 THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
 Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
 Having regard to Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 337/79 of 5 February on the
 common organization of the market in wine(l ), as last amended by
 Regulation , ( EEC ) No 3454 /80(2 ), and in particular Article 39(6 ) thereof ,
 Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
 Whereas , in accordance with Article 39 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 337/79 and
 Articles 2 and 3 of Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 349 /79 of 5 February 1979
 on the distillation of the by-products of wine-making ( 3 ) , the Council fixes
 for each wine-growing year the buying-in price for wine deliveries and the
 price for the alcohol from wine deliveries under the compulsory
 distillation of the by-products of wine making ;
 Whereas the buying-in price for wine deliveries , in accordance with Article
 2 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 349 / 79 , should be between 30% and 40% of the guide
 price for table wine of type A I applicable with effect from 16 December
 1980 ;    whereas the said price , while remaining within the abovementioned
 limits , should be fixed taking into account both the need to ensure that
 all producers fulfil all their obligations to distil the by-products of
 wine-making , and the level of the market price for vinous alcohol ;
Whereas when the price of alcohol from wine deliveries referred to in the
 first subparagraph of Article 3(2 ) of Regulation ( EEC) No 349/79 is fixed ,
 the criteria referred to in that provision should be taken into account on
 a standard basis ;     whereas , on the other hand , when the prices referred to
 in the third subparagraph of the said paragraph are fixed , they should be
 based on the variations in cost which result from the differing origins of
 the alcohol supplied ; whereas all these prices apply to alcohol with an
 actual alcoholic strength not lower than 92% vol , pursuant to Article 1(2 )
 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 349 / 79 ;
  ( 1 ) OJ No L 54 , 5.3.1979 , p. 1
  ( 2 ) OJ No L 260 , 31.12.1980 , p. 18
  ( 3 ) OJ No L 54 , 5.3.1979 , p. 84
 ---pagebreak--- Whereas , pursuant to Article 39(6 ) of Regulation ( EEC) No 337/79 , Article 4
of Regulation ( EEC) No 349/79 lays down that the contribution by the v
Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guaranty * B*und
towards expenditure incurred by intervention agencies shall be limited to
losses incurred by those agencies and ^ in any case , subject to a ceiling ;
whereas it has been found that this system involves administrative and         ,
accounting difficulties for the intervention agencies in question ;
whereas , moreover , the losses so incurred always exceed the said
contribution by the EAGGF ;    whereas the appropriate instrument for
resolving these difficulties is the solution adopted in ^Article 4b of
Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 343/79 of 5 February 1979 laying down general
rules governing certain distillation operations in the wine sector ( 4 ), as
last amended by Regulation (EEC ) No 1991 /80(5 ), for the purposes of
distillation as referred to in Articles 40 and 41 of Regulation ( EEC ) No
 337 / ?9, a flat-rate sum being accordingly fixed per hectolitre of pure alcohol
taken over ," payable to the intervention agencies regardless of their
losses ;    whereas Article 4 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 349/79 must be derogated
 from for this purpose ; •                                                 "         .
Whereas the amount of the contribution from the Guarantee Section of the
European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund should be fixed in the
light of the alcohol market situation ,                                            .
