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
wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003 (2),
and in particular Article 7(2) and Articles 15 and 23 thereof,

Whereas:

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 (3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1203/2003 (4), fixed the
deadline for the period referred to in Article 2(3)(b) of
Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 during which a producer
may obtain replanting rights after the area concerned
has been planted. Since the date for applying the proce-
dure provided for in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No
1493/1999 has been postponed, the abovementioned
deadline should also be extended accordingly.

So that the allocations provided for in Article 14(1) and
(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 can be determined
effectively, the date by which the Member States must
make their annual notifications to the Commission
should be amended and the date to be used for the
purposes of determining
actually
