In view of the very large harvest in 2005/2006, certain Member States are experiencing practical difficulties in completing the distillation by the deadlines laid down. Those deadlines should therefore be extended.\n(2)\nArticle 63a of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 concerning the distillation of wine into potable alcohol fixes a percentage of production which producers may offer for this type of distillation. That percentage should be fixed for the 2006/2007 wine year.\n(3)\nRegulation (EC) No 1623/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(4)\nTo ensure continuity of operations by the producers concerned, this Regulation should apply from 16 July 2006.\n(5)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
