17In contrast, although quality wines also fall within the scope of Regulation No 816/70, they are excluded from Title I thereof, relating to prices and intervention. The Community legislature therefore did not consider that it was necessary, in order to stabilize the market and ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community concerned, to provide for intervention measures for quality wines. It considered that it was enough to foster a policy of encouraging quality by means of the specific measures in Regulation No 817/70 in order to contribute to the improvement of conditions on the market and, as a result, to an increase in outlets as is stated in the second recital in the preamble to the regulation.
