Agriculture: set-aside obligation to rem • Table.Briefings

The CAP stipulates that four percent of the land is fallow.

The Commission has announced the further suspension of the set-aside obligation for arable land. The regulation, according to which four percent of arable land must remain fallow, is still not to apply. There are also proposals for catch crops and legumes.

The regulations for a minimum proportion of fallow land on arable land are to remain suspended. This has been announced by the Commission. It is not yet clear what the proposal will look like. The text is due on Thursday. According to reports, it is not only the renewed suspension of the four percent set-aside obligation that is to come. Proposals on catch crops and legumes are also expected. The concrete implementation of the proposals could vary from member state to member state because their authorities have the legal upper hand. mgr
