This paper reports on changes in the segetal weed community Aphano-Matricarietum chamomillae R. Tx. 37, caused by intensification of crop production (i.e. increase of fertilizing level, chemical weed control, soil ameliorating and frequent tillage) on territory of Dravsko and Ptujsko polje.

Information to encourage the elimination of persistent organic pollutants or a reduction in their use, including, where appropriate, information on integrated pest management, integrated crop management and the economic and social impacts of this elimination or reduction; and

Food production chain includes all phases of food production (including farmed animal production prior to slaughter, growing arable crops, vegetables, fruit, hunting, fishing and harvesting wild products) processing, preparation and catering and marketing (including import, storage, transport, distribution, sale or supply) of food/foodstuffs.

To that end, certain muftiannual crops should be considered as included among rotating crops.

For the purposes of Article 1(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999, "silage grass" means the crop grown on areas mainly sown to herbaceous grasses and harvested green at least once a year with a view to preservation in an enclosed environment by anaerobic fermentation.

Special provisions covering certain arable crops

"arable crops" are taken to mean those listed in Annex I.

The official languages and the working languages of the institutions of the Union shall be Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish."

Arable crops not included under D/01 to 19 or under D/21 and D/22.

A common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species is therefore provided in the Council Directive 2002/53/EC(4).

It is classified as subsidies on products, in line with compensatory payments for arable crops.

Characterisation and evaluation of crop genetic resources that could be of interest for European agriculture.

In order to remove any temporary difficulties in the general supply of basic, certified or commercial seed that occur in the Community and cannot be otherwise overcome, it may be decided in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 21 that Member States shall permit, for a specified period, the marketing throughout the Community in quantities necessary to resolve supply difficulties of seed of a category subject to less stringent requirements, or of seed of a variety not included in the Common Catalogue of Varieties of Agricultural Plant Species or in the national catalogues of varieties of the Member States.

The minimum period for which land is to be set aside should extend at least over the growing cycle of the arable crops.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops

special provisions should be laid down to cover biennial crops in view of the length of the production cycle;

The minimum period for which land is to be set aside must extend at least over the growing cycle of the arable crops covered by Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999.

In such cases and if the Member States chooses to establish a base area for "arable crops other than maize":

Collecting, in conformity with international law and obligations, of crop genetic resources that could be of interest for European agriculture.

The Commission should publish in the Official Journal of the European Communities, C Series, the varieties which are being added to the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species.

care should nonetheless be taken to ensure that such crops comply with the rules governing the use of land set aside for the production of non-food products;

without prejudice to the third indent of Article 12(2)(b), areas used for the production of arable crops as defined in Annex I of Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops(18) shall not be taken as "forage area";
