*****COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 1997/84  of 12 July 1984  amending Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83 on storage contracts for table wine, grape must, concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must  THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 of 5 February 1979 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1208/84 (2), and in particular Articles 7 (5), 9 (5), 12a (5) and 65 thereof,  Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1208/84 substantially altered the private storage arrangements for table wine and grape must laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 337/79; whereas the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2405/83 (4), should therefore be amended accordingly;  Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1208/84 discontinued short-term storage; whereas there was a link between the amount of aid for long-term storage contracts and that for short-term storage contracts; whereas the aid for long-term storage contracts should therefore be redefined; whereas the amount concerned should vary in relation to the wine's value and its characteristics; whereas table wine should therefore be classified into two categories, with provision for a reduction in the amount of aid in respect of the category containing wine of lesser quality;  Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,  HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:  Article 1  Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83 is hereby amended as follows:  1.

In the case of table wines from a single winery which are of the same type or in close economic relationship with each other and for which a common amount of aid is fixed, producers shall not conclude more than two long-term contracts or more than two contracts under Article 12a of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 in the same wine-growing year.  In the case of each of the products referred to in Article 12 (c), (d) and (e), for which a common amount of aid is fixed, producers shall not conclude more than two long-term contracts in a given wine-growing year.'  3. Article 6 (2) is replaced by the following:  '2. Table wines eligible for long-term storage contracts shall be classified into two categories on the basis of their characteristics with regard to quality.

With the exception of types R III, A II and A III, table wines covered by storage contracts may not have an actual alcoholic strength of less than 10 % vol.'  4.

By way of derogation from paragraph 1, Member States may authorize the insertion of an additional clause in a long-term contract, at the request of the producer, which provides for the payment of two advance instalments on the aid due, to be calculated by three-month periods and paid in each case not later than three months after the last day of each three-month period.'  7. The second paragraph of Article 18 is deleted.  8. Article 19 (1) is replaced by the following:  '1.
