I am using ssh from a program which sends commands to ssh and parses answers. However, each time I log in, I get the welcome banner like:
Linux mymachine 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 i686
The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software;
the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the
individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.
...
I do not want this banner, because my parser would need to deal with it. Is it possible to login with ssh and not to get this banner at the beginning?

The system administrator can configure the SSH banner to display a custom message before user authentication. This means that it will be sent even when executing the ad-hoc command. The solution is to use quiet mode as it will suppress most warning and diagnostic messages. Alternatively, use LogLevel option.
The /NOLOGO option prevents display of the copyright message and version number. This option also suppresses echoing of command files. For details, see LINK Command Files. By default, this information is sent by the linker to the Output window.
You should be able to silence this banner, and other diagnostic messages, by passing -q to SSH:
ssh -q user@remote_host
If you want to make -q permanent for all your SSH sessions, do:
echo "LogLevel QUIET" >> ~/.ssh/config
