- (DE) Mijnheer de commissaris, denkt de Commissie, met het oog op de enorme wijnoogst van 140 miljoen hectoliter en met het oog op de in 2000 van kracht wordende nieuwe wijnmarktordening, nog na over de mogelijkheid verplichte distillatie te gebruiken om de markt soelaas te bieden?
– (DE) Commissioner, in view of the enormous wine harvest, which yielded 140 million hectolitres, and in view of the wine market regulations that are to enter into force this year, has the Commission had any more thoughts – this being the last year when we will have this option – about using obligatory distillation as a means of relieving pressure on the market, or does the Commission not take the view that this would be the subject of a further instrument?
