Having regard to the proposal from the Com­
mission;
Whereas an activating price should be fixed               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
annually for each type of table wine for which
a guide price is fixed, with account being taken
of the elements set out in Article 3 (2) of                                       Article 1
Regulation (EEC) No 816/70;
Whereas the quality of the harvest may generally          For the period 16 December 1972 to 15 Decem­
be considered to average;                                 ber 1973, the activating price shall be:
Whereas, since the end of the preceding wine              1 . 1-35 u.a . per degree/hi for table wines
season, a general strengthening of the rates has               Type R I,
been apparent; whereas for several types of               2 . 1-31 u.a. per degree/hi for table wines
wine this has already resulted in the ending of                Type R II,

                                                          3 . 21-6 u.a. per hi for tables wines Type R III,
Whereas provisional analysis of the situation             4 . 1-31 u.a . per degree/hi for table wines
indicates that, by comparison with the previous                Type A I ,
wine season the stocks available from that
year are inferior to those available from the             5 . 28-1 u.a. per hi for table wines Type A II,
preceding wine season;                                     6 . 33*1 u.a. per hi for table wines Type A III.
Whereas the level of the activating prices should
take account of the aforementioned characteris­

to increase the activating price above that               This Regulation shall enter into force on
applied in the preceding wine season; whereas              16 December 1972 .
