THE COUNCIL OFTHE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard totheTreaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
Having regard toCouncil Regulation (EEC )No337/79of5February onthe
common organization ofthemarket inwine(l ),aslast amended by
Regulation ,(EEC )No3454 /80(2 ),and inparticular Article 39(6 )thereof ,
Having regard tothe proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas ,inaccordance with Article 39ofRegulation (EEC )No337/79and
Articles 2and 3ofCouncil Regulation (EEC )No349/79of5February 1979
onthe distillation ofthe by-products ofwine-making (3),the Council fixes
for each wine-growing year the buying-in price forwine deliveries and the
price for thealcohol from wine deliveries under thecompulsory
distillation oftheby-products ofwine making ;
Whereas the buying-in price forwine deliveries ,inaccordance with Article
2ofRegulation (EEC )No349/79,should bebetween 30%and 40%oftheguide
price for table wine oftype AIapplicable with effect from 16December
1980 ;whereas the said price ,while remaining within the abovementioned
limits ,should befixed taking into account both the need toensure that
all producers fulfil all their obligations todistil the by-products of
wine-making ,and the level ofthemarket price for vinous alcohol ;
Whereas when theprice ofalcohol from wine deliveries referred tointhe
first subparagraph ofArticle 3(2 )ofRegulation (EEC )No349/79isfixed ,
thecriteria referred tointhat provision should betaken into account on
astandard basis ;whereas ,onthe other hand ,when theprices referred to
inthethird subparagraph ofthesaid paragraph are fixed ,they should be
based onthevariations incost which result from thediffering origins of
thealcohol supplied ;whereas allthese prices apply toalcohol with an
actual alcoholic strength notlower than 92%vol ,pursuant toArticle 1(2 )
ofRegulation (EEC )No349/79;
(1)OJNoL54,5.3.1979 ,p.1
(2)OJNoL260 ,31.12.1980 ,p.18

Guarantee Section ofthe European Agricultural Guidance and Guaranty *B*und
towards expenditure incurred byintervention agencies shall belimited to
losses incurred bythose agencies and^inanycase ,subject toaceiling ;
whereas ithasbeen found that this system involves administrative and ,
accounting difficulties for the intervention agencies inquestion ;
whereas ,moreover ,the losses soincurred always exceed the said
contribution bythe EAGGF ;whereas the appropriate instrument for
resolving these difficulties isthe solution adopted in^Article 4bof
Council Regulation (EEC )No343/79of5February 1979 laying down general
rules governing certain distillation operations inthewine sector (4),as
last amended byRegulation (EEC )No1991 /80(5 ),for thepurposes of
distillation asreferred toinArticles 40and 41ofRegulation (EEC )No
337/?9,aflat-rate sumbeing accordingly fixed perhectolitre ofpure alcohol
taken over ,"payable tothe intervention agencies regardless oftheir
losses ;whereas Article 4ofRegulation (EEC )No349/79must bederogated
from forthis purpose ;• " .

European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund should befixed inthe
light ofthe alcohol market situation , .
