In order to better take into account recent trends in the wine sector, Member States should have the flexibility to set regional limits on the issuing of new planting authorisations for specific areas that are as low as 0 %, with a view to managing the production potential. Where a Member State decides to set such regional limits for specific areas to avoid an excessive increase in production potential, it is appropriate to allow that Member State to require that the authorisations granted for the area concerned by the regional limit be used in that area.
