COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2519/84

of 30 August 1984

on the application of the additional measures applicable to holders of long-term storage contracts for certain table wines for the 1983/84 wine-growing year

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 1208/84 (2), and in particular Article 12a (5) thereof,

Whereas the measures to support the wine market which were employed during the 1983/84 winegrowing year have not in all cases given the desired results; whereas Article 2 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2463/84 of 20 August 1984 laying down detailed rules for the application of the additional measures applicable to holders of long-term storage contracts for table wine for the 1983/84 wine-growing year (3) provides that the period of three consecutive weeks referred to in Article 12a (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 must fall between 15 July and 30 November; whereas since 15 July the representative prices for table wines of type A I, A II, A III, R I and R II have remained lower than the activating price for three consecutive weeks; whereas the conditions laid down in Article 12a (1) are thus satisfied;

Whereas Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2463/84 provides for the fixing of the quantity of wine under storage contract which may be distilled and the duration of any storage contracts; whereas, having regard to the market situation as indicated by the harvest forecasts and the levels of stocks at the end of the wine-growing year, the said quantity should be fixed at the maximum level laid down in Article 12a (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79, and the said duration at four months;

Whereas the Management Committee for Wine has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Holders of long-term storage contracts for table wine other than table wine of type R III may, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2463/84:

- in respect of all or part of the table wine under contract in excess of 18 % of their total table wine production in the 1983/84 wine year, conclude one or more storage contracts for a period of four months.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 16 September 1984.
