THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/77 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1441/88 (2), and in particular Article 6 (4) thereof,
Whereas under Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 all new plantings of vines are prohibited until 31 August 1990; whereas, however, that provision allows Member States to grant authorizations for 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;
Whereas requests to apply that provision to certain quality wines psr were submitted by the Spanish Government on 29 January 1988, the Italian Government on 20 June 1988 and the French Government on 7 April 1988;
Whereas scrutiny of those requests shows that the quality wines psr concerned meet the requirements applicable provided that, for all quality wines psr produced in the same region, the increase in the areas intended for their production does not exceed the limits laid down by the Spanish, Italian or French Governments, respectively;
Whereas the Management Committee for Wine has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
