has, whether or not following application of the processes specified in point D of Annex V, an actual alcoholic strength by volume of not less than 8,5 % vol. provided the wine derives exclusively from grapes harvested in vine-growing zones A and B, and of not less than 9 % vol. in other vine-growing zones, and a total alcoholic strength by volume of not more than 15 % vol.;

However, in the case of wines from certain vine-growing areas to be determined which have been produced without any enrichment, the upper limit for the total alcoholic strength by volume may be raised to 20 % vol.

Wine-growing zone C I a) comprises the area under vines:

in Germany: the areas under vines other than those included in wine-growing zone B;

Whereas, in order to assess the Community wine market situation and developments therein, every 10 years basic statistical surveys covering the total areas under vines should be conducted in vine-growing holdings and, in between the basic surveys, smaller statistical surveys should be conducted only on the area under vines of wine grape varieties;

in Portugal, the areas under vines in the regions not included in wine-growing zone C I a).

"In Cyprus, wine-growing zone C III a) comprises the area under vines located at altitudes exceeding 600 metres",

In Italy, wine-growing zone C 1 b) comprises the areas under vines in the Valle d'Aosta region and in the provinces of Sondrio, Bolzano, Trento and Belluno.

to capitalise on and consolidate the improved market balance, and to better align supply on demand for different types of product, there should be a framework of measures on the management of wine-growing potential, to include restrictions on planting in the medium term, premiums for the permanent abandonment of wine-growing and support for the restructuring and conversion of vineyards;

The Member States concerned shall communicate to the Commission, for each wine-growing year and broken down by geographical units, estimates of the mean natural alcoholic strength by volume expressed as % vol or in ĹźOechsle of the fresh grapes, grape musts or wines, produced from the 1979/80 wine-growing year onwards in the areas under vines of wine grape varieties normally intended for the production of:

In Greece, wine-growing zone C III a) comprises the area under vines in the following nomoi: Florina, Imathia, Kilkis, Grevena, Larisa, Ioannina, Levkas, Achaca, Messinia, Arkadia, Korinthia, Iraklio, Khania, Rethimni, Samos, Lasithi and the island of Thira (Santorini).

Member States shall provide that, while growing and during lifting, or removal from the parent vine, packaging, storage and transportation, propagation material be kept in separate batches and be marked with the variety and, where applicable, in the case of original propagating materials, basic material and certified material, with the clone.";

Where climatic conditions have made it necessary in certain wine-growing zones of the Community, the Member States concerned may allow an increase in the natural alcoholic strength by volume of fresh grapes, grape must, grape must in fermentation, and new wine still in fermentation, obtained from the vine varieties referred to in Article 42(5), as well as of wine suitable for yielding table wine and table wine.

The name of an enterprise may be used, under the sixth indent of Annex VII(B)(1)(b) to Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, only where that enterprise is involved in commercial distribution of the product and has agreed to the use of its name. Where that enterprise is a wine-growing holding where the wine has been produced, the name of that enterprise may be used only if the wine has been made exclusively from grapes harvested from vines on that holding and the winemaking has been carried out on the holding.

Chapter II of Title II of Regulations (EC) No 1493/1999 provides for the granting of a premium in return for the permanent abandonment of vine growing on a particular area.

Experience has shown that the premium scheme for the permanent abandonment of vine growing on areas not exceeding 25 ares should be simplified in order to avoid an excessive administrative burden.

Member States shall communicate to the Commission any areas which they have designated in which the premium for the permanent abandonment of vine-growing may be granted and any conditions to which that designation is subject.

The age of the vines shall be calculated from the wine-growing year in which they were planted or grafted.

From the 1998/99 wine year, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, as regards wine obtained from grapes of varieties classified in a given administrative unit as both wine-grape varieties and varieties for the production of wine spirits, the Member States shall be authorised to allow producers who have received premiums from the 1997/98 wine year for the permanent abandonment of part of their vine-growing areas as provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 to maintain, for the five wine years following grubbing, the quantity normally produced at the level it stood at before grubbing.
