   In order to meet the serious crisis which the wine market is currently
  experiencing following the exceptionally high 1979 crop, the Council
  initiated a distillation operation for table wines pursuant to Article 15
  of the basic wine Regulation . The general rules governing this distillation
 provided for a limitation of the period for the conclusion of contracts and
  for the course of distillation operations .       Moreover , the quantity distilled
  could not exceed , for each producer , 10% of the 1979 table wine crop , with
 the limit being raised to20% in the case of small producers *
 Subsequently , the Council decided to open a second distillation phase on
                                                     . •
 the same price and aid conditions and within a 15% limit of individual .
production^ . Whereas, initially the object of the operation was to
 withdraw from the market 8 million hectolitres of table wine , contracts
 concluded prior to the new deadline fixed for 1 July 1980 relate . in fact ,
                                       mio
 a quantity slightly less than 7 I hi .        In order to make it possible to attain
 the quantity objective anticipated at the time of the measure 's adoption ,
 an objective which has not been fully attained on account of administrative
 difficulties which have delayed the conclusion of contracts , the Commission
 is proposing that the Council should defer the deadline for the conclusion
 of contracts to 28 July 1980 , the deadline for approval being deferred
 accordingly .     Finally , it is proposed that the closing date for distillation
 operations should be postponed by one month and set for 30 September 1980 ,
          . /•             ... .     '                        ~
" In these cifcumstances, these postponements do not entail any alteration
 to the financial statement included in the initial Commission proposal ^
  which therefore remains valid and unchanged .
