           Proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EEC) No 355/79 laying down general
                              rules for the description and presentation of wines and grape musts
                                                        COM(86) 479 final
                              (Submitted by the Commission to the Council on 23 September 1986)

           THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
           Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
           Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 of 5 February 1979, on the common
           organization of the market in wine (*), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N o 3805/85 (2),
           and in particular Article 54 (1) thereof,
           Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
           Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
           Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/79 ( J ), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No
           1625/86 (4), laid down general rules for the description and presentation of wines and grape
           musts; whereas, the second subparagraph of Article 4 (3) and point (b) of the second subpara-
           graph of Article 14 (3) of that Regulation lists the names of certain specified regions which
           may, by way of exception, be used for the description of table wines during a transitional
           period expiring on 31 August 1986; whereas, since the Member States concerned have not yet
           established the names which may replace the names of these specified regions in the description
           of table wines, the said transitional period should be extended until 31 August 1991,
           HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
                                                              Article 1
           In the second subparagraph of Article 4 (3) and in point (b) of the second subparagraph of
           Article 14 (3) of Regulation (EEC) N o 355/79, '31 August 1986' is hereby replaced by '31
           August 1991'.
                                                              Article 2
           This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the
           European Communities.
           It shall apply with effect from 1 September 1986.
           This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
