These difficulties concern, in particular, the date from which the procedure in question is to commence. Applying the various provisions regarding the grant of the derogation imposes a serious and complex administrative burden, particularly as regards checks and penalties.\n(2)\nTo overcome these difficulties, the provisions on the regularisation of illegal plantation need to be amended. Pending the submission of an appropriate proposal to the Council and in the interests of sound administration, the date for the closure of the procedure laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 should therefore be postponed definitively to 31 December 2007.\n(3)\nRegulation (EC) No 1227/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(4)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
