THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88 of 24 May 1988 on the granting, for the 1988/89 to 1995/96 wine years, of permanent abandonment premiums in respect of wine-growing areas (1), and in particular Article 12 (1) thereof,

Whereas before 1 April 1989 Greece submitted a reasoned application pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2729/88 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 678/89 (3), for exclusion from the scope of the measures provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88 from the 1989/90 wine year;

Whereas, in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1314/89 (4), some of the regions and designations in the Greek application were omitted from the Annex thereto; whereas those regions form part of areas the wine-growing potential of which is less than 10 % of the national wine-growing potential; whereas those data should be added to the Annex; whereas, however, to take account of the special situation of producers who have already submitted an application for the areas concerned and have taken all the necessary measures, transitional provisions should be adopted for processing such applications;

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