EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

At  its request, the Commission was informed by all the Member States  that they 
no longer saw any value  in the application of Regulation  (EEC) No 353/79 
laying down the conditions  for coupage and wine-making in the free zones or 
that they have never carried out operations covered by that Regulation.  With 
a view to simplifying  the regulations  in the wine sector, that Regulation 
should accordingly be  repealed. 

This Regulation has no impact on the Community budget, nor on the SME or 
employment.
