                               Proposal for a
                         COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
 on the treatment applicable to imports of wine originating in Algeria
               (submitted to the Council by the Commission)
COM (83) 514 final
 ---pagebreak--- 1. Article 20 of the Cooperation Agreement between the Community and
Algeria established the treatment to be applied to imports of wine
originating in Algeria for a transitional period of five years.              This
period ended on 30 June 1981.             On 17 June the Algerian Mission to the
European Communities presented a Note Verbale containing a request by
the Algerian Government for the treatment to continue to be applied
beyond the transitional period and for certain of the detailed
arrangements to be modified.
2. However, in view of the deliberations taking place on the CAP and
 given the prospect of the Community's enlargement, the Commission
 considered that the time was not yet ripe for renegotiating the
 treatment of imports of Algerian wine into the Community.
 Consequently, in order not to prejudge any future arrangements, it
 proposed that the preferential treatment applicable on 30 June 1981
 for wine originating in Algeria simply be extended unilaterally by
                                                                           i
 means of a Council regulation based on Article 113 of the Treaty .
 The treatment was accordingly extended until 31 December 1982 by
 Council Regulation (EEC) No 3646/81 and again until 31 December 1983
                                                 2
 by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3594/82 . Since the situation which
 warranted this extension has not changed substantially in the interim,
 the Commission proposes that the preferential treatment applicable
 on 30 June 1981 be extended for a further calendar year.             To this
 end, the Commission presents herewith a proposal for a Council
 regulation.
