COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1992/80 of 22 July 1980 amending Regulation (EEC) No 357/79 on statistical surveys of areas under vines

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),

Whereas Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 357/79 (3) provides that the Member States concerned shall carry out every 10 years basic surveys on the area under vines and annually intermediate surveys ; whereas as a result of difficulties which could not have been foreseen it will not be possible to complete the first basic survey on areas under vines in Italy within the prescribed period ; whereas it is therefore advisable to allow this Member State to postpone for one year the dates by which this survey must be completed and the results forwarded to the Commission;

Whereas Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 357/79 provides that during the intermediate surveys of areas under vines cultivated with wine grape varieties the Member States concerned are required to compile only general data on areas which have been planted or replanted ; whereas the Council has subsequently adopted provisions concerning the right to replant, which makes it necessary to record changes separately as new plantings or replantings,
