amending Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 on the common organization of the market in wine 
(89/C 82/52) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social 
Committee, 
Whereas the reduction in wine production anticipated from 
the structural measures covering areas planted to wine 
grapes should not be prevented from being realized on 
account of replanting under rights arising from the 
grubbing of areas planted to vines that fall into another 
category as far as normal utilization of the grapes produced 
is concerned; whereas it is necessary to stipulate therefore 
that areas grubbed may be replanted only with vines of the 
same category; 
Whereas in order to prevent the enrichment of wine 
suitable for yielding table wine in order to produce table 
wine, which at present is the only wine that may be distilled 
under the provisions on compulsory distillation, the 
possibility of delivering such wine for distillation, which 
already exists where preventive distillation is concerned, 
should be extended to compulsory distillation, Article 1 
Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 (*) is amended as 
follows: 
1. The following subparagraph is added to Article 7(3). 
'When a replanting right is exercised only those vine 
varieties may be used that in the classification of vine 
varieties are ranked in the same category, as far as 
normal utilization of the grapes obtained is concerned, 
as the vines in the area grubbing of which has given rise 
to the planting right.' 
2. The first subparagraph of Article 39(1) shall read: 
'If, in respect of a given wine year, the market in table 
wine and wine suitable for yielding table wine is in a 
state of serious imbalance compulsory distillation of 
table wine and of wine suitable for yielding table wine 
shall be decided on.' 
Article 2 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day 
following its publication in the Official Journal of the 
European Communities. 
It shall apply from 1 September 1989.

fixing the guide prices for wine for the 1989/90 wine year 
(89/C 82/53) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 
thereof, 
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and 
Portugal, and in particular Article 89(1) thereof, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 
16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market 
in wine (*), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No ... (2), 
and in particular Article 27 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social 
Committee, 
Whereas, when the guide prices for the various types of 
table wine are fixed, account should be taken both of the 
objectives of the common agricultural policy and of the 
contribution which the Community wishes to make to the 
harmonious development of world trade; whereas the 
objectives of the common agricultural policy are, in 
particular, to ensure a fair standard of living for the 
agricultural community and to ensure that supplies are 
available and reach consumers at reasonable prices; 
Whereas until now the guide prices have been set at 
differing levels for white and for red wines in order to 
reflect differing market prices; whereas since prices have 
moved closer together this difference in levels is no longer 
justified; whereas, furthermore, it occasions unwarranted

(2) See page 71 of this Official Journal. vinification practices and the delivery of disproportionate 
volumes of red wine for distillation; whereas it should 
therefore be eliminated by lowering the guide price for red 
wine of types RI and RII and increasing that for white wine 
of type AI by such amounts that the mean financial impact 
on both producers and the Community budget is nil; 
whereas, however, it is necessary to avoid excessively large 
price changes by effecting the elimination over two wine 
years; 
Whereas the level of prices in Spain differs from that of the 
common prices; whereas pursuant to Article 70 of the Act 
of Accession these prices should be aligned with the 
common prices in annual steps at the beginning of each 
marketing year; whereas the rules on this alignment laid 
down give the Spanish prices set below; 
Whereas the guide prices must be fixed for each type of 
table wine representative of Community production as 
defined in Annex III to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/ 
87,
