    COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1895/2004

    of 29 October 2004

    opening public sales of wine alcohol for use as bioethanol in the Community

    THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

    Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

    Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 33 thereof,

    Whereas:

    (1)

    Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms (2) lays down, among other things, detailed rules for disposing of stocks of alcohol obtained from distillation pursuant to Articles 27, 28 and 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 and held by the intervention agencies.

    (2)

    Public sales of wine alcohol for use in the fuel sector in the Community should be organised in accordance with Articles 92 and 93 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 with a view to reducing Community stocks of wine alcohol and to some extent ensuring supplies to firms approved in accordance with Article 92 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000. The wine alcohol of Community origin in storage in the Member States consists of quantities produced from distillation in accordance with Articles 35, 36 and 39 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organisation of the market in wine (3), and in accordance with Articles 27, 28 and 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999.

    (3)

    Since 1 January 1999, in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro (4), the selling price and securities must be expressed, and payments made, in euro.

    (4)

    Given that there are risks of fraud by substitution of alcohol, checks on the final destination of the alcohol should be reinforced and the intervention agencies should be allowed to call on the help of international control agencies and to check the alcohol sold by means of nuclear magnetic resonance analyses.

    (5)

    The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,

    HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

    Article

    1.   Seven lots of alcohol (references 35/2004 EC, 36/2004 EC, 37/2004 EC, 38/2004 EC, 39/2004 EC, 40/2004 EC and 41/2004 EC) comprising 100 000 hectolitres, 50 000 hectolitres, 50 000 hectolitres, 100 000 hectolitres, 100 000 hectolitres, 50 000 hectolitres and 30 000 hectolitres respectively at 100 % vol are hereby put up for public sale for use in the fuel sector within the Community.

    3.   The location and references of the vats making up the lots, the quantity of alcohol in each vat, the alcoholic strength and the characteristics of the alcohol are as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

    4.   The lots shall be awarded to firms approved in accordance with Article 92 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000.

    Article 7

    Against payment of EUR 10 per litre and within 30 days of the publication of the notice of public sale, the firms approved in accordance with Article 92 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 may obtain samples of the alcohol put up for sale from the intervention agency concerned. After that date, samples may be obtained in accordance with Article 98(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000. Samples issued to the approved firms shall amount to not more than five litres per vat.

    Article 8

    The intervention agencies in the Member States in which the alcohol put up for sale is stored shall carry out appropriate checks to verify the nature of the alcohol at the time of end-use. To that end, they may:

    (a)

    (b)
