Annex totheproposal foraCouncil Regulation onstatistical surveys of
areas under vines .
1.Title and -purpose cfthe survey
First basic survey onareas under ,vines in1979 »theaimofwhich isto
provide up-to-date information onproduction capacity ,particularly in
respect oftable wine ,"intheCommunity . ;
2.Origin
Council Regulation No24tasmost recently amended "byRegulation
N®92/63/EEC .
3.Justification
The1979 survey will bethefirst onecarried outbythe"ember States
concerned toprovide information onauniform and synchronized basis .The
system ofstatistical surveys will replace the dratving up,analysis and
updating oftheCommujiity viticultural land register ,which hasproved much
too cumbersome .
This information will allow adjiistment oftheproduction potential to
market demand andcanreduce considerably thecost ofmanaging thewine
narket .
4*Allocation andestimation cfcost
Itisanticipated that theexpenditure uncurrea bytheMember States shall
bereimbursed inpart bytheCommission ataflat rate frcm thecredits
entered inthebudget forstudies andsurveys ofastatistical nature
(Article 264)for1979 (l000000units ofaccount )and1930 (2000COOrr.its
ofaccount ).
Thepresent proposal represent 3000000units ofaccount for
approximately 2530000haunder vines inthe4principal wine growing
Member States and 3000000winegrounds .
Theestimate ofcost takes into account thepossibilities incertain Ilember
States ofcarrying outthesurveys bysampling .
