amending Regulation (EEC) No 2373/83 laying down, for the 1983/84 wine-growing year, detailed implementing rules concerning the distillation provided for in Article 11 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 1595/83 (2), and in particular Articles 11 (5) and 65 thereof,

Whereas Articles 3 and 9 (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2373/83 (3) provide that distillation operations under Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 are to be completed by 30 June 1984 in he case of wine and 31 July 1984 in the case of fortified wine;

Whereas, in view of the foreseeable size of the volume of wine to be distilled in some parts of the Community, a large number of distillers will be unable to meet the stated deadlines; whereas these deadlines should be put back and a number of other dates fixed in the same Regulation should be altered in consequence if the scheme is to have its full impact;

Whereas postponement of these deadlines does not in any way affect the time limit within which, under Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2372/83, contracts concluded must be submitted to intervention agencies;
