COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 205/84
of 26 January 1984
laying down transitional measures applicable in respect of the 1983/84 wine-growing year concerning the payment of aid for the distillation of fortified wine
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2179/83 of 25 July 1983 laying down general rules for distillation operations involving wine and the by-products of wine-making (1), and in particular Article 30 thereof,
Whereas under Article 26 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2179/83 the aid is paid to the maker of fortified wine on condition that he provides a security equal to 110 % of the aid to be received in respect of the distillation operations provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 of 5 February 1979 on the common organization of the market in wine (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1595/83 (3);
Whereas that provision, which first became applicable on 1 September 1983, has given rise to major difficulties both for dealers and for intervention agencies in cases where the fortified wine is distilled in a Member State other than that in which the contract or declaration was approved;
Whereas a transitional measure should therefore be adopted in accordance with Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 2179/83 in respect of the 1983/84 wine-growing year which provides, by way of derogation from Article 26 (4) of the said Regulation, for an alternative system for payment of the aid which none the less provides equivalent guarantees as to control;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
