COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2862/83

of 13 October 1983

amending for the second time Regulation (EEC) No 2290/82 and amending for the fourth time Regulation (EEC) No 546/83

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 1595/83 (2), and in particular Articles 12a (5), 15 (9) and 65 thereof,

Whereas in view of the volume of products to be distilled in deadlines for distillation laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2290/82 of 19 August 1982 laying down detailed rules for the application of the additional measures applicable to holders of long-term storage contracts for table wine for the 1981/82 wine-growing year (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1953/83 (4), have already been postponed by one month by the latter Regulation; whereas that postponement was insufficient and, in order to fulfil their commitments, some distilleries have had to continue operations involving large quantities beyond the time limits set;

Whereas this situation is likely to repeat itself in the case of the distillation provided for in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 546/83 of 9 March 1983 laying down provisions for distillation of table wine pursuant to Article 15 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2090/83 (6);

Whereas, to enable these measures to perform their role of rationalizing the market, the time limits laid down should be put back and some other dates set in Regulations (EEC) No 2290/82 and (EEC) No 546/83 respectively should be adjusted 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:
