(2001/862/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2392/86 of 24
July 1986 establishing a Community vineyard register (1), as
last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1631/98 (2), and in partic-
ular Article 9(3) thereof,

After consulting the EAGGF Committee,

Whereas:

Article 9(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2392/86 states that
the Community is to contribute 50 % of the actual cost
of establishing the Community vineyard register in the
Member States and of the investment in data-processing
facilities needed to manage the register.

On the basis of Article 9(3) of that Regulation, advances
have been paid to France. They are to be deducted from
the total amount of the Community contribution.

Under Article 9(4) of that Regulation, Articles 8 and 9 of
Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 (3) apply to the
Community contribution to establishing the vineyard
register.

France has sent the Commission the documents needed
to decide on the amount to be defrayed as expenditure
incurred in establishing the register.

The Commission has carried out the checks provided for
in Article 9(2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/
70 (4) and Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999.

(6)

(7)

In the light of the checks carried out, some of the
expenditure declared by France does not meet the statu-
tory requirements and therefore may not be funded by
the Community.

A breakdown of the amounts to be defrayed and the
amounts to be excluded for failure to comply with
Community rules was sent to France on 25 October
2001,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Community contribution to the expenditure incurred by
France in establishing the Community vineyard register shall be
as set out in the table annexed to this Decision.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.

Done at Brussels, 30 November 2001.
