                       amending Regulation (EEC) No 1873/84
                authorizing the offer or disposal for direct human
               consumption of certain imported wines which may have
               undergone oenological processes not provided for in
                             Regulation (EEC) No 822/87

Imports into the Community of wine products originating in non-member
countries are, in particular, subject to the presentation of a certificate
of origin and conformity and an analysis report to be drawn up by official
bodies and laboratories in the non-member countries in question. In order
to facilitate imports of such products, in 1985 the Council relaxed by way
of a derogation the requirements regarding the drawing up of the
certificate and the analysis report on condition that the non-member
country in question provided special guarantees accepted by the Community.
Those derogating rules expire on 31 October 1991 after having been extended
five times.
In addition, save where a derogation is decided by the Council, wine
originating in non-member countries which has undergone oenological
practices not permitted by Community regulations may not be offered for
direct human consumption in the Community. A derogation from that rule was
granted until 26 July 1988 for wine originating in the United States as
regards the application of certain oenological practices permitted in that
non-member country but not allowed in the Community, and was subsequently
extended five times until 31 October 1991.
The Commission considers that it is necessary to extend the derogation for
an additional period of three months (so as not to disturb trade in the
wine sector). Such a period should be sufficient to allow the Community
and the United States to complete their negotiations for the conclusion of
an arrangement on the wine sector.
Remark
The adoption by the Council of the two abovementioned Regulations entails
no financial consequences for the Community budget.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Commun ity,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 |on the
common organization of the market in wine^1^, as last amended by
Regulation (EEC) No 1734/91 (2) , and in particular Article 73(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 70(1) Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 provides that imported
products covered by that Article must be accompanied by a certificate
attesting that they satisfy the provisions on production, release for free
circulation and, where appropriate, disposal for direct human consumption
 in the third country in which they originate;
Whereas Article 73(1) of that Regulation stipulates that if the imported
products in question have undergone oenological practices not allowed by
Community rules or not consonant with the provisions of that Regulation or
of those adopted pursuant thereto, they may not, except by way of a
derogation, be offered or disposed of for direct human consumption; whereas
the Council derogated from this principle by Regulation (EEC)
No 1873/84(3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2200/91<4>;
whereas this derogation expired on 31 July 1991; whereas, so that
consultations can continue between the Community and the third country
concerned with a view to an agreement on this matter, the term of validity
of the derogation should be extended for three month,
