             Council Regulation ( EDC ) N° 2313/71 on the temporary partial
suspension of the Common Customs Tariff duties on wine originating in and
coming from Algeria , and Regulation (EEC ) N° 2823/71 on the temporary par­
tial suspension of the Common Customs Tariff duties on wine originating
in and coming from Morocco , Tunisia and Turkey were adopted by the Council ,
pending- the introduction of a definitive system , so as to avoid any inter-
raption in the flow of wine exports from those countries into the Communi­
ty and without thereby prejudicing the interests of Community producers .
             These Regulations , amended by Council Regulation (ESC ) N°
1942/74 , are only applicable until 31st August , 1975 * It is possible that ,
notably with Morocco , Algeria and Tunisia , where nagociations are at an
advanced state , that the definitive regimes for these products can be con­
cluded and published , within the Overall Mediterranean Approach , before
this date , but even if this is so their application by the Customs autho­
rities will not be immediately possible .    Consequently the Commission sug­
gests to the Council the extension of the period of validity of these regu­
lations until , at the latest 31st August 1976 by adopting this proposed re­
gulation .  The regulation would cease to be valid upon the entry into force
of the definitive regimes .
             From previous trade figures it is estimated that prolongation
of the partial suspension of the customs duties referred to above for one
year , that is from 1st of September 1975 » to 31st August , 1976 , would in­
volve an amount of 16 millions of U.A. in non-collected duties .

   On the basis of import figure available concerning the year 1973 ,
the financial incidence is about 16 Millions U.A. .
