COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1944/82

of 19 July 1982

amending Regulation (EEC) No 773/82 on detailed rules governing the distillation of table wine as referred to in Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79

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 last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3577/81 (2), and in particular Article 15 (3) thereof,

Whereas Article 1 (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 773/82 (3) requires certain distillation operations to be completed by 31 August 1982 and Article 7 (1) of that Regulation requires fortification of wine for distillation to be completed by 15 July 1982;

Whereas many distilleries will be unable to cope with the quantities of wine to be distilled and it will not therefore be possible for the deadline to be met; whereas, in order for the object of the measure to be attained, the deadline for distillation operations should be deferred to 30 November 1982; whereas, for the same reason, the deadline for fortification of wine for distillation should be deferred to 15 October 1982 and the deadline for distillation of wine fortified for distillation fixed in the same Regulation should be altered accordingly;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
