Whereas, to avoid unjustified expenditure, cumu- lation of these premiums with other premiums provided for in Community legislation should be prohibited; Whereas the incentive for the abandonment of areas under vines should be so devised as to reduce the quantities of poor quality wine on the market; whereas it is therefore necessary to restrict the temporary abandonment premium to certain vinc varieties the cultivation of which is undesirable and which are planted in category 2 areas and to all vine varieties planted in category 3 areas; Whereas, in order to encourage producers to abandon temporarily or, where appropriate, permanently areas under vines in the near future and thereby hasten the restoration of the market balance, a time limit should be laid down for the grant of the abandonment premiums, in particular with regard to certain specific areas under vines; Whereas, to  ensure proper  administrative management of the abandonment premiums, time limits should be fixed for the lodging of applications and conditions laid down for recipients; whereas, in order to achieve lasting results, recipients of the temporary abandonment premium and recipients of the permanent abandonment premium should be required not to increase the areas on which they grow vines for eight and 15 wine-growing years respectively; Whereas the amount of the temporary abandonment premium must be set at a level which takes account of the cost of grubbing and, to some extent, of the prospective loss of income; whereas the amounts fixed for this premium should therefore be differen- tiated according to the productivity of the areas under vines in question; whereas, since the permanent abandonment premium relates to areas where grubbing already took place in exchange for the temporary abandonment premium or to specific areas under vines, its amount should be fixed at the same level; Whereas the encouragement to renounce replanting rights the exercise of which was suspended until 29 February 1980 under Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 348/79 of 5 February 1979 on measures
