of 28 March 2003

amending Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council
Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine, as regards
production potential

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17
May 1999 on the common organisation of the market
in
wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2585/2001 (2),
and in particular Article 80 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In order to resolve a particular practical problem, the
time limit laid down in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC)
No 1493/1999 for derogating from Article 2(2) should
be amended. Applying the various provisions regarding
the grant of
the derogation imposes a serious and
complex administrative burden, particularly as regards
checks and penalties. In the interests of sound adminis-
tration, the date in question should thus be postponed
to 31 July 2003.

(2)

(3)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 (3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 315/2003 (4), should
therefore be amended accordingly.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Wine,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Article 2(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 is hereby
replaced by the following:

This Regulation shall enter

events of this kind,

Can the Commission say:

1. whether the municipality of Perugia has submitted projects to benefit from funding under the 2000

City Twinning Programme?

2. whether the municipality of Perugia has secured funding for these projects?

3. whether this funding has been used?

Twinning is funded centrally.

The grants are awarded by the Commission on the basis of projects presented by local authorities or
twinning committees.

The grants are not paid until after the event, following submission of supporting documents.

The participation of local authorities in town-twinning activities is arranged via the publication of an
annual call for proposals in the Official Journal of the European Union.

With regard to the Honourable Member’s questions (cid:1) the municipalities of: Fiumicino (E-0886), Frosinone
(E-0864), Ancona (E-1017), Florence (E-1019), Livorno (E-1020), Macerata (E-1021), Perugia (E-1023),

for the organisation of twinning events in 2000.

The municipalities of Carrara (E-1018) (cid:1) Massa (E-1022) (cid:1) Prato (E-1027) received funding for twinning
in 2000. These funds were used.
