1.   Article 20 of the Cooperation Agreement between the Community ari
Algeria established the treatment to be applied to imports of tfir,o
originating in Al^roria for a trai sitional period of five years . Tbi «
period ended on 30 Jure 1901 . Oi 17 June the Algerian Mission to the
European Coianunitiea presented a Note Verbale containing a request by th«
Algerian Government for the treament to continue to be applied beyond the
transitional period and for oert.in of the detailed arrangements to b«
modi fied .
2.   However , in view of the deli berations taking plaoe on the CAP and
given the prospect of th« Coramun ty 's enlargement , the Commission considered
that the time was not yet ripe f >r renegotiating the treatment of imports
of Algerian wine into ths Community.      Consequently, in order not to prejudge
any future arran^omoni-s , it prop < sed that the preferential treatment
applicable on 30 June 1981 for w.ne originating in Algeria liimply be
extended unilaterally by means of 1 Council regulation based on Artiole 113
of the Treaty^" .
The treatment was accordingly extended until 31 December 19°2 f as a
 transitional measure , by Counoil Regulation (EEC ) No 3646/81 » Sinos
 tne situation has not changed si bstantially in the into rim , the Commission
 propones that the preferential treatment applicable on        June 1981 be
 extended for a further calendar year .    To this end , the Com.-ii ssion
 presents herewith a proposal for a Council regulation , emphasizing that
 a Council decision should be tal <in before 15 November ir. orior to avoid
 problems for both the Community and the Algerian authorities .
