Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
                                                                                              Article 1
Whereas an activating price must be fixed annually

taking into consideration the factors set out in Article            1976 to 15 December 1977 are hereby fixed as
3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 816/70 ;                               follows :
Whereas the quality of the 1976/77 harvest can gener­                1 . 1 -82 units of account per degree/hectolitre for table

R II table wines, the weighted average prices for all                    of type R III,
the other types are either lower than or close to the               4. 1-71 units of account per degree/hectolitre for    table
activating price ;                                                       wine of type A I,
Whereas, because of the lower level of stocks brought               5. 37-89 units of account per hectolitre for table    wine

previous wine-growing year ;                                        6. 43-27 units of account per hectolitre for table    wine
                                                                         of type A III .
Whereas the level of activating prices must take
account of the factors mentioned above ; whereas,                                             Article 2
therefore, the activating prices fixed for the previous
wine year should be increased, without, however,                    This Regulation shall enter into force on                16
