Whereas pursuant to Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 all new plantings of wines are prohibited until 31 August 1996; whereas, however, that provision allows Member States for the 1990/91 wine year to authorize new plantings in the case of quality wines psr for which the Commission has recognized that production, because of their qualitative features, is far below demand;
