Whereas the classification of vine varieties approved for cultivation in the Community was determined by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3800/81 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 276/89 (4);
Whereas examination of the Binova rootstock variety has shown it to be suitable for cultivation in one administrative unit in the Federal Republic of Germany; whereas that variety should therefore be included in the list of rootstock varieties recommended in that administrative unit;
Whereas the suitability for cultivation of a certain wine-grape vine variety which has been listed for at least five years in the category of varieties temporarily authorized for certain French administrative units is not satisfactory; whereas that variety should therefore be eliminated from the classification in accordance with the fourth indent of Article 11 (4) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 347/79 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3805/85 (6);
Whereas the classification of wine-grape varieties should now include, among the varieties recommended for certain French and Italian administrative units, certain varieties which have been listed for at least five years in the classification for an administrative unit immediately bordering thereon and which therefore satisfy the condition laid down in the first indent of Article 11 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 347/79;
Whereas clerical errors in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3800/81 should be corrected on this occasion;
Whereas certain wine grape varieties have been examined and found to be suitable for cultivation in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2314/72 (7), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3296/80 (8), for certain Spanish and Italian administrative units; whereas, for those units, those varieties should be included in the category of authorized vine varieties in accordance with Article 11 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 347/79;
Whereas the suitability for cultivation of certain wine-grape vine varieties which have been classified for at least five years as varieties provisionally authorized for certain Italian administrative units has been recognized as satisfactoy; whereas those varieties should accordingly be classified definitively among vine varieties recommended for those administrative units in accordance with Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 347/79;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
