THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

. . . 1 Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament ,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 22 of the Act of Accession of Greece certain adjustments required by that Accession must be made to Council Regulation (EEC) No 357/79 of 5 February 1979 on statistical surveys of areas under vines , as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1992/80^, in accordance with the guidelines given in Annex II to that Act; ■

Whereas Article 1(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 357/79 provides that the Member States concerned shall carry out every ten years basic surveys on the area under vines and annually intermediate surveys; whereas as a result of difficulties which could not have been foreseen it was not possible to complete the first . basic survey on the area under vines in one Member State within the prescribed period; whereas it was therefore decided To grant an extension of the agreed ^ period of one year to this Member State; whereas this extension has proved insufficient because of further complications of a legislative nature; whereas it is therefore advisable to allow this Member State to postpone for a further year the dates by which this survey must be completed and the results forwarded to the Commission; •

Whereas it is desirable that the Community should bear part of the expenditure incurred by Greece for the first basic survey conducted by this Member State,
