Whereas, when the guide prices for the various types of table wine are fixed, account should be taken both of the objectives of the common agricultural policy and of the contribution which the Community wishes to make to the harmonious development of  world trade; whereas the main objectives of the common agricultural policy are to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, to assure the availability of supplies and to ensure that supplies reach consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas, in order to attain these objectives, it is essential not to increase the present gap between production and demand; whereas, accordingly, the guide prices for the 1987/88 wine year should be reduced by 2 %;
Whereas the level of prices in Spain differs from that of the common prices; whereas, pursuant to Article 70 of the Act of Accession, the Spanish prices should be aligned on the common prices at the beginning of each marketing year; whereas the rules  laid down for this alignment give the Spanish prices set out below;
Whereas the guide prices must be fixed for each type of table wine representative of Community production as defined in Annex III of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87,
