THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 89 (1) thereof,  Having regard to the  proposal from the Commission,  Whereas Articles 125 (2) of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal provides that, during the period 1 March 1986 to 31 December 1989, coupage of red Spanish wines other than white table wines, with wines of the other  Member States shall be prohibited, save in exceptional cases to be determined; whereas the latter cases should, therefore, be determined;  Whereas certain red wines coming from certain northern regions of the Community and derived from certain varieties  of grape are pale in colour, particularly when derived from grapes harvested in a year of insufficient sunshine; whereas the pale colour of the said red wines may be corrected by coupage with wines of a very dark red colour; whereas coupage of red  Spanish table wines meeting strictly controlled standards with certain red wines of the other Member States should therefore be allowed;  Whereas pursuant to Article 394 (1) of the Act, the application of the Community rules introduced for the  production of and trade in agricultural products is to be postponed until 1 March 1986,
