THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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 (EC) No 1891/94 (2), and in particular Articles 35 (8), 36 (6) and 39 (9) thereof,

Whereas Article 17 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 441/88 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2587/94 (4), and Article 13 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3105/88 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3186/92 (6), lay down 30 November 1994 as the final date for delivery by the distiller to the intervention agency of alcohol held in 1993/94; whereas, in view of the current difficulties encountered by the Greek intervention agency in finding adequate storage capacity to deal with the large quantities offered by Greek distillers, that date should be postponed by two months to permit the Greek authorities to rectify the situation;

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