9.4.2015 Official Journal of the European Union L 93/1 II (Non-legislative acts) REGULATIONS COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2015/560 of 15 December 2014 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the scheme of authorisations for vine plantings THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (!), and in particular Article 69 thereof, Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 352/78, (EC) No 165/94, (EC) No 2799/98, (EC) No 814/2000, (EC) No 1290/2005 and (EC) No 485/2008 (3, and in particular Article 64(6) thereof, Whereas: (1)  Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 contains in Chapter III of Title I of Part II rules on a scheme of authorisations for vine plantings which repeal and replace the transitional planting rights regime set out in Subsection II of Section IVa of Chapter IIT of Title I of Part II of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (*) as from 1 January 2016. This Chapter lays down rules concerning duration, management and control of the scheme of authori- sations for vine plantings and empowers the Commission to adopt delegated acts concerning the management of the scheme. The transitional planting rights regime set out in Subsection II of Section IVa of Chapter III of Title I of Part II of Regulation (EC) No 12342007 remains applicable until 31 December 2015 in accordance with Article 230(1)(b)(ii) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. (2)  Article 62 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 lays down the general requirement for the Member States to grant an authorisation for vine planting upon submission of an application by producers intending to plant or replant vines. However, paragraph 4 of that Article provides that certain areas are exempted from the scheme of authori- sations for vine plantings and therefore from this general requirement. It is necessary to lay down rules concerning the conditions of application of that exemption. The areas intended for experimental purposes or for graft nurseries should only be used for the specified purposes in order to avoid the circumvention of the new scheme, and grapevine products made from such areas should not be marketed unless Member States consider there are no risks of market disturbance. Existing wine-growing experiments and graft nurseries should be allowed to continue, subject to the existing rules in order to ensure a smooth transition between the plantings () OJL347,20.12.2013,p. 671.
