amending, as regards production potential, Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine

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), and in particular Article 80(b) thereof,

For the purposes of calculating the difference referred to in the first subparagraph, the following rules shall apply: (a) if the maize market price referred to in point (a) is higher than the intervention price but less than 155 % of that price, the price to be taken into account shall be the intervention price plus half the difference between the real price and the intervention price; (b) if the maize market price referred to in point (a) is higher than 155 % of the intervention price, the price to be taken into account shall be the intervention price plus 27,5 % of the intervention price. For potato starch a different rate may be set that reflects the minimum price indicated in Article 8(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92. In that case, the calculation shall be made on the basis of the maize market price in France referred to in point (a) of the first subparagraph, up to a limit of 115 % of the intervention price. During July, August and September, the maize price referred to in point (a) of the first subparagraph shall be reduced by the difference between the intervention price for wheat valid in June and that valid in July, save if the price of maize referred to in point (a) of the first subparagraph corresponds already to that valid for the new harvest.’;
