       When Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1162/ 76 of 17 May 1976 on meaBures
designed to adjust wine-growing potential to market requirements was applied ,
it became apparent that in certain Member States the temporary prohibition on
new plantings was at variance with plantings effected under official reparcelling
measures aimed at making wine-growing more profitable . Allowance should in particular
be made for reparcelling measures commenced before the entry into force of the
said Regulation . The proposed Regulation is intended to exempt from the prohibition
on new plantings those plantings which are effected under offioial reparcelling
measures . The adoption of the proposed Regulation does not in any way affect the
Community budget .

        With a view to a more effective contribution to the restoration of
equilibrium be -i ween production and market requirements , the conversion premium
provided for b; Regulation ( EEC ) No IX63/T6 should be extended to vines under
glass and provision made to extend the period for lodging applications for the
grant of the premium . Further , it has proved necessary to lay dovm a rule
making it possible not to refuse to grant a premium if the area for which
thei premium is requested consists of several vine varieties one or mora of
which do not qualify for the premium .

THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Eoonomio Community,
and in particular Article 43 thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament ,
 Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee ,
Whereas Council Regulation ( EEC) No 1163/76 of 17 May 1976 ( l ), as amended "by-
 Regulation ( EEC ) No 2428/76 ( 2 ), provides for the granting of a conversion premium_
 in the wine Bectorj whereas Article 2 ( 2 ) thereof provides that premiums
may not be granted for areas of less than 25 ares , thereby excluding most vines
under glassj whereas , since the conversion of table grape varieties grown tinder
glass should be encouraged ,                      , provision should be made for the conversion
of such varieties to           ' qualify for the premiumj whereas , however , in such
 oases it is necessary to ensure that the greenhouse is destroyed to prevent the
continual cultivation, of non-profitable varieties ;
Whereas, in__the case of areas for conversion "containing several vine varieties ,
0«rt*in          -of which do not qualify for ■ilue premium , the conditions under which
the premium may be granted for the area as a whole should be laid downj
Whereas to enable , where necessary ,        -__L    ;    ? the period for lodging applications
 for the premium to be extended , provision should, be made so that the time-limit for        ,
lodging such applications can be changed ,
