On the occasion or the 1976 reform of the basic win ? regulations.,' -i!*e Counci I '
decided to introduce supplementary intervention measures for those enth long-
term (9 months ) private storage contracts for table wine * Article 12 of
                                                                                   1
Regulation ( EEC ) No 337 / 79 on the common organization of the market in wine
 Lays down that these treasures , intended to guarantee that rates remain above
the activating price , may tske the form of an extension of storage for the
wines . in question , a distillation'measure at activating price or a combination
of the two . These measures were to apply for four wine-growing years , the last
being 1979 / 80 which is still running .                             -           ;
In autumn 1977, supplementary measures were introduced for , red and white table
wines of types A I,*R I and R II . After a small harvest was confirmed, only
550 000 hi out of 8 500 000 hi of the wines in question subject to long-term
 storage contracts were delivered for distillation and 2 million . hi were carried
forward under four-month storage contracts .
           *                                        »
 In autumn 1978 , additional measures were introduced only for white table wines
of types A I , A II and A III . The circumstances were the same , with a small
 harvest , and only 370 000 hi were distilled and 260 000 hi carried forward
 for four months out of a total of some 1 300 000 hi of the wines in question .
 Additional measures of that type were decided upon in October 1979 in respect
                                         2            3
of table wines of types A I and R I         and R II . The large quantities in long-ter
 storage (9 300 000 hi ) and the pressure from a harvest in substantial surplus
 will certainly mean very much more widespread recourse to distillation than in
 the two previous years . However , the speedy implementation of an intervention
measure of that type at the beginning of the year means that there is some
 hope that the market will recover .
                                                                              ./.

The Commission feels that the additional intervention measures reserved for
those with long-term private storage contracts represent an appropriate
management tool , selective in nature , simple to apply and whose scope is
easy to control . This is why the Commission proposes , until the measures
intended to adapt wine-growing potential to market requirements on a
lasting basis take their full effect , that the validity of. these provisions
should be extended to cover three more years , that is to say, up to 1982 / 83 .

  Whereas Article 12 of Council Regulation . ( EEC ) No 337 / 79 , as last
. amended by Regulation ( EEC ) No 2397 /79^, laid down until the - 1979 /80
  marketing year additional intervention measures reserved for holders
  of long-term private storage contracts ;      whereas the operation of
  these measures has shown that it is a device making for sound management
  flexible in its application and whose scope is easy to control ;       whereas
  the operation of structural measures to adapt wine-growing potential to
  market requirements on a lasting basis will require several more years
  to yield results ;    whereas it   has proved necessary for this reason
  to take , for a transitional period, certain measures to strengthen
  the system of market support for table wines ;       whereas it therefore
  appears advisable to textend for three wine-growing years the above
  mentioned additional measures , which . serve the same purpose and have
  proved to be effective ;.
