COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3186/92 of 30 October 1992 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3105/88 laying down detailed rules for the application of compulsory distillation as provided for in Articles 35 and 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87
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 1756/92 (2), and in particular Article 35 (8) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2046/89 (3) lays down general rules for distillation operations involving wine and the by-products of winemaking; whereas Articles 13 (1) and 14 (1) of that Regulation provide that under certain conditions certain winegrowers may not be subject to the obligations to deliver to the distilleries by-products of winemaking or any other processing of grapes as referred to in Article 35 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87;
Whereas Article 2 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3105/88 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2182/91 (5), provides that winegrowers in the Italian part of wine-growing zone may take advantage of that possibility where they have carried out vinification or any other processing of grapes involving a quantity corresponding to more than 25 hectolitres but not more than 40 hectolitres of wine;
Whereas Portuguese winegrowers fall within production areas where the distillation of by-products of winemaking or any other processing of grapes represents a disproportionate burden on account in particular of the costs of transport, given the quantities covered by the obligation; whereas winegrowers in the wine-growing zone of Portugal should accordingly also qualify under the measure applicable to producers in the Italian part of wine-growing zone C;
Whereas provision should be made for the measure to take effect from the beginning of the 1992/93 wine year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the relevant management committees,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3104/88, 'In the Italian part of wine-growing zones C' is hereby replaced by 'In the Italian part of wine-growing zone C and in the wine-growing zone of Portugal'.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 September 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 30 October 1992.
