Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2721/88 (3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2355/89 (4), lays down detailed rules for voluntary distillation as provided for in Articles 38, 41 and 42 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2484/89 (5) fixes the prices, the aid and certain other factors applicable to preventive distillation for the 1989/90 wine year;
Whereas Article 41 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 provides that in years during which the distillation indicated in Article 39 thereof is decided on, support distillation is to be introduced as soon as the said measure enters into force;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 117/90 (6) opened for the 1989/90 wine year distillation as indicated in the said Article 39; whereas distillation as provided for in Article 41 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 must therefore be opened;
