of 19 July 1982
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2852/81 derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 343/79 in respect of general rules relating to the distillation of table wines decided upon in accordance with Article 12a of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79
THE COUNCIL 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 3577/81 (2), and in particular Article 12a (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2852/81 (3) introduced, by way of derogation from Council Regulation (EEC) No 343/79 of 5 February 1979 laying down general rules governing certain distillation operations in the wine sector (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2008/82 (5), special rules applying to the distillation operations reserved for holders of long-term storage contracts concluded during the 1980/81 wine-growing year; whereas experience of applying that Regulation (EEC) No 2852/81 indicates that, pending the adoption of new general rules relating to distillation by the Council, the rules of that Regulation should be renewed to cover a future wine-growing year subject only to a change in the rules applying to contracts to take account of certain administrative difficulties raised by their application,
