*****COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2238/89  of 25 July 1989  amending Regulation (EEC) No 2083/80 laying down detailed rules of application concerning the economic activity of producer groups and associations thereof  THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1360/78 of 19 June 1978 on producer groups and associations thereof (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3875/88 (2), and in particular the second and third indents of Article 6 (3) thereof,  Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2083/80 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3087/88 (4), lays down detailed rules of application concerning the economic activity of producer groups and associations thereof; whereas it is necessary to supplement those rules as a result of the extension of the field of application of Regulation (EEC) No 1360/78 to include four sectors in Ireland and the sector of wine of fresh grapes in certain areas of France;  Whereas agricultural holdings in Ireland are generally small in size and whereas the market is supplied by a large number of small-scale producers; whereas producer groups and associations thereof are practically unknown or market only a negligible proportion of production; whereas, as regards the economic activity of these groups, the minimum limits for volume of production and membership should be fixed at relatively low lowels; whereas to ensure that the associations play a sufficiently important economic role, a minimum number of member groups and an adequate geographical area should be laid down;  Whereas the inclusion in the common measure of the entire sector of wine of fresh grapes in France requires minimum thresholds to be set for each category of wine; whereas for this purpose account must be taken of trends in this sector, which is characterized by a reduction in production due to grubbing-up measures and a pattern of demand which is heretogeneous and geared toward product diversity;  Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development,  HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:  Article 1  Regulation (EEC) No 2083/80 is hereby amended as follows:  1. The following subparagraph is added to Article 3 (2):  '(g) in the case of Ireland, associations must comply with the minimum requirements as regards area cultivated, turnover, share of national production and number of recognized producer groups laid down in point V of the Annex. Irish associations must cover at least the area of one province.'  2. The Annex is amended as follows:  (a) Table V in the Annex hereto is inserted above the notes at the bottom of the page.  (b) Tabel Ia is replaced by Table Ia in the Annex hereto.  Article 2  This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.  This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.  Done at Brussels, 25 July 1989.
