Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Whereas the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2547/79 (3), contains a list of the products in respect of which refunds may be granted ; whereas in that list red table wines of type R III are excluded from the benefit of refunds ; whereas, on account of their close economic relationship with red table wines of type R III and in order to avoid difficulties of interpretation, rosé table wines from vine varieties of the "Portugieser" type should be expressly excluded from the benefit of refunds ; whereas it is therefore necessary to amend the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2547/79;

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