Owing "to the fact that certain products - of particular concern to the
new Member States - are obtained by adding alcohol to concentrated grape
must (Britieh and Irish vines ) , this practice must be made possible by
making appropriate amendments to Regulation (ESC ) No 1093/70 •
Moreover , as there has been no progress for a year towards harmonizing the
conditions for the production of wines flavoured with aromatic extracts , and
as the existing situation has not given rise to any problems , it is proposed
to the Council that the period of application of the provisions allowing the
addition of alcohol to a oertain number of wine products and in certain cases
be extended .
