                             EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM
The importation into the Community of wine originating In third countries . Is
among other things , conditional upon the presentation of a certificate of
origin and conformity as well as an analysis report established by official
agencies and laboratories of the third country in question .    In order to
facilitate the import of these products , the Council introduced , by way of
derogation In 1985 , a certain relaxation as far as the analysis report is
concerned , on condition that the third country In question provides certain
guarantees accepted by the Community .   These derogation rules , were fixed for
a trial period of three years to end 31.12.1988 .
The only country benefiting from the above-mentioned facilities to Import Is
the USA .   Consultations have been taking place for some time now between the
Community and the United States on certain aspects of trade in the wine
sector , and particularly on a better protection of geographic names used to
designate Community wines on the US market .
In order to allow the consultation process with the United States to
progress , the Commission proposes that the above mentioned deadline for the
derogation is postponed for seven months ( to 31.7.1989 ). It should be noted
that the Council , within the context of these EC/ US consultations , has
already extended , also to 31.7.1989 , the exceptional arrangements by which US
wine produced using certain oenological practices not In conformity with
Community legislation may be Imported Into the Community ( See Regulation
( EEC ) No 2179/88 ).
The adoption of this Regulation would not lead to any change to the Community
budget .
