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

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, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

tobacco 
(89/C 82/54) 
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 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 pursuant to Article 4(5) of Council Regulation 
(EEC) No 727/70 (*), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) 
No 2267/88 (2), there is fixed within an overall Community 
quantity a maximum guaranteed quantity for each of the 
tobacco varieties or groups of varieties grown in the 
Community, overshooting of which gives rise to a 
proportional reduction in prices and premiums; whereas 
these maximum guaranteed quantities are fixed every year,

harvest; whereas in order to allow planting to be planned 
the maximum guaranteed quantity for each variety or 
group of varieties should be fixed each year for the 
following year's harvest; whereas on the present occasion 
the quantities for both the 1989 and 1990 harvests should 
therefore be fixed; 
Whereas, in view of the differences of quality in a variety 
depending on the characteristics of the soil and the climate, 
it may be necessary to subdivide those maximum 
guaranteed quantities by specific production areas; 
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 should therefore be 
amended, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 is amended as follows. 
1. The first subparagraph of Article 4(5) shall read: 
'The Council, acting as indicated in Article 43(2) of the 
Treaty, shall lay down every year for each tobacco 
variety or group of varieties produced in the Com­
munity for which prices and premiums are fixed a 
maximum guaranteed quantity for the following year's
