COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1598/83 of 14 June 1983 amending Regulation (EEC) No 458/80 on collective projects for the restructuring of vineyards
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 458/80 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2991/81 (5), introduced a common measure in certain vineyards producing table wines and in those suitable for the production of quality wines psr which takes the form of a premium granted for the restructuring of vineyards ; whereas the amount of the premium is identical regardless of whether the vineyards produce table wines or quality wines psr ; whereas there is no breakdown of surface area between the two categories of vineyard;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 458/80 must have an impact on the structural situation of vineyards producing table wines as well as on that of vineyards producing quality wines psr ; whereas priority must, however, be given to vineyards producing table wines ; whereas efforts must therefore be made to ensure that vineyards producing quality wines psr are not the main beneficiaries of the measure ; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 458/80 should accordingly be amended in order to introduce a breakdown between vineyards producing table wines and those producing quality wines psr;
Whereas there are special difficulties for certain vineyards situated in the Charentes region which are naturally suited to the production of table wine or quality wines psr,
