COUNCIL DECISION of 3 May 1989 on the granting, by certain Member States, of aid for the short-term private storage of table wine and must (89/311/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 93 (2) thereof,

Having regard to the requests submitted by the French Republic and the Italian Republic,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 76 of 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 1236/89 (2), Articles 92, 93 and 94 of the Treaty were made applicable to the production of, and trade in, wine and must;

Whereas, by Decision 88/415/EEC (3), the Council decided that national aid for the short-term private storage of table wines and must granted by certain Member States was to be regarded as compatible with the common market for the 1988/89 wine marketing year;

Whereas, having regard to the heavy surpluses on the market in table wines and must, this national aid contributes, at the start of the wine marketing year, to the same objectives of rationalizing the said market as the measures to stabilize the market applied at Community level;

Whereas, in order to avoid too abrupt a transfer to an arrangement which excludes all national aid for short-term

private storage, it is essential to provide for the payment of this aid to continue in certain Member States, while limiting the period during which it may be granted;

Whereas exceptional circumstances thus continue to prevail, giving grounds for regarding the said aid as compatible with the common market for the 1989/90 wine marketing year until 15 December 1989,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1 National aid for the short-term private storage of table wine and must granted in France and Italy shall be deemed compatible with the common market for the 1989/90 wine marketing year until 15 December 1989.

Article 2 This Decision is addressed to the French Republic and the Italian Republic.

(89/548/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation (1), signed in Brussels on 22 July 1972, does not provide for the prohibition of quantitative restrictions affecting exports and measures having equivalent effect;

Whereas it is in the interest of the European Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation to promote the free circulation of raw materials and goods by abolishing any such restrictions and measures and by preventing the creation of new restrictions or measures affecting their mutual trade;

Whereas it is necessary both to make arrangements for a phased abolition of current restrictions affecting certain products or measures having equivalent effect and to provide for safeguard measures in the event either of re-export towards third countries against which the exporting Contracting Party maintains restrictions or measures having equivalent effect or in the event of serious shortage of a particular product;

Whereas under Article 32 (1) of the Agreement, the Contracting Parties may, in the interest of their economies, develop the relations established by the Agreement by extending it to fields not covered thereby;

Whereas the Commission has held negotiations with the Swiss Confederation, which have resulted in a Protocol,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The Supplementary Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation concerning the elimination of existing and prevention of new quantitative restrictions affecting exports or measures having equivalent effect is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.

Whereas this authorization was granted on a temporary basis for a period expiring on 31 December 1986, but subject to a possible extension, pending the definition of a Community certification scheme for fruit-plant propagating material;

Whereas the Community certification scheme has not yet been defined; whereas the other circumstances which justified this authorization have not changed;

Whereas therefore the authorization should be extended for a further period;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,

Article 1

In Article 2 of Decision 84/248/EEC, '31 December 1988' is hereby replaced by '31 December 1989'.
