COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2244/84
of 31 July 1984
on the grant of re-storage aid for table wine for which a storage contract was concluded during the 1983/84 wine-growing year
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 1208/84 (2), and in particular Articles 10 and 65 thereof,
Whereas detailed implementing rules relating to storage contracts for table wine, in particular rules for the conclusion of such contracts, were laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1997/84 (4);
Whereas the quantities of table wine in stock are large for the time of year; whereas this is due to the fact that stocks during the current wine-growing year are substantially higher than usual in some regions while the forecasts for the coming harvest give little hope of a reduction;
Whereas the wine under storage contracts is stored in containers which may be required to store the next harvest;
Whereas, in order that producers may store their next vintage under normal conditions, aid should be granted for the re-storage of table wine, subject to a limitation as to distance;
Whereas, in order to limit this measure to cases where it appears economically justified, only storage contracts concluded or extended by the intervention agencies during a given period should be considered; whereas, in order to ensure that the measure operates correctly, provisions should also be adopted in respect of the nature of the transport and the date of submission of the application;
Whereas, since there is little time for administrative implementation and since the quantities involved are often small and the transport costs minimal by comparison with total costs, a standard amount of aid should be fixed;
Whereas the Management Committee for Wine has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
