COUNCIL DECISION
of 17 April 1989
making an exception to the reference periods for the 1989 basic surveys of areas under vines for France and Italy provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 357/79
(89/287/EEC)
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 Council Regulation (EEC) No 357/79 of 5 February 1979 on statistical surveys of areas under vines (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 490/86 (4), provides for the Member States concerned to carry out basic surveys of areas under vines every 10 years;
Whereas, however, the practical carrying-out of this operation calls for, in two Member States, special provisions linked to the realization of other statistical operations, in particular the Community survey on the structure of agricultural holdings, as provided by Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 807/89 (6);
Whereas it is necessary to make the results of basic surveys of areas under vines available quickly, particularly with a view to monitoring the application of restructuring measures in the wine sector,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
