COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2329/92 of 31 July 1992 amending for the fourteenth time Regulation (EEC) No 646/86 fixing the export refunds on wine

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1756/92 (2), and in particular Article 56 (4) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 646/86 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2375/91 (4), fixes the export refunds on wine;

Whereas, pursuant to Article 70 of the Act of Accession, the guide prices for Spanish table wine are to be fixed from the 1992/93 wine year at the same level as the common prices and whereas, as a consequence, refunds in Spain should no longer be different from those applicable in the rest of the Community;

Whereas export refunds are granted on wine as referred to in Article 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 in excess of the quantities normally producer as determined pursuant to that Article; whereas the granting of a refund gives such wine an advantage over table wine in competition on the world market; whereas, in order to safeguard outlets for table wine, wine as referred to in Article 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 should not qualify for export refunds;

Whereas, pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 646/86, refunds for the former Yugoslavia are not to be granted after 31 August 1992; whereas prospects shall exist for the disposal of table wine on certain markets in the former Yugoslavia; whereas the possibility of granting refunds for those markets after that date should be maintained;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 646/86 is hereby replaced by the Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 September 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
