Whereas in certain cases the restructuring of vineyards necessitates prior reparcelling operations the cost of which is often beyond the means of the growers; whereas provision should therefore be made for the Member States to grant national aid for reparcelling operations with respect to either quality wines psr or to table wines; Whereas, to be eligible for Community financing, projects must contribute in particular to a lasting improvement in working conditions on holdings, guarante€ production of good quality wines and be economically justified; Whereas, to ensure consistency of action by the Community and by the Member States, the projects to be financed by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Fund’, should be approved and part- financed by the Member State concerned; Whereas, to ensure that the recipients observe the conditions on which aid is granted from the Fund, an effective control system should be set up and provision made for suspension, reduction or termi- nation of aid from the Fund; Whereas administration of the abovementioned measure may be facilitated by granting a standard premium per restructured hectare; Whereas such a measure serves the interest of the Community and is designed to fulfil the objectives laid down in Article 39 (1) (a) of the Treaty; whereas it therefore constitutes a common measure within the meaning of Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (*), as last amended by Regulaton (EEC) No 929/79 (%); Whereas aid from the Fund in the form of reimbursement of 30 % of the standard premium () O] No L 94, 28. 4. 1970, p. 13.
