COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2318/2000

of 19 October 2000

opening tendering procedure No 38/2000 EC for the sale of wine alcohol for new industrial uses

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Article 1

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17
May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in
wine (1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1622/
2000 (2),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000
of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing
Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation
of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms (3),
and in particular Article 80 thereof,

Tendering procedure No 38/2000 EC is hereby opened for the
for new industrial uses. The alcohol
sale of wine alcohol
concerned has been produced from distillation under Articles
35 and 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 and is held by the
French intervention agency.

The volume put up for sale is 100 000 hectolitres of alcohol at
100 % vol. The vat numbers, places of storage and the volume
of alcohol at 100 % vol contained in each vat are detailed in
the Annex hereto.

Whereas:

Article 2

Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 lays down, inter alia, the
detailed rules for disposing of stocks of alcohol arising
from distillation under Articles 27, 28 and 30 of Regula-
tion (EC) No 1493/1999 held by intervention agencies.

The sale shall be conducted in accordance with Articles 79, 81,
82, 83, 84, 85, 95, 96, 97, 100 and 101 of Regulation (EC) No
1623/2000 and Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98.

Tendering procedures should be organised for the sale of
wine alcohol for new industrial uses with a view to
reducing the stocks of wine alcohol in the Community
and enabling small-scale industrial projects to be carried
out and such alcohol
to be processed into goods
intended for export for industrial uses. The wine alcohol
of Community origin in storage in the Member States
consists of quantities produced from distillation under
Articles 35, 36 and 39 of Council Regulation (EEC) No
822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organisation
of the market in wine (4), as last amended by Regulation
(EC) No 1677/1999 (5).

Since the adoption of Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/
98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary
arrangements for the euro (6),
the prices offered in
tenders and securities must be expressed in euros and
payments must be made in euro.

Minimum prices should be fixed for the submission of
tenders, broken down according to the type of end use.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Wine,
