amending Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88 on the granting for the 1988/89 to 1995/96 wine  years, of permanent abandonment premiums in respect of wine-growing areas and repealing Regulation  (EEC) No 2239/86 on a specific common measure to improve wine-growing structures in Portugal
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, in particular 43  thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament  (1),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88  (2), does not at present apply in Portugal;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2239/86  (3) provides for measures for the permanent abandonment and  restructuring of wine-growing areas;
Whereas the system of premiums for the permanent abandonment of wine-growing applicable in the  other Member States has been transferred to the Guarantee Section of the EAGGF by Regulation (EEC)  No 1327/91  (4) and the level of Community funding has been fixed at 100  %;
Whereas, in accordance with the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, the provision concerning  the common organization of the market in wine apply in Portugal from the second stage of  transition; whereas the general permanent abandonment arrangements should also be made applicable  in that Member State and the amounts of the premiums currently applicable should be retained in  order to take account of the specific structural situation;
Whereas on 7 August 1991, the Commission approved the operational programme for the restructuring  of wine-growing areas submitted by Portugal and intended to replace the restructuring arrangements  laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 2239/86;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88 should therefore be amended and Regulation (EEC) No 2239/86  should be repealed; whereas the latter Regulation will continue to apply, however, to undertakings  entered into by Portugal under that Regulation,
