fixing the export refunds on wine
mined on the basis of the most advantageous export
prices ; whereas the prices referred to in Article 3 (2)

Whereas the international trade situation or the

Whereas there is at present scope for economically
significant exports of concentrated grape musts, table
wines other than of type R III and rose table wines
from the Portugieser variety ;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of Commission Regula

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

(EEC) No 3082/82 (2), and in particular Article 20 (4)
thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 20 of Regulation (EEC)
No 337/79, to the extent necessary to enable the

refund ; whereas, however, refunds may be granted

refunds applicable to liqueur wines, account should be
taken of the difference between Community prices
