Regulation 7 Derogation from requirement to set aside land in the production region where the related arable land is situated

For the purposes of the first paragraph of Article 4(2) of Commission Regulation 2293/92, paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply where a farmer farms land in more than one production region.

Where a farmer would be required (but for this provision) to set aside up to 2 hectares of land in any particular production region, he may set aside the required area of land in any one or more of the production regions in which he farms.

Where a farmer would be required (but for this provision) to set aside land in any particular production region, and part or all of the land he farms in another production region is contiguous to any land he farms in the first production region, he may set aside the required area of land or any part of it anywhere in that contiguous area of land.

Where a farmer would be required (but for this provision) to set aside land in any particular production region and the cereals yield in that region and in any other production region or regions in which he farms is the same, he may set aside the required area of land in any one or more of those production regions.

For the purposes of paragraph (4) above, the cereals yield of a production region is the cereals yield calculated in accordance with Article 3(2) of Council Regulation 1765/92.
