15.12.2001 Official Journal of the European Communities L 331/25 COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2464/2001 of 14 December 2001 amending Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms 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 ('), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2826/2000 (3), and in particular Articles 26, 33, 36 and 37 thereof, Whereas: (1)  Articles 52 to 57 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 (%), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2047/2001 (%, lay down rules on wine obtained from grapes of varieties classified as both wine-grape varieties and varieties for other uses. Those rules must be adjusted to the real situation currently applying on the market and must be brought up to date. (2)  Regulation (EC) No 14931999 provides that the part of such wine not regarded as normally produced should be distilled. To avoid any doubt in application, the defini- tion of that quantity should also be laid down explicitly. (3)  As regards wine obtained from grapes of varieties classi- fied as both wine-grape varieties and varieties for the production of spirits distilled from wine with a designa- tion of origin, the quantity of such wine regarded as normally produced is to be adjusted in some regions to take account of the significant fall in production of spirits distilled from wine in those regions. However, that adjustment is limited to two wine years because it is planned to conduct an in-depth study of the operation of this system in the regions concerned. (4)  As regards regions that are major producers of these wines and, as a result, are likely to distil large quantities of wine, in order to facilitate the operation of the system and control at Community level, the quantity of wine to be distilled should be determined at regional level and details of proper application of the obligation to distil by individual producers left to the Member States. In that case, firstly, distillation should therefore not be triggered () O] L 179, 14.7.1999, p. 1. () O] L 328, 23.12.2000, p. 2. () O] L 194, 31.7.2000, p. 45.

(5) Lastly, some articles need to be reworded. (6)  Since the measures provided for do not affect the rights of the operators concerned and must cover the entire wine year, they must be implemented from the begin- ning of the current wine year. (7)  The Management Committee for Wine has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 Articles 52 to 57 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 are replaced by the following: ‘Article 52 Determination of quantity normally produced 1. In the case of wine obtained from grapes of varieties classified as both wine-grape varieties and varieties for other uses as referred to in Article 28 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, the total quantity normally produced shall be determined for each region concerned. The total quantity normally produced shall comprise: — wine products intended for the production of table wine and wine suitable for yielding table wine, — must intended for the production of concentrated must and rectified concentrated must for the purposes of enrichment, — must intended for the production of liqueur wines with a designation of origin, — wine products for the production of spirits distilled from wine with a designation of origin.
