At the same time it abolishes a number of direct payment schemes as from 2010. Moreover, it introduces a number of changes to the system according to which direct payments to a farmer who does not comply with certain conditions in the areas of public, animal and plant health, environment and animal welfare (cross-compliance) are to be subject to reductions or exclusions. (2)  The direct payment schemes were first introduced as a result of the reform of the common agricultural policy in 1992 and further developed under subsequent reforms. () OJL 299, 16.11.2007, p. 1. ( ( ( ( The schemes have been subject to an integrated adminis- tration and control system (hereinafter referred to as inte- grated system). That system, as laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 796/2004 of 24 April 2004 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of cross- compliance, modulation and the integrated administration and control system provided for in Council Regulations (EC) No 1782/2003 and (EC) No 73/2009, as well as for the implementation of cross compliance provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 (2), has proven to be an effective and efficient means for the implementation of direct payment schemes. Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 builds upon the basis of that integrated system. Taking into account the modifications made to the direct payments by Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, it is appropri- ate to repeal and replace Regulation (EC) No 796/2004, whilst basing the new Regulation on the principles as established by Regulation (EC) No 796/2004. At the same time, as a consequence of the incorporation of the wine sector in Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, it is appropriate to replace references to Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 (}) existing in Regulation (EC) No 796/2004 by references to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. For reasons of coherence, certain provi- sions of Regulation (EC) No 796/2004 should be incorpo- rated into Commission Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009 () which has repealed and replaced Commission Regulation (EC) No 795/2004 of 21 April 2004 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of the single payment scheme provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing cer- tain support schemes for farmers (). Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 leaves a choice for the Mem- ber States with regard to the application of some of the aid schemes provided for therein. This Regulation should, therefore, make provision for the administration and con- trol to be carried out in the Member States in view of their possible choice to enter certain aid schemes. The relevant provisions of this Regulation should, therefore, only apply to the extent as the Member States have made such choices. OJ L 141, 30.4.2004, p. 18. OJ L 148, 6.6.2008, p. 1.
