However, the natural or legal persons or groups of such persons referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) and producers who obtain, by vinification on their premises of products bought in, less than 10 hectolitres of wine which has not been or will not be marketed in any form whatsoever shall not be required to submit a production declaration.' 3.

However, in Member States where wine-growing areas are not broken down according to the categories of vineyard referred to in the first subparagraph, the yield per hectare to be entered in the harvest declaration shall be the average yield obtained on the holding of the declarant. 3. For the quantities of table wine for which the production declaration does not contain the information enabling the yield per hectare to be determined, it shall be assessed by the competent authority of the Member State and may in no event be less than the average yield for the region in which winemaking took place.
