COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2178/96 of 13 November 1996 fixing the prices and rates of the aid for preventive distillation referred to in Article 38 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 in Austria for the 1996/97 wine year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 149 (1) thereof,
Whereas 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 (EC) No 1592/96 (2), lays down the basic rules for the management of the market in that sector; whereas, in particular, Article 1 (6) thereof lays down that the wine year lasts from 1 September to 31 August;
Whereas, by virtue of the abovementioned Act of Accession, the common organization of the market in wine has applied in Austria since the moment of accession; whereas, however, the Commission, by Regulation (EC) No 1649/96 of 16 August 1996 on transitional measures applicable in Austria in the wine-growing sector (3), fixed the specific market management measures for the 1996/97 wine year, in particular concerning exemptions from the distillation measures referred to in Articles 35 and 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87; whereas that Regulation provides that, for preventive distillation, the Commission must, in establishing the quantities of wine concerned, the prices and aids in Austria, take account of the impact of that exemption on producers' incomes in that Member State;
Whereas it is currently impossible to know whether compulsory distillation will take place; whereas, therefore, the prices should be fixed at 80 % of the amounts provided for in Annex III of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1650/96 (4), the aids should also be adjusted and at the same time a mechanism should be provided which will rule out any discriminatory treatment in the event that there is no compulsory distillation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
By derogation from Regulation (EC) No 1650/96, the prices and aids relating to the distillation provided for in Article 38 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 for Austria for the 1996/97 wine year shall be those included in the Annex hereto.
However, if there is no compulsory distillation for the 1996/97 wine year:
- the intervention agency shall pay to the distiller before 30 May 1997 the difference between the Community aids and the aids for Austria for the quantities delivered,
- the distiller shall pay to the producer the difference between the Community prices and the prices for Austria for the quantities delivered before the above date.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas certain fodder stocks produced during the 1994/95 marketing year did not leave certain processing undertakings before 31 March 1995; whereas those stocks should be allowed to leave the stores of the processing undertakings and qualify for the aid provided for in Regulation (EC) No 603/95 on the basis of a simplified procedure during the current marketing year while being accounted for as part of the national guaranteed quantities allocated to the Member States concerned for the 1995/96 marketing year;

Whereas, by letter dated 23 July 1982, Italy requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Nicolet - Evoked Potential System, model CA-1000', ordered on 29 September 1980 and intended for use in the examination of pathogenetic theories on evolutive dyslexia and on evolutive dysphasia, in the examination of the correlations between neuropsychological disturbances and neurological damage and, in particular, in the recording of the cerebral potentials evoked, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 15 December 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a clinical system;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
