The purpose of this article is to compare, though briefly, the Spanish and
Communily's grape and wine subsectors, remarking its similarities and structural
differences as well as the regulations that rule the functioning of both of
them. A second objective ofthe study is to emphasize the probable consequences
or impact resulting the Spanish integration.
In principie it might appear that, considering certain differences in the grape
and wine policies, the Spanish adhesion to the Community would result in a
serious imbalance for sorne or both parties. However, as it is analysed in the
article, the differences between the Spanish and the Community's grape and
wine subsectors are not so great that the difficulties that today are interposed to
the integration could not be overcome. For this reason, it is important that during
the transitional period both suhsectors make the transformations that already
at the present moment are considered necessary.
In this connection it is worth remarking that although in the E. E. C. to a
certain extent already have been programmed the public actions to be undertaken
during thefive year period 1980-85.for the reconversion of part of the grape
and wine subsector of the Community, in Spain the repertory of initiatives, in
the way of a change of orientation in the grape and wine policy, has not yet
begun to show up but dimly in the negociation and in the final articulation of
the price table for the year 1982-83.
