            adverse weather in 1984; whereas these production areas have seen very high rainfall
            and a considerable reduction in sunshine hours; whereas, as a result, some of the
            wines produced have such a high level of acidity that the methods of deacidification
            currently permitted by Community rules are not adequate if these wines are to be
            converted into harmonious table wines matching market requirements; whereas
            increasing the alcoholic strength of these wines by adding sucrose in aqueous solution
            would help to reduce their acid taste considerably; whereas, in view of the
            exceptional circumstances outlined above, the period during which the addition of
            sucrose in aqueous solution is permitted should be extended by one year,'
