But the Commission wanted to wait in order to obtain a more reliable estimate of this year's harvest. However, in order to arrive at a compromise on the price package - and God knows that, as the days and hours pass, the Commission is sometimes persuaded to support a compromise within the Council of Ministers - the Commission agreed to propose, sooner than intended, it is true, an exemption from the basic rate of compulsory setaside, fixed at 17.5% by the 1992 Regulation.
Päästäkseen kompromissiin hintapaketista - ja on totta, että kun aika kuluu, on komission toisinaan suostuttava kompromissiin ministerineuvoston tasolla - komissio päätti ehdottaa, tosin aikaisemmin kuin odotettiin, poikkeusta vuoden 1992 asetuksessa vahvistettuun 17, 5 prosentin pakolliseen kesannointiasteeseen.
