                        EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
A further step has been taken to deal with the serious and continuing
problems affecting the market in table wine by providing, under Council
                              1                .      .     .    ...     2)
Regulation ( EEC ) No 2328/81    amending Regvilation ( EEC ) No 1144/81    ,
for a second exceptional distillation measure . In view of the limited
distillation capacities in wine-growing zones C III a ) and C III b ) and
in order to facilitate the distillation of wines from these zones in
other wine-growing zones , transport aid is granted under Regulation
( EEC ) No 2328/81 for wine distilled at a distance of at least 300 km
from the place of its production .
Since seme Community distillers traditionally distil large quantities
of wine in plants which are not situated in a wine-growing zone , the
Commission would propose , in order to make the exceptional distillation
measure as effective as possible , that such distillers be made eligible
for the said transport aid .
                          I
The expenditure consequential upon adoption of this proposal for a
Regulation will not be greater than that provided for in respect of
the second distillation measure .
