of 27 February 1987
amending for the third time Regulation (EEC) No 854/86 laying down detailed rules for applying compulsory distillation as referred to in Article 41 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 of 5 February 1979 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 536/87 (2), and in particular Article 41 (9) thereof,
Whereas Article 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 is applicable in Spain with effect on the 1986/87 wine year; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 854/86 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1863/86 (4), should be amended accordingly, in particular as regards demarcation of production regions;
Whereas Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 854/86 specifies the conditions under which certain producers are granted exemption from the distillation scheme in question; whereas when applied during the 1985/86 wine year those provisions resulted in exemptions being granted in respect of too great a share of total production; whereas limits to the exemptions are feasible from an administrative point of view;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
