COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1638/2000

of 25 July 2000

fixing for the 2000/2001 marketing year the amount of aid for the cultivation of grapes intended
for the production of certain varieties of dried grapes

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

(5)

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28
October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in
last
products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as
amended by Regulation (EC) No 2701/1999 (2), and in partic-
ular Article 7(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

The second subparagraph of Article 7(1) of Regulation
(EC) No 2201/96 establishes the criteria for fixing the
aid for the cultivation of grapes intended for the produc-
tion of dried grapes of the sultana and Muscatel varieties
and currants.

The third subparagraph of Article 7(1) of that Regula-
tion states that the amount of aid may be differentiated
according to grape variety and other factors which may
affect yields. In the case of sultanas an additional differ-
entiation should be provided for, between areas affected
by phylloxera and other areas.

Verification of the areas used to grow those grapes has
revealed no overrun of the maximum guaranteed area
fixed in Article 2(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No
1621/1999 of 22 July 1999 laying down detailed rules
for the application of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 as
regards the aid for the cultivation of grapes to produce
certain varieties of dried grapes (3), as amended by Regu-
lation (EC) No 2256/1999 (4).

(4)

The aid to be granted to producers replanting their
vineyards in order to combat phylloxera under the

conditions provided for in Article 7(4) of Regulation
(EC) No 2201/96 should be determined.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Veget-
ables,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

For the 2000/2001 marketing year:
