of 14 November 1985
authorizing the United Kingdom to permit under certain conditions an additional increase in the alcoholic strength of certain wines and certain products intended for wine making
THE COMMISSION 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 1979 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 798/85 (2), and in particular Articles 32 (4) and 65 thereof,
Whereas under Article 32 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 Member States may permit an increase in the actual or potential natural alcoholic strength only within certain limits;
Whereas, because of extremely heavy rainfall in several regions of the United Kingdom during the summer of 1985, the limits upon increases in the natural alcoholic strength as fixed by Article 32 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 in the case of grapes harvested in the United Kingdom wine area prevent the production of the wines which are normally required by the market; whereas this Member State should accordingly be authorized to permit, in the regions affected, an additional increase in the natural alcoholic strength as provided for in Article 32 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79; whereas provision should be made for the United Kingdom to communicate to the Commission certain information, in particular under Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1594/70 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 632/80 (4);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
