Article 66
Replantings
1. Member States shall automatically grant an authorisation to producers who have grubbed up an area planted with vines as from 1 January 2016 and submitted an application. Such authorisation shall correspond to the equivalent of that area in terms of pure crop. The areas covered by such authorisations shall not be counted for the purposes of Article 63.
2. Member States may grant the authorisation referred to in paragraph 1 to producers undertaking to grub up an area planted with vines if the grubbing up of the pledged area is carried out at the latest by the end of the fourth year from the date on which new vines have been planted.
3. The authorisation referred to in paragraph 1 shall be used on the same holding on which the grubbing up was undertaken. Member States may, in areas eligible for the production of wines with protected designations of origin or protected geographical indications, restrict the replanting, on the basis of a recommendation from a professional organisation in accordance with Article 65, to vines complying with the same protected designation of origin or geographical indication specification as the area grubbed up.
4. This Article shall not apply in the case of grubbing up of non-authorised plantings.

Article 66
Replantings
1. Member States shall automatically grant an authorisation to producers who have grubbed up an area planted with vines as from 1 January 2016 and submitted an application. Such authorisation shall correspond to the equivalent of that area in terms of pure crop. The areas covered by such authorisations shall not be counted for the purposes of Article 63.
By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, producers who have grubbed up an area planted with vines in accordance with Article 216(1) of this Regulation or Article 58(1), first subparagraph, point (o), of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 shall not be entitled to apply for and to receive a replanting authorisation for that area.
2. Member States may grant the authorisation referred to in paragraph 1 to producers undertaking to grub up an area planted with vines if the grubbing up of the pledged area is carried out at the latest by the end of the fourth year from the date on which new vines have been planted.
3. The authorisation referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article shall be used on the same holding on which the grubbing up was undertaken. Member States may, on the basis of a recommendation from a recognised professional organisation referred to in Articles 152, 156 and 157 of this Regulation or a producer group referred to in Articles 32 and 33 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1143, restrict in areas eligible for the production of wines with protected designation of origin or protected geographical indications the use of replanting authorisations resulting from the grubbing up of vineyards outside that area.
3a. A Member State may make its granting of the replanting authorisations referred to in paragraph 1 subject to one or more of the following conditions:
(a) the authorisation shall be used in the same geographical area, defined by the Member State, in which the relevant grubbed up vines were located, where maintaining viticulture in that geographical area is justified by socio-economic or environmental reasons;
(b) only vines producing specific types of wine and production methods not identified by the Member State as significantly increasing the average yield of the production region, or only production methods traditional to that region shall be used where the relevant grubbed up area is located in a production region that the Member State has qualified as affected by a structural market imbalance;
(c) the authorisation shall not be used in a different production region from the one in which the grubbed up area is located where the Member State has qualified that different production region as affected by a structural market imbalance;
(d) Member States may set criteria for the allocation and management of replanting authorisations in order to avoid increasing vineyard areas and wine production in regions prone to oversupply in which crisis measures have been applied, as well as in order to take account of market developments, in accordance with their national or regional sectorial strategies.
The conditions referred to in points (b), (c) and (d) of the second subparagraph shall not apply to replanting authorisations in areas characterised by the exceptional difficulty of cultivation due to structural and morphological factors referred to in Part D of Annex II to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/273
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/273 of 11 December 2017 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the scheme of authorisations for vine plantings, the vineyard register, accompanying documents and certification, the inward and outward register, compulsory declarations, notifications and publication of notified information, and supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the relevant checks and penalties, amending Commission Regulations (EC) No 555/2008, (EC) No 606/2009 and (EC) No 607/2009 and repealing Commission Regulation (EC) No 436/2009 and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/560 (OJ L 58, 28.2.2018, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_del/2018/273/oj)..
