HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the Euro­
pean Economic Community, and in particular 
Article 43 thereof, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 
337/79 of 5 February 1979 on the common organ­
ization of the market in wine ('), as last amended by 
Regulation (EEC) No . .., and in particular Article 2 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commis­
sion, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, 
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 Com­
munity wishes to make to the harmonious develop­
ment 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; — for Greece, at 96,33 ECU, 
— for the other Member States, at 108,65 ECU. 
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 April 1984. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and 
directly applicable in all Member States. 
Whereas it is therefore essential not to increase the 
present gap between production and demand; 
whereas, accordingly, the guide prices for the 
1984/85 wine year should be fixed at the same level 
as in 1983/84; 
Whereas the guide prices must be fixed for each 
type of table wine representative of Community 
production as defined in Council Regulation (EEC) 
No 340/79 ('), 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
For the 1984/85 wine-growing year, the guide prices 
for table wines shall be:

Proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 on the 
common organization of the market in wine 
(84/C 62/30) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the Euro­
pean Economic Community, and in particular 
Article 43, thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commis­
sion, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas experience has shown that the ratio 
between the guide price and the activating price 
referred to in Articles 2 and 3 respectively of Coun­
cil Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 ('), as last 
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1595/83 (2), has 
remained fairly steady from one year to another; 
whereas the buying-in price for wine delivered for 
the various distillation operations is a percentage of 
the guide price fixed by the Council, and whereas, 
therefore, instead of activating prices being fixed 
annually, an appropriate constant ratio between the 
two prices should be laid down; 
Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 11 (2) 
of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 lays down that the 
buying-in price for wine delivered for preventive 
distillation as provided for in that Article is to be 
raised from 60 to 65 % of the guide price where com­
pulsory distillation as referred to in Article 41 has 
not been decided upon; whereas the last two wine 
years have shown that the uncertainty as to whether 
distillation as referred to in Article 41 would be 
decided upon has tended to deter producers from 
(') OJNoL54, 5. 3. 1979, p. 1. (2) OJ No L 163, 22. 6. 1983, p. 48. concluding contracts for delivery into preventive 
distillation, thus jeopardizing the market; whereas 
these measures must be kept separate if they are to 
fulfil their purpose of improving the market situa­
tion; whereas the buying-in price for wines 
delivered for preventive distillation should be fixed 
at 65 % of the guide price, in order that the measure 
should possess the desired incentive effect; 
Whereas in years where there is a surplus the results 
achieved by preventive distillation play a major role 
in establishing balance on the market at the begin­
ning of the marketing year; whereas steps should be 
taken to ensure that all the quantities of wine cov­
ered by delivery contracts are distilled; whereas 
therefore, where high-price distillation as referred to 
in Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 is 
decided upon, provision should be made for restrict­
ing it to producers who have concluded contracts or 
made declarations of delivery for preventive distilla­
tion; 
Whereas the fourth subparagraph of Article 17 (1) of 
Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 lays down that, where 
wines are presented in containers of two litres or 
less, the reference price is to be increased; whereas 
in order for this measure to achieve its purpose the 
price should also be increased where the wine is pre­
sented in containers of somewhat more than two 
litres; whereas provisions should also be made for 
altering the reference price for those regions of the 
Community whose distance involves additional 
costs in bringing Community wines to the same 
marketing stage as imported wine; 
Whereas, in order to make it possible to assess the 
yield per hectare of each wine producer, as laid 
down in Article 41 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 
337/79, even where the producer makes the wine 
from grapes which he has bought in, producers of 
grapes for vinification should also be required to 
submit the annual harvest declaration;
