He proposed that the Court should rule as follows:
1.Consideration of the first question has disclosed no factor of such a kind as to affect the validity of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2541/84 of 4 September 1984 fixing a countervailing charge on imports into other Member States of ethyl alcohol of agricultural origin produced in France, as amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 644/85 of 12 March 1985.2.Regulation (EEC) No 2541/84 must be interpreted as meaning that a countervailing charge has to be levied on alcohol processed into a finished product in a free zone without being subjected to a special customs procedure and which is intended to circulate within the Community.
