THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1734/91 (2), and in particular Articles 32 (5), 33 (5) and 47 (3) thereof,
Whereas compulsory distillation plays an essential role in achieving balance on the market for table wine and indirectly in structurally adjusting wine growing potential to needs; whereas, therefore, it is vital that it be most strictly applied and that  all producers concerned actually deliver the quantities which correspond to their distillation obligations;
Whereas, therefore, producers wishing to receive storage aid for table wine, grape must, concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must should provided proof that they have actually fulfilled their obligations with regard to deliveries or  withdrawal under supervision during the reference periods laid down respectively by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3105/88 of 7 October 1988 laying down detailed rules for the application of compulsory distillation as provided for in Articles 35 and 36  of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2182/91 (4), and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 441/88 of 17 February 1988 laying down detailed rules for applying compulsory distillation as referred to in Article 39 of Council  Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2070/91 (6);
Whereas, in certain Member States, this proof is provided by a certificate stamped by the competent bodies but which is sometimes supplied too late for deadlines for storage contract applications to be met and whereas certain producers are penalized in  that they are unable to complete the necessary paperwork on time; whereas, therefore, producers should be allowed to receive the aid by giving an undertaking to sutmit the proof at a later date;
Whereas grape must, concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must may be required at the beginning of the marketing year, and, as a result, provision should be made, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, for producers to be able  to have these products freely available during a fixed period, by submitting a simple declaration to the intervention agency; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2753/89 (8), should be amended  accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
