COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2060/83

of 25 July 1983

amending for the second time Regulation (EEC) No 3800/81 determining the classification of vine varieties

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 of 5 February 1979 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1595/83 (2), and in particular Article 31 (4) thereof,

Whereas the classification of vine varieties approved for cultivation in the Community was last determined by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3800/81 of 16 December 1981 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1469/82 (4);

Whereas the suitability for cultivation of certain wine grape varieties and one root stock variety has been examined and found to be satisfactory for certain German administrative units; whereas, in accordance with Article 11 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 347/79 of 5 February 1979 on general rules for the classification of vine varieties (5), the wine grape vine varieties in question should, for those administrative units be classified among the provisionally authorized vine varieties and the root stock variety should be included among the recommended vine varieties;

Whereas experience has shown that wine obtained from certain wine grape vine varieties and grapes obtained from a table grape vine variety listed for five years in the classification of authorized varieties for certain French administrative units may be regarded as normally being of good quality; whereas it is appropriate, therefore, to include this variety among the varieties recommended for the same administrative units in accordance with Article 11 (2) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 347/79;

Whereas the suitability for cultivation of certain wine grape vine varieties listed for at least five years as provisionally authorized for certain French administrative units has been found to be satisfactory, particularly as regards the Muscat de Hambourg N variety which enhances the taste of wine obtained from varieties which have little flavour; whereas, therefore, those varieties should be included among the vine varieties definitively authorized for the said administrative units in accordance with Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 347/79, the Member State concerned having adopted the provisions necessary to ensure that such classification will not undermine the accessory nature of the use of those vine varieties for wine-making purposes;

Whereas steps should be taken on this occasion to correct a substantive error appearing in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3800/81;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3800/81 is hereby amended in accordance with the provisions obtained in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply from 1 September 1983. However, the second indent of points II 11 (b) and III of the Annex shall apply from 1 September 1981 and 23 February 1983 respectively.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 25 July 1983.
