came under Objectives 1 and 5b and those which had suffered serious environmental damage (industrial pollution or fires), severely eroded areas and flood plains; - the measures should be implemented through regional bodies. �

  • Debate in Parliament summary

    Mr BALDARELLI approved the Commission proposal aimed at linking the possibility of counting environmental set-aside and afforestation under the set-aside requirement for arable crops. In fact, the two systems, arable crops and accompanying measures, were distinct. This dissuaded farmers from setting aside or afforesting the most marginal land given that he also had to set aside additional land to benefit from the aid available for arable land. The rapporteur considered that this measure should focus as a priority on Objective 1 and Objective 5b regions and on areas that had experienced serious environmental damage and those suffering from geological deterioration. He also supported the authorisation for the Member States to grant national aid to producers to cover costs incurred: in planting crops for biomass production or medicinal plants; and in establishing hay field crops and recreational activities relating to rural tourism (in accordance with the White Paper).

  • COM(1994)0636 summary

    The Commission's proposal aims to amend Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 in order to take account of measures benefiting the environment and afforestation in the context of set-aside. It is proposed to link the possibility of counting environmental set-aside and afforestation under the set-aside requirement, on certain conditions, namely: - only land for which aid is paid as set-aside can be counted; - only aid provided under the attendant measures is to be granted to a maximum limit equal to the amount of aid provided for compulsory set-aside under Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92. With a view to protecting the environment, national aid may be granted to producers using set-aside land, in the context of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, to plant short-rotation forest trees and shrubs with a view to the production of biomass. �
