Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee on the "Proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine"

Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee on the ‘Proposal for a Council Regulation
amending Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine’

(2001/C 311/14)

On 2 July 2001 the Council decided to consult the Economic and Social Committee, under Article 37 of
the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the above-mentioned proposal.

The Economic and Social Committee decided to appoint Mr Kienle as rapporteur-general for this opinion.

At its 384th plenary session of 12 and 13 September 2001 (meeting of 12 September), the Economic
and Social Committee unanimously adopted the following opinion.

1.

Introduction

for under the new market organisation. No additional costs
are involved for the Community budget.

1.1.
The Commission proposal stresses the need to encour-
age ‘generational replacement’ in the agricultural sector — and
in the wine sector in particular.

2. Comments

The Commission points out that,

1.2.
in a number of
Member States, young farmers are already encouraged to set
up as winegrowers by awarding them new planting rights and
giving them the option to take part in vineyard restructuring
and conversion plans.

1.3.
In order to ensure a smooth transition from earlier
arrangements to the new wine CMO, the Commission is now
proposing a temporary derogation, under which new planting
rights may be awarded to young winegrowers and incorporated
into the restructuring aid for material improvement plans. This
derogation is to apply until such time as the support measures
can be implemented through the system of reserves provided

2.1.
The Economic and Social Committee emphatically
endorses the aims of the proposal for a Regulation and the
two amendments to Article 11(3) and the second subparagraph
of Article 15, point (b), of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999.

2.2.
In this connection, the Economic and Social Com-
mittee would refer to its opinion on prospects for young
farmers, which is currently in the pipeline. At an ESC public
hearing attended by the rapporteurs from the European
Parliament, the Committee of the Regions and the Economic
and Social Committee, and a delegation from the European
Council of Young Farmers (ECYF), a particularly strong call
was made for cutting young farmers’ start-up costs, especially
in the acquisition of production rights.

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 5 September 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 Degussa AG, belonging to the E.ON group, and Ausimont SpA, belonging to the
Montedison group, acquire, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation, joint control of the
undertaking MedAvox Srl by way of purchase of shares in a newly created company constituting a joint
venture.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

(cid:151) Degussa: holding company for a group active in development, production and distribution of all kinds

of chemical products,

(cid:151) Ausimont: development, production and distribution of fluorinated materials and peroxygen products,

(cid:151) MedAvox Srl: production and distribution of perborate and percarbonate.

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 Council
Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (3), it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the

Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee on the ‘Proposal for a Council Regulation
amending Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 on the common organisation of the market in rice’

(2001/C 311/06)

On 17 May 2001, the Council decided to consult the Economic and Social Committee, under Article 37
of the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the above-mentioned proposal.

The Section for Agriculture, Rural Development and the Environment, which was responsible for
preparing the Committee’s work on the subject, adopted its opinion on 19 July 2001. The rapporteur
was Mrs Santiago.

At its 384th plenary session on 12 and 13 September 2001 (meeting of 12 September) the Economic
and Social Committee adopted the following opinion by 97 votes in favour, no votes against and
1 abstention.

1.
As a result of the Uruguay Round negotiations, the
common organisation of the market in rice was amended in
1995 by Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 which intro-
duced a production-based payment system for rice; these
payments were granted per hectare and were designed to
compensate for the fall in institutional prices required by this
same regulation.

The date set at that time for paying out these com-
and

between 16 October

payments was

1.1.
pensatory
31 December.

In

(EC)
1.2.
No 1593/2000 of 17 July 2000 brought rice cultivation

into the integrated administration and control system for
certain Community aid schemes. Since the date set for the
payment of compensatory aid for arable crops was between
16 November and 31 January, it is now necessary to align
the dates for compensatory payments for the different types
of crop.

The present Commission proposal stipulates that the
2.
payment period for compensatory aid for rice is to be changed
so as to run from 16 November until 31 January.

The Economic and Social Committee endorses this

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12
October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the
common fisheries policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC)

Community vessels, in waters where limitations in catch
are required (3), as last amended by Commission Regula-
tion (EC) No 1666/2001 (4),
