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 33 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) In the context of the distillation of wine into potable alcohol as provided for by Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 and opened each wine year under Chapter II of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms (2), producers are required to deliver their wine to a distillery and the distillers must in turn distil that wine before specific dates.

(2) Because of the opening of several crisis distillations towards the end of the 2004/05 wine year and the significant volumes of wine covered by contracts for the distillation of potable alcohol, the distilleries in some Member States do not have enough capacity to accept the wine involved and distil it by the deadlines laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000.

(3) To resolve the problem, the date by which wine must be delivered for distillation and the date by which wine must be distilled should be put back by two weeks.

(4) 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

Notwithstanding the first subparagraph of Article 63a(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000, for the 2005/06 wine year the volumes of wine covered by contract may be delivered to distilleries up to 31 July of that wine year.

(2) Given the present situation on the sugar market, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 32 and 33 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.

(3) The first subparagraph of Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.

(4) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.

(5) The negotiations within the framework of the Europe Agreements between the European Community and Romania and Bulgaria aim in particular to liberalise trade in products covered by the common organisation of the market concerned. For those two countries export refunds should therefore be abolished.

(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
