Until now, those rules have been contained in a large number of Community regulations. In the interests of both economic operators in the Community and the authorities responsible for applying Community rules, all those provisions should be brought together in a single text, and the Commission Regulations regarding subjects now covered by this Regulation should be repealed, namely: Regulation (EEC) No 3388/81 of 27 November 1981 laying down special detailed rules in respect of import and export licences in the wine sector (°), as last amended by Regulation (EQ) No 2739/1999 (*); Regulation (EEC) No 3389/81 of 27 November 1981 laying down detailed rules for export refunds in the wine sector (°), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2730/95 (°); Regulation (EEC) No 3590/85 of 18 December 1985 on the certificate and analysis report required for the importation of OJ L 179, 14.7.1999, p. 1. %) OJ L 328, 23.12.2000, p. 2.

This Regulation should include the current rules and should adapt them to the new requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999. Those rules should also be simplified and made more coherent and certain gaps should be filled in. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 lays down common detailed rules for applying the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (*2). Those rules should be supplemented by rules specific to the wine sector, particularly as regards presenting applications and the information which should appear in licence applications and licences. Under Article 59(1) of Regulation (EC) No 14931999, all imports into the Community are subject to presentation of an import licence. The grant of all export refunds should be subject to presentation of an export licence.
