The purpose of "this Regulation iB to amend, certain provisions of Regulation
(EEC ) N° 1930/76 on the distillation of the "by-products of wine-making. The
change , which will enable alcohol prices differentiated according to origin ,
to be fixed along with a standard price , is necessary in order to obviate
the risk that the end purpose of the obligation to distil the by-products
of wine-making will not be attained in certain regions of the Community .
As transport and distillations costs vary for the different by-products
when the relationship between the quantities of these differs from that on
which the fixed, price is based discrimination can ensue in certain regions
of the Community between distillers which would hinder the normal progress
of distillation .

THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
Having regard to Council Regulation ( EEC ) N° 8I6/7O of 28 April 1970 laying
down additional provisions for the common organization of the market in wine"''
as last amended by Regulation (EEC ) N° 2560/77 » and in particular Article
24 ( 6 ) thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas ■ Council Regulation (EEC ) N° 1930/76 of 20 July 1976 on the distilla­
tion of the by-products of wine-making^, as amended "by Regulation (EEC )
N° l676/77^» provides that the price to be paid by intervention agencies
to the distiller shall be fixed annually by the Council on the basis of
certain costs and of technical losses ; whereas this price may be differen­
tiated according to whether ma,ro , lees or wine is distilled in order to
take into account , where necessary , the differing costs and losses :
                                                               •/ •

 ---pagebreak---  Whereas a fixed price is satisfactory in several regions of
 the Community ; whereas however in other regions the relation between
 quantities of marc and those of wine and lees is such that the average
distillation costs differ from those used to calculate the fixed price ;
whereas this situation is makes or risks making it economically impossible
 in certain of these regions to achieve the objective of the. obligation to
 distil the by-products wine–making j                   *
 Wherea8 it is therefore essential . to provide for a fixed price and at
the same time prioes differentiated according to the origin of the alcohol
while leaving it to the Member States to deoide whether to apply the latter
 in regions where application of the fixed price leads to the difficulties
referred to above ;
Whereas the use of this option must not increase the expenditure of the inter­
vention agency and hence of the EAGGP ; whereas it is therefire necessary to
correlate the differentiated prices with the fixed price so that the
weighted average of the differentiated prices does not exceed the fixed .

w In the case referred to in the first subparagraph ,
   different prices for alcohol produoed from marc and for alcohol produced

   one or more of the by-products of wine–making distilled in certain regions
   of the Community# The price levels fixed for alcohol produced from the
   different by»-produots shall be such that their weighted average does not
