Whereas certain operational difficulties have occured in the initial stages of application in Spain in 1987/88 of the common organization of the market in wine; whereas in particular the execution of distillation operations within the time limits set by the rules in force has resulted in temporary saturation of the storage capacity available to the Spanish intervention agency; whereas in order to deal with this difficulty and ensure proper application of the distillation measures it is necessary to adopt transitional provisions to facilitate the changeover from the previous Spanish wine sector arrangements to those of the common organization of the market; whereas the time limit for distillation operations should therefore be extended by 15 days;
