Having regard to the requests submitted by the French Republic,
Whereas in France the production of swede rape seed satisfying the requirements of Directive 69/208/EEC has been insufficient in 1992 and therefore is not adequate to meet that country's needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas France should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 15 June 1993, the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species of varieties which are included neither in the common catalogue of agricultural plant species nor in the  Member States' national catalogues of varieties;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States, which are able to supply France with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the said Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed provided it is intended for France;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The French Republic is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 15 June 1993, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 10 tonnes of swede rape seed (Brassica napus L. partim) of varieties rich in erucic acid and low content of  glucosinolate, which are included neither in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species nor in the Member States' national catalogues of varieties.
The official label shall state: 'Intended exclusively for France'.
The other Member States are hereby authorized to permit, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1, the marketing in their territory of a maximum of 10 tonnes of swede rape seed of varieties rich in erucic acid and low content of  glucosinolate provided that it is intended exclusively for France.

amending Regulation (EC) No 2729/2000 laying down detailed implementing rules on controls in the wine sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 72(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 5(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2729/2000 (2) plots which are the subject of an application for aid for permanent abandonment are to be systematically verified on the spot.
(2) Under Article 8(1)(b) and (e) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 of 31 May 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine, as regards production potential (3), the application procedure for the permanent abandonment premium to be laid down by the Member States must provide for subsequent verification of the existence of the vines concerned, of the area concerned and of its average yield or production capacity, and verification that grubbing-up has taken place.
(3) Since developments in remote-sensing technology have made it a reliable tool, those Member States who wish to do so should be given the option of using it provided that this maintains the level of verification.
(4) To verify the existence of the vines concerned, of the area concerned and of its average yield or production capacity, an on-the-spot check is indispensable as these factors cannot be verified through remote sensing.
(5) However, remote sensing can be used to verify that vines have actually been grubbed up and therefore its use should be permitted for this stage of control.
(6) In view of the difficulties in calculating area through remote sensing, this method should be authorised only in cases of abandonment of entire vineyard parcels.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 2729/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
In Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2729/2000 the following third subparagraph is added:
‘Verification that grubbing-up has actually taken place as provided for in Article 8(1)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 may be carried out by remote sensing, in the case of abandonment of the entire vineyard parcel.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
