COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1297/77  of 16 June 1977  amending for the fourth time Regulation (EEC) No 1019/70 on detailed rules for establishing free-at-frontier offer prices and fixing the countervailing charge in the wine sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 816/70 of 28 April 1970 laying down additional provisions for the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 528/77 (2), and in particular Article 9 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 9 (2) thereof provides that, in respect of each wine for which a reference price is fixed, a free-at-frontier offer price for all imports is to be determined on the basis of all available information;
Whereas Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1019/70 of 29 May 1970 on detailed rules for establishing free-at-frontier offer prices and fixing the countervailing charge in the wine sector (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 612/75 (4), provides that certain liqueur wines of designated origin are exempt from the countervailing charge ; whereas this exemption was granted because the wines involved are quality wines whose price is assumed to be higher than the reference price, which is the price level maintained by the countervailing charge;
Whereas it has been found that certain quantities of these wines enter the Community at a price lower than the reference price ; whereas, however, it is difficult to control and quantify such imports in the absence of Community methods for this purpose, particularly since Regulation (EEC) No 2506/75 does not apply to them;
Whereas exemption from the countervailing charge while observing the reference price may also be achieved through another mechanism, contained in the first indent of the second subparagraph of Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 816/70, which provides for a guarantee by the non-member country concerned that the reference price will be observed ; whereas in that case the controls provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 2506/75 are applicable;
Whereas, in the circumstances, for the purposes of better market management, exemption from the countervailing charge for the wines in question should be achieved through the second mechanism ; whereas, therefore, Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1019/70 should be deleted at the end of a period to allow for the setting up of the system of guarantees from the non-member countries concerned;
Whereas the Management Committee for wine has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1019/70 is hereby deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1978.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
