grain alcohol

Voorbeeldzinnen

1. In the same period, the selling price for grain brandy through DKV was DEM 157/hl alcohol (as against DEM 93/hl for neutral alcohol).
2. Germany estimates that a distillery with an annual production of 1000 hl grain alcohol must invest at least EUR 400000 a year in marketing that quantity of alcohol.
3. In the 1976 notification, no distinction was made by type of product, i.e. between neutral alcohol and aromatic alcohol such as grain brandy.
4. In its replies to the Commission, Germany confuses grain alcohol (Kornalkohol), which under the above-mentioned conditions (see paragraph 53) can be regarded as ethyl alcohol, with the spirit drink grain brandy (Kornbranntwein).
5. Also criticised is the concept ‘grain brandy’ used by the Commission: a more appropriate name for the product delivered to DKV would be ‘raw alcohol’ or ‘grain raw alcohol’.
6. Judging by the wording of the Spirits Monopoly Law as amended by the HsanG of 22 December 1999, the German legislator has in fact treated grain alcohol and grain brandy differently, precisely because they are different products.
7. The BfB buys the alcohol at statutorily guaranteed prices, rectifies it [12] and sells it at market prices. This does not include grain brandy.
8. Grain brandy is therefore a spirit which is characterised by the presence of aromatic components, and hence cannot be regarded as ethyl alcohol.
9. It was explained above that the processing of grain brandy was organised separately from the other alcohol products of agricultural origin covered by the monopoly (see paragraphs 16 to 24).
10. For 1999/2000, the statutory purchase price which DKV had to pay the grain distilleries was DEM 263 per hl alcohol (compared with DEM 296/hl paid by the BfB to producers of other spirit).
11. Lastly, several replies argue that the aid measures could not distort competition and affect trade between Member States, since grain brandy is an alcohol that can be produced only in the German language area.
12. In the Combined Nomenclature headings mentioned in Article 1 to which the Regulation applies, spirits in the form of grain brandy are not listed, but only undenatured and denatured ethyl alcohol and denatured other spirits.
13. The majority of the basic alcohol products (distillates) delivered to the BfB are plainly intended for the manufacture of neutral alcohol which is not ready for use, while the distillates transferred to DKV (described by Germany as ‘grain fine distillate’) are distinguished by their aromatic properties and therefore suited for human consumption
14. It does not share the Commission's view at all that the grain distillates produced under the monopoly are not an agricultural product that comes under the umbrella concept of ethyl alcohol but a spirituous beverage designated as a spirit and therefore an industrial product.
15. In the final version of the Regulation, the agricultural products concerned are defined with reference to Annex I to the EC Treaty. In the Combined Nomenclature headings mentioned in Article 1 to which the Regulation applies, spirits in the form of grain brandy are not listed, but only undenatured and denatured ethyl alcohol and denatured other spirits.
