of 21 August 1990
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3105/88 laying down detailed rules for the application of compulsory distillation as provided for in Articles 35 and 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
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 1325/90 (2), and in particular Articles 35 (8), 47 (3) and 81 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3105/88 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2352/89 (4), sets the percentage moisture content to be displayed by wine lees on delivery to the distillery; whereas Article 6 of the same Regulation lays down that for wine years subsequent to the 1989/90 wine year a higher percentage is to be fixed so as to ensure more effectively that the obligations laid down in Article 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 are discharged where distillation is replaced by withdrawal under supervision of the by-products of winemaking; whereas the current situation in this regard, which varies considerably owing to the different technologies used, excludes the setting of a definitive limit at the present time;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
