Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1603/83 (*)

Proposal for a Council Regulation introducing a derogation to the scheme provided for in

European Economic Community, and in particular 
Article 43 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas, in view of the increasing imbalance on the 
wine market, it is indispensable that the reduction of 
wine-growing potential be accelerated; whereas the 
measures provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 
456/80 are proving inadequate as a means of 
achieving this objective and must be replaced by a 
scheme which provides greater incentive and ensures 
that areas which are abandoned are abandoned 
permanently; whereas, in parallel to the said scheme, 
steps should be taken to bring forward the expiry of 
the provisions of the aforesaid Regulation and 
provide financial encouragement for wine-growers 
who, under Regulation (EEC) No 456/80, have 
undertaken to abandon certain areas under vines 
temporarily to replace such undertakings by those of 
permanent abandonment as soon as possible, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
By way of derogation from the terms of Articles 2 
(1), 4 (2) and 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 456/80: 
(a) the premium for the temporary abandonment of 
wine-growing may be granted only until the end 
of the 1984/85 wine-growing year; 
(b) the amount of the permanent abandonment 
premium shall be fixed at 3 000 ECU per hectare 
for wine-growers lodging applications in respect 
of the 1984/85 and 1985/86 wine-growing years; 
(c) the common measure provided for in Regulation 
(EEC) No 456/80 shall end with the 1984/85 
wine-growing year as regards the temporary 
abandonment premium and with the 1992/93 
wine-growing year as regards the permanent 
abandonment premium.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 
day following its publication in the Official Journal of
