The basic mechanisms envisaged in the Executive Order to effect the land redistribution programme called for by the CARP are: (a) the registration of all lands coming within the scope of CARP with the Government; (b) the purchase of such lands by the Government from the respective owners, for distribution to landless farmers who till the land; and (c) capital stock sharing, and production sharing, for the benefit of farmworkers on corporate landholdings and large commercial undertakings, respectively. Registration is compulsory, and is required of all owners, lessors, and managers of agricultural land under penalty of forfeiting all room for bargaining as to the determination of the value of the land for the purposes of compensation, should the Government decide to include the land in the redistribution programme. A time frame for compliance with the registration requirements is given, i.e. one hundred and eighty days dating from 27 July 1987. After the registration process has followed its course, and all information and data as to agricultural land, relevant title holders, and tenants and farmers working the land are in, the Government decides whether the land should be redistributed under the CARP. If so, an offer to purchase the land is made, which the landowner can accept or reject. Texte intégral Anglais
