Proposal for a
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC )
amending Regulation (EEC)No816/70laying down additional
provisions forthe common organization ofthemarket inwine
THECOUNCIL OFTHEEUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard totheTreaty establishing theEuropean Economic Community ,
and inparticular Article 43thereof ,
Having regard totheproposal from theCommission ,
(15Having regard totheOpinion oftheEuropean Parliament ,
Whereas theexperience acquited intheapplication ofCouncil Regulation
(EEC)No816/70(2),last amended byRegulation (EEC)NOI86I/78(3),
makes itclear that inorder toachieve abetter balance between production
andutilization inthewine-growing sector itisnecessary toincrease
utilization ofwine products ;whereas intervention further back than
table wine production , .byencouraging theuseofmust forpurposes other
than wine making ,appears tobejustified ;
Whereas atpresent some substantial outlets could bemade available bythe
manufacture ofgrape juice andthemanufacture intheUnited Kingdom and
inIreland ofcertain products falling under heading No22.07 oftheCommon
Customs Tariff ;whereas theuseofCommunity grape must inthese sectors is
restricted inthefirst instance bycompetition from certain fruit juices
whose prices ontheworld market aresubstantially lower than theprices
ofCommunity grape must ,andinthesecond instance bycompetition from
musts from countries which traditionally supply theUnited Kingdom and
Ireland ;
