THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 of 5 February 1979 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 798/85 (2), and in particular Article 31 (4) thereof,

Whereas the classification of vine varieties approved for cultivation in the Community was last determined by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3800/81 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1871/85 (4);

Whereas experience has shown that wines obtained from certain wine grape vine varieties and certain table grape vine varieties listed for five years in the category of authorized or temporarily authorized varieties for certain French administrative units may be regarded as normally being of good quality; whereas it is appropriate, therefore, to include these varieites among the varieties recommended for the same administrative units in accordance with Article 11 (2) (a), second indent, of Council Regulation (EEC) No 347/79 of 5 February 1979 on general rules for the classification of vine varieties (5), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece;

Whereas the classification of wine grape and table grape vine varieties should now include, among the varieties recommended or authorized for certain French administrative units, certain varieties which have been listed for at least five years in the category 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 the classification should now also include two wine grape vine varieties which have been examined and found to be satisfactory for cultivation; whereas, in accordance with Article 11 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 347/79, these varieties may be authorized on a provisional basis for the United Kingdom;

Whereas the suitability for cultivation of one authorized French wine grape vine variety is not satisfactory; whereas this variety should therefore be deleted from the classification in accordance with Article 11 (3) 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:
