THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 43

Having regard to the opinion of the European 
Parliament, 
Whereas Article 5c (la) of Commission Regulation 
(EEC) No 804/68 ('), as last amended by Regulation 
(EEC) No 1109/88 (2), allows Member States to 
authorize temporary and partial transfers of reference 
quantities; whereas this facility was introduced speci­
fically to deal with a drop in production; whereas the 
possibility that temporary transfers could be used for 
speculative purposes must be covered and limits set to 
the use of such transfers, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
The following second subparagraph is added to Article 
5c (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68: 
'The Council shall, where necessary and in 
accordance with the same procedure, set limits to the

Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European 
Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas Article 4 (1) of Council Directive 80/215/ECC 
O, as last amended by Directive 87/491/EEC (2), 
defines the types of treatment likely to destroy the causal 
agents of livestock diseases in meat products with a view 
to permitting intra-Community trade in such products 
under certain conditions; 
Whereas experience gained and advances in scientific 
knowledge and meat technology enable a new treatment 
providing the requisite guarantees to be used;

(2) OJ No L 279, 2. 10. 1987, p. 27. Whereas the inclusion of this treatment amongst the 
others already prescribed should facilitate a better degree 
of free circulation in the Community which will increase 
the value of production while avoiding the risk of 
spreading disease; 
Whereas scientific opinion has been expressed which 
indicates that the weight limit of five kilograms hitherto 
applied to such meat products may safely be raised to 
eight kilograms provided all other existing safeguards are 
maintained and applied; 
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECIWE: 
Article 1 
Article 4 (1) (a) (ii) second indent of Directive 
80/215/EEC is hereby replaced by the following: 
'the piece of meat to be treated must not weigh more 
than eight kilograms,'

Member States shall bring into force, not later than 1 
December 1988, the laws, regulations and administrative 
provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They 
shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

Proposal for a Council Recommendation on a flexible and efficient use of airspace 
COM(88) 577 final 
(Submitted by the Commission on 11 December 1988) 
(89/C 34/15) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 84 (2) 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European 
Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas the completion of the internal market by the 
end of 1992 requires the existence of an efficient air 
transport system to ensure the unhindered movement of 
people and goods within the Community; 
Whereas the smooth running of the air traffic system will 
improve the implementation of the common transport 
policy in the field of civil aviation; 
Whereas air transport in Europe is presently under 
considerable strain due to air traffic congestion; 
Whereas the saturation of the airspace available to civil 
aviation in Europe is one of the primary causes of this 
air traffic congestion; 
Whereas the organization of European airspace is still 
based on considerations that prevailed in the late 1940s, 
which are largely redundant in the political climate of 
today and in particular in the Community of Twelve; 
Whereas, for historical rather than operational reasons, 
the organization of the airspace reserved for civil 
aviation follows national boundaries within which 
specific air corridors have been fixed; whereas there is therefore an urgent need for re-examination of the 
considerations to be taken into account for a more 
flexible and efficient use of that airspace; 
Whereas for safety reasons Member States' defence 
policies may still require the exclusive use by military 
aircraft of certain parts of airspace for certain time 
periods; whereas a more rational distribution of the 
available airspace is therefore needed so that the real 
needs of all users are satisfied; 
Whereas modern aircraft are capable of flying with high 
precision on any route independently of the physical 
location of navigational aids; whereas Member States 
should consider the use of airspace outside the fixed air 
corridors, 
HEREBY RECOMMENDS: 
Article 1 
Member States should re-examine the institutional, 
technical, geographical and economic considerations to 
be taken into account with a view to achieving a more 
flexible and efficient use of airspace and should 
cooperate to this end. 
Article 2 
Member States should reconsider the use of airspace by 
civil and military aviation and take appropriate measures 
to redistribute rationally on a temporary or long-term 
basis the available airspace according to users' needs. 
Article 3 
Member States should reconsider the use of fixed air 
corridors/airways and encourage the use of area navi­
gation whenever possible.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

Parliament, 
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 
357/79 (') provides for the Member States concerned to 
carry out basic surveys of areas under vines every 10 
years, but, owing to the difficulties of time-tabling the 
statistical operations in two Member States, it will not be 
possible to complete the second basic survey properly 
within the time limits laid down; 
Whereas it is necessary to make the results of this survey 
available quickly particularly with a view to monitoring 
restructuring measures in the wine sector,

— France is hereby authorized to carry out the survey 
in 1988 or before 1 April 1989 at the latest, relating 
to the situation after grubbing and planting in the 
1987/88 wine-growing year, and
