Pending a more radical change to the aid scheme in the context of the reform of the common organisation of the market in wine scheduled for the 2008/2009 wine year, this derogation should be extended until the end of the 2007/2008 wine year.\n(2)\nThe fourth subparagraph of Article 52(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 provides for a derogation from the distillation arrangements for wine obtained from grapes of varieties classified as both wine-grape varieties and varieties for the production of spirits distilled from wine with a designation of origin for the 2001/2002 to 2006/2007 wine years. The derogation concerns the volume of the ‘quantity normally produced’. Pending a more radical change to these arrangements in the context of the reform of the common organisation of the market in wine scheduled for the 2008/2009 wine year, this derogation should be extended until the end of the 2007/2008 wine year.\n(3)\nThe first subparagraph of Article 63a(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 fixes a percentage of production which producers may offer for the distillation of wine into potable alcohol. This percentage should be fixed for the 2007/2008 wine year.\n(4)\nRegulation (EC) No 1623/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(5)\nSince the new wine year begins on 1 August 2007, this Regulation should apply from that date.\n(6)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
