Council Regulation (EEC ) No 1913/ 74 of 22 July 1974 laying down general rules
governing the distillation of table wines of type A II during the period from
15  August 1974 to 31 October 1974 provided for the distillation of table wines
under certain conditions , subject to a date limit of 31 October 1974 »  However ,
there have been teohnical difficulties making it impossible to complete distil­
lation in time#
It would therefore seem that the time-limit for technical distillation operations
should be extended in order to remove a larger quantity from the market , while the
deadline for conclusion of contracts should be left unchanged .
An additional period of fifteen days would seem appropriate in order to allow
the measure to have its effect on the market#
The amount of the aid was fixed by reference to the prices for alcohol and potable
spirits in »T~ily# Prices for these two products have fallen since that time , and
the aids Jiusi therefore be adjusted accordingly .

place after 31 October 1974 »
Whereas only small quantities of wine have been distilled because the distilleries
had limited capacity ;
Whereas with a view to ensuring complete market support , the period of distilla–
tion should be extended for those quantities of wine in respect of which a dis­
tillation contract was concluded before 31 October 19741

 This proposal for a Regulation would, extend the period of validity of Regulation
 (EEC ) No 1913/74 to 15 November 1574* In view of the low quantities distilled
 under Regulation 1913/74 » it is unlikely that the financial effect of this propo­
 sal would increase the financial effet calculated on the original period, of ap­
 plication of Regulation 1724/74 (x). Accordingly this proposal will not create
 any new expenditure .
 It is recalled that expenditure would be chargeable to Article 691 ( intervention
an favour of wine ) of the Budget of the European Communities .
