At the Council Meeting of 16/17 June 1974 » during the discussion on the market in
wine , and in particular on distilling and re-storing , the German Delegation drew
attention to the particular situation of German quality wines .
As a result of the record harvest of 1973 the stocks of quality wines in
Germany are for above the normal level#      In view of this situation it appears
justified to institute measures to transport these wines in order to ensure
that there will he room for the new wine harvest .
 ---pagebreak---                                 PIUMCIMi EFFECT
The enclosed draft regulation provides for aid during a limited period for the
transportation of quality wines p.s.r . originating in Wine-growing zone A ,
This is an intervention measure under Article 33 of Council Regulation (EEC )
No 816/7O justified by the surplus resulting from the 1973 harvest and the
limited storage available#
The costs of this measure are estimated at 1.500.000 u . a.  They are entered
in Article 691 of the 1974 Budget of the European Communities .
Article 09I                      Appropriations        Expenditure
                 1973                                  8,703.297
                 1974            37.300,000               190.080 (January to
                                                                   March 1974 )
An examination of expenditure of the Guarantee section suggests that , parti­
cularly in this sector , expenditure in 1974 is likely to reach 80 000 000 u.a.
( including the financial effect of the proposed measure)#
In view of the proposed appropriation for this sector , additional expenditure
of 40 000 000 u.a. must be provided for . This extra amount , which comes under
the general appropriations of the Guarantee section ( and is in fact confirmed
by the latest expenditure position), calls for a transfer of funds between
chapters .

                           REGULATION (EEC ) N° /74 OF THE COUNCIL
           "                       of                      -
                        concerning aid for the transportat ion of quality
                         wines p.s^r , in wine«*growing zone A.
THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN C0MMDKITI3S ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 816/70^^of 28 April 1970 laying dotm
additional provisions for the common organisation of the market in wine , as last
amended "by Regulation (SEC) no 2592/73        and. in particular Article 33 (2 ) thereof ;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas Article 33 of Regulation (EEC) n° 816/70 provides that intervention measure'.;
may "be taken in respect of wines other than table wines in order to support the
market in table wines ;
Whereas there has been a general slump in the prices of quality wines p.s.r . as a
result of the abundant 1973 harvest in wine-growing zone A , particularly of quality
wines p.s.r ., thereby causing a drop in the prices quoted for table wines from that
zone ;
Whereas storage capacity being limited , difficulties can be expected in storing the
wine from the next harvest ; whereas this situation is already depressing the table
wine prices ; whereas in order to remedy the situation provision should be made for
 .      /the transportation of
aid for/            the wine concerned ; whereas action in respect of table wines
would be inadequate , since these represent only a small part of the 1973 harvest ;
whereas provision should therefore be made for/^r^S^°^^nftiality wines p.s.r.
from wine-growing zone A ;
