COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1467/87

of 27 May 1987

amending for the seventh 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 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1390/87 (2), and in particular Article 13 (5) thereof,

Whereas the classification of vine varieties approved for cultivation in the Community was determined by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3800/81 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 416/87 (4);

Whereas experience has shown that wine obtained from a wine grape vine variety listed for five years in the category of temporarily authorized varieties for certain German administrative units may be regarded as normally being of good quality; whereas it is therefore appropriate to include this variety among the varieties recommended for the same administrative units in accordance with the second indent of Article 11 (2) (a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 347/79 of 5 February 1979 on general rules for the classification of vine varieties (5), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece;

Whereas the classification of wine grape vine varieties should now include, among the varieties recommended for certain German administrative units, certain varieties which have been listed for at least five years in the category for an administrative unit immediately bordering thereon and which therefore satisfy the condition laid down in the first indent of Article 11 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 347/79;

Whereas the classification should now also include a wine grape vine variety which has been examined and found to be satisfactory for cultivation; whereas, in accordance with Article 11 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 347/79, this variety may be authorized on a provisional basis for a German administrative unit;

Whereas the suitability for cultivation of certain wine grape vine varieties which have been listed for at lest five years in the category of varieties temporarily authorized for certain German administrative units has been recognized as satisfactory; whereas those varieties should therefore be definitively included among the vine varieties authorized for the same administrative units in accordance with Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 347/79;

Whereas the suitability for cultivation of one recommended vine variety in one German administrative unit is not satisfactory; whereas that variety should therefore be deleted from the classification in accordance with Article 11 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 347/79;

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 Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

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

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

Done at Brussels, 27 May 1987.
