COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2472/91 of 12 August 1991 fixing the regulatory amounts applicable in 1991/92 to imports of certain wine-sector products from Spain into the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 123 (2) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 480/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down general rules of application of the regulatory amounts applicable to trade in certain wine sector products between the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 and Spain (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,

Whereas, in the light of the rules laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 480/86, the regulatory amounts should be fixed by reference to the prices recorded on the Spanish market and on the market of the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985;

Whereas Article 123 (2) (a) of the Act of Accession stipulates that a regulatory amount is to be levied on table wine; whereas, for the purposes of applying that common measure, the table wines considered to be in a close economic relationship with each type of table wine should be determined;

Whereas the conditions laid down in Article 123 (2) (b) of the Act of Accession are not met; whereas the fixing of regulatory amounts applicable to wine-sector products other than table wine is therefore not warranted;

Whereas it should be made clear that the codes used for the regulatory amounts are those of the combined nomenclature as defined in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2242/91 (3); whereas the additional codes are defined in the tables in the Appendix to the Annex hereto and whereas the table numbers relate to the chapter indicated in the first two figures of the combined nomenclature codes;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the 1991/92 wine year, the regulatory amounts provided for in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 480/86 are fixed in the Annex hereto for the products indicated therein.

Article 2

For the purposes of this Regulation, the following shall be considered to be in a close economic relationship with table wine of type A I: white table wines which are not of type A I, A II or A III.

The regulatory amounts applicable thereto shall be those laid down for the particular type of table wine with which they are in a close economic relationship.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply from 1 September 1991. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
