THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 of 5 February 1979 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1303/79 (2), and in particular Articles 8 (3) and 9 (5) thereof,

Whereas Article 11a of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2015/76 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2278/79 (4), lays down the conditions under which long-term storage contracts for concentrated grape must may be cancelled;

Whereas the crop from the 1978/79 marketing year is relatively early ; whereas consequently, enrichment of crops, where it is necessary, must be carried out before most of the long-term storage contracts for concentrated grape must have expired ; whereas it is therefore advisable to open the possibility of terminating the contracts referred to in Article 11a of the said Regulation;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

1. The possibility of terminating long-term storage contracts for concentrated grape must, as referred to in Article 11a of Regulation (EEC) No 2015/76, is hereby opened.
