Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 816/70 of 28 April 1970 laying down additional provisions for the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1167/76 (2), and in particular Article 28 (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1848/76 of 27 July 1976 laying down general rules for the import of wines, grape juice and grape must (3), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2115/76 of 20 August 1976 laying down general rules for the import of wines, grape juice and grape must (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2417/76 (5), provides that certain wines dispatched before 1 December 1976 may be accompanied by V.I documents complying with the models used up to 1 September 1976 ; whereas large stocks of documents still exist in non-member countries and experience has shown that the availability in the non-member countries concerned of the V.I documents provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 2115/76 cannot be guaranteed by 1 December 1976 ; whereas this date should therefore be amended to 1 July 1977;
Whereas as part of the policy to simplify the agricultural legislation it seems advisable to exempt, for a transitional period, certain liqueur wines for which a comparable document is already required under Community rules;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
