Brussels, 12 S eptember 1983
Proposal for a  
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
on the treatment applicable to imports of wine originating in Algeria
(submitted to the Council by the Commission)
COM(83) 514 final

1. Article 20 of the Cooperation Agreement between the Community and  
Algeria established the treatment to be applied to imports of wine  
originating in Algeria for a transitional period of five years. This  
period ended on 30 June 1981. On 17 June the Algerian Mission to the  
European Communities presented a Note Verbale containing a request by  
the Algerian Government for the treatment to continue to be applied  
beyond the transitional period and for certain of the detailed  
arrangements to be modified.
2. However, in view of the deliberations taking place on the CAP and  
given the prospect of the Community's enlargement, the Commission  
considered that the time was not yet ripe for renegotiating the  
treatment of imports of Algerian wine into the Community.
Consequently, in order not to prejudge any future arrangements, it  
proposed that the preferential treatment applicable on 30 June 1981  
for wine originating in Algeria simply be extended unilaterally by
imeans of a Council regulation based on Article 113 of the Treaty .
The treatment was accordingly extended until 31 December 1982 by
Council Regulation (EEC) No 3646/81 and again until 31 December 1983
2by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3594/82 .  Since the situation which  
warranted this extension has not changed substantially in the interim,  
the Commission proposes that the preferential treatment applicable  
on 30 June 1981 be extended for a further calendar year. To this  
end, the Commission presents herewith a proposal for a Council  
regulation.

FINANCIAL S T A T E M E N T
1. Budget heading concerned :  Chap. 12 - Art. 120
2. Legat basis :  Article 113 of the Treaty
3. Title of the tariff measure :
- Proposal for a Council Regulation extending the treatment applicable  
to imports of wine originating in Algeria (1984).
4. Subject :
Extension for one year from 1 January 1984 of the provisions applicable  
to imports of wine originating in Algeria pursuant to Article 20 of the  
Cooperation Agreement.
5. Method of calculation :
CCT No :  ex 22.05 C I and II  
CCT duty :  14.5 ECU/hl and 16.9 ECU/hl  
Average = 15.7 ECU/hl
a) quality wine :  duty free within a quota of 450 000 hi
b) ordinary wine :  80 % reduction without limitation
6. Losses of revenue :
This tariff measure was applied in 1981/83. As imports of Algerian wine  
are on the decrease, there are no losses of revenue to be entered for 1984. 
Real losses on the basis of forseeable imports :
a) quality wine :  5 000 hi x 15.7 ECU = 78 500 ECU
b) ordinary wine :180 500 hi x (15.7 x 80
100)  = 2.267.080 ECU
Total losses 2.345.580 E C U
