THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

Article 1

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 is amended as follows:

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,

Having regard to the opinion of
Committee,

the Economic and Social

Whereas:

(1) A number of Member States pursue an active policy of
generational replacement
in the agricultural sector. This
policy has proved its worth particularly in the wine
sector, where there is a great need to attract younger
growers.

(2) In order to facilitate the application of such a policy in the
wine sector, and pending implementation of the system of
reserves of planting rights, provision should be made for
the new planting rights awarded to young farmers to be
eligible, on a temporary basis, for the restructuring aid
scheme
(EC)
No 1493/1999 (1). This should also be allowed for the
new planting rights awarded within the framework of the
former material improvement plans referred to in Council
Regulation (EC) No 950/97 of 20 May 1997 on improving
the efficiency of agricultural structures (2) to facilitate the
transition from earlier arrangements.

farmers and used during the 2000/01, 2001/02 and
2002/03 marketing years.(cid:146)

2. In the second subparagraph of Article 15, point

(b)

is

replaced by the following:

(cid:145)(b) provisions governing the use of replanting rights in
general and of new planting rights awarded within
the framework of material improvement plans and to
young farmers, in the implementation of programmes.(cid:146)

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day
following its publication in the Official Journal of the European
Communities.

(3) Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 should therefore be

amended,

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly
applicable in all Member States.

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2001/C 175/10)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 11 June 2001 the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
1.
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1310/97 (2),
by which the undertaking Brambles plc (UK) and Brambles Ltd (Australia) acquire, within the meaning of
Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation, joint control of businesses previously solely owned by either party by way
of purchase of shares and assets. The operation will result in the creation of a single economic entity
having a dual-listed companies’ structure.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

(cid:151) Brambles plc: support services,

(cid:151) Brambles Ltd: support services, transport and logistics.

3.
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within
the scope of Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant
to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under
Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (3), it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under
the procedure set out in the notice.
