Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88 of 24 May 1988 on the granting, for the 1988/89 to 1995/96 wine years, of permanent abandonment premiums in respect of wine-growing areas (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1990/93 (2), and  in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1990/93 has made technical adjustments to Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88; whereas detailed implementing rules should be laid down where appropriate, and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2729/88 (3), as last amended by Regulation  (EEC) No 2192/93 (4), should be amended accordingly;
Whereas all arrangements relating to the provisions repealed by the Council should be deleted, namely the preferential distillation scheme on the one hand and, on the other, the increases applied previously where abandonment involved the entire area  under vines; whereas certain specific provisions which no longer apply should also be deleted;

Whereas the conditions to be determined pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 9a (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88 regarding the grant of an additional premium for a parcel exchange, must specify in particular how the parcel exchange can  qualify for the additional premium and must indicate the demarcation of the wine-growing area to which the measure is applicable;
