of 16 February 1989
fixing the maximum tolerance for quantity losses as a result of the public storage of ethyl alcohol of vinous origin
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3247/81 of 9 November 1981 on the financing by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section, of certain intervention measures, particularly those involving the buying-in, storage and sale of agricultural products by intervention agencies (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2632/85 (2), and in particular Article 3 (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3247/81 provides that beyond a maximum tolerance to be fixed, the value of quantity losses is to be borne by the intervention agencies; whereas the quantity losses relate both to quantities entering storage during the financial year in question and to those in storage at the beginning of that financial year;
Whereas the tolerance must be calculated on the basis of the normal preservation of ethyl alcohol of vinous origin; whereas that tolerance should accordingly be the strictest possible and it should be identical throughout the Community;
Whereas, to determine the tolerance required, the simplest way is to express it as a percentage of the quantity of alcohol in storage;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
