                        Explanatory Memorandum
In the absence of a common organization of the market in the alcohol
sector and of provisions to harmonize the definitions for aromatized
wines, the existing provisions concerning the addition of alcohol to
wine sector products should be extended to the end of 1991, in the
light of the fact that the present situation gives rise to no
difficulties inapplication.
There are no financial implications.
The proposal  does not effect   small or medium-sized undertakings or
employment.
