THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2580/2000(2), in particular Article 7(2) thereof,

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1315/2002

of 19 July 2002

amending Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2585/2001(2), and in particular Article 33 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Article 63 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 420/2002(4), lays down delivery dates among the other detailed rules on distillery deliveries.

(2) In Portugal, when the intervention agency takes over alcohol produced from various distillations, the distillers deliver the product to the intervention agency, which stores it in the premises under its management. The Community then sells this stored alcohol through invitations to tender.

(3) It was not possible to conduct invitations to tender in the most recent period, and the agency's storage facilities are now completely full. Consequently, as the Portuguese intervention agency has not yet been able to organise new premises, it asked the distillers to store the alcohol on their own premises. The distillers have gradually reached their storage capacity limits as a result and have been unable to accept all the wines to be delivered by the producers for distillation under Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 378/2002(5).

(4) The delivery period in Portugal must therefore be extended so that the planned operation can be completed and operators are not penalised for deliveries made after 30 June. Allowing deliveries to continue is advisable in order to prevent deliveries from extending beyond the wine year.

(5) This amendment must therefore apply retroactively from 1 July 2002. This retroactivity does not prejudice the operators' legitimate expectations because it provides only for an extension of the delivery period.

(6) 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

The following subparagraph is hereby added to Article 63(9) of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000: "However, for the 2001/02 marketing year, the wines listed in the contracts concluded with Portugal for distillation under Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 378/2002 can be delivered until 31 July 2002."

Article 2

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 July 2002.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Regulation (EC) No 884/2001 laying down detailed rules of application concerning the documents accompanying the carriage of wine products and the records to be kept in the wine sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2585/2001(2), and in particular Article 70(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 884/2001(3) lays down the detailed rules of application concerning the documents accompanying the carriage of wine products.

(2) Article 18(1) of that Regulation allows the Member States to introduce additional or specific rules for products being transported on their territory.

(3) Article 18(1)(d) provides that for a transitional period expiring on 31 July 2002 the details of the density of the grape must may be replaced by details of the density expressed by the alcoholic strength in degrees Oechsle.

(4) That unit is traditionally used by wine producers and operators in the sector in some Member States for the purpose of monitoring vinification processes. It replaces details of the density of the grape must in the documents accompanying carriage beginning and ending on the territory of those Member States.

(5) In view of the technical problems encountered by small-scale producers in adjusting to a new unit of measurement the derogation should be extended by allowing the Member States concerned to express must density in degrees Oechsle in accompanying documents concerning the carriage of grape must beginning and ending on their territory without passing through the territory of another Member State or of a third country.

(6) The measure provided for in this Regulation is in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Article 18(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 884/2001, the date "31 July 2002" is replaced by "31 July 2010".
