COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2218/90

of 30 July 1990

amending Regulation (EEC) No 3800/81 determining the classification of vine varieties

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1325/90 (2), and in particular Article 13 (5) thereof,

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 1543/89 (4);

Whereas certain wine grape vine varieties have been examined and found to be suitable for cultivation in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2314/72 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3296/80 (6), for certain Spanish 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 Council Regulation (EEC) No 2389/89 (7);

Whereas the classification of wine grape vine varieties should now include, among the varieties recommended for certain Spanish administrative units, a French administrative unit and a Greek administrative unit, 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 2389/89;

Whereas omissions should be rectified by including in the category of varieties authorized for the preparation of table wine for a Spanish administrative unit and two Greek administrative units in accordance with Article 11 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2389/89;

Whereas experience has shown that wine from certain wine grape varieties and certain table grape varieties authorized for a French administrative unit, two Greek administrative units and the whole of the territory of the United Kingdom can be considered to be of normally good quality; whereas these varieties should therefore be classified in the category of recommended varieties for that French administrative unit, those Greek administrative units and the whole of the territory of the United Kingdom in accordance with Article 11 (2) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2389/89;

Whereas the classification should be supplemented by adding wine grape varieties and certain table grape varieties the cultivation suitability of which has been examined and found to be satisfactory; whereas, in accordance with Article 11 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2389/89 such varieties may therefore be provisionally authorized for certain French administrative units and the whole of the territory of the United Kingdom;

Whereas experience has shown that the requirements for the category of recommended varieties are no longer satisfied by two varieties for the whole of the territory of the United Kingdom; whereas these varieties should therefore be classified in the category of authorized varieties for that territory in accordance with Article 11 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2389/89;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3800/81 is hereby amended in accordance with the Annex hereto.
