Whereas, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 6(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, all new planting of vines is prohibited until 31 August 2000; whereas, however, there is provision for Member States to grant authorisation for new vine plantings for the 1996/97 and/or 1997/98 and/or 1998/1999 wine years for areas intended for the production of:
- quality wines produced in specified regions (quality wines psr), and
- table wines designated as one of the following: 'Landwein`, 'vin de pays`, 'indicazione geografica tipica`, 'vino de la tierra`, 'vinho regional`, 'regional wine`, etc,
for which the Commission has recognised that production by reason of their qualitative characteristics, is far from able to satisfy demand;
