  • 1946 summary

    While awaiting Parliament’s opinion, the Council held an initial debate on the matter in question on the basis of preparatory work undertaken by the Special Committee on Agriculture. The Council debates served to highlight the wide range of views held on each of the Commission’s proposals. However, it was also possible to identify areas of agreement and a number of convergent positions. In this respect: - there was agreement on the need for raising the intervention limits as a short-term measure; - there was also broad support for the proposal on intervention for grazing animals; - several delegations were concerned about the Commission’s proposal on the reduction of aid for arable crops and took the view that in any case such a reduction should be subject to a time limit, since the budget problem was too; - several Member States were of the opinion that the Commission’s proposal, which sought to delay payments to the oilseed sector, would be an appropriate measure; - there was also broad support for introducing measures aimed at promoting beef consumption.

• 1996/09/04 Committee referral announced in Parliament, 1st reading/single reading
• 1996/07/30 Legislative proposal published
  • COM(1996)0422 summary

    OBJECTIVE: given the seriousness of the situation on the beef and veal market, the proposal amends the eligibility conditions for the grant of investment aid and aid for the installation of young farmers in the beef sector and for the grant of compensatory allowances for the less-favoured areas referred to in Directive 75/268/EEC. SUBSTANCE: it is proposed that the measures to restore market equilibrium should be accompanied by corresponding action regarding the structural measures provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91. In particular, the sectoral restrictions on investment aid in the beef sector must be redefined, the same conditions should be applied to setting-up aid for young farmers and the maximum density at which compensatory allowances can be granted should be reduced to 1.2 LU/ha so that they go only to extensive holdings. �
