suspending the notification of new contracts for an optional distillation of table wine

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000
of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing
Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common
organisation of the market in wine with regard to market
mechanisms (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2409/
2000 (2), and in particular Article 63(6) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 63 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 lays down
the conditions for the application of
the distillation
arrangements for wines referred to in Article 29 of
Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 (3). Those
arrangements provide for subsidised, voluntary distilla-
tion in order to support the wine market and help
ensure continued supplies to the potable alcohol sector,
which traditionally uses this type of alcohol. To that
end, wine producers and distillers conclude contracts,
which the Member States notify to the Commission
twice a month.

(2)

Article 63(6) lays down the conditions under which the
intervene in the contract-approval
Commission must
setting a percentage for acceptance of
procedure,

contracts concluded for distillation and/or suspending
the notification of new contracts, notably where the
available budgetary resources or the absorption capacity
of the potable alcohol sector is exceeded or may be
exceeded.

(3)

On the basis of the quantities of wine for which the
Member States notified distillation contracts to the
Commission on 5 December 2000, the Commission
considers that, without intervention, the available budget
resources will be exceeded. The Commission should
therefore suspend the notification of new contracts,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Notification to the Commission of new contracts under Article
63(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 is suspended until 31
August 2001.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publica-
tion in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
