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

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.

affect yields. In the case of sultanas an additional differ-

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 Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/
96 as regards the aid for the cultivation of grapes to
produce certain varieties of dried grapes (3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1880/2001 (4).

tions provided for in Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No
