COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 382/2007

of 4 April 2007

amending Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 laying down certain rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 as regards the description, designation, presentation and protection of certain wine sector products

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 53 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Certain amendments need to be made to Commission Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 (2) on account of the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union.

(2) Article 28 of Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 provides for rules specific to table wines with a geographical indication, and lists the terms used in the different regions of the Member States to describe such wines. This list has to be adapted by the appropriate terms used by Bulgaria and Romania.

(3) The list of the traditional specific terms, set up in Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 753/2002, and the list of the additional traditional terms, referred to in Article 23 of that Regulation, have to be adapted by the appropriate terms used by Bulgaria and Romania.

(4) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 lists vine varieties and their synonyms that include a geographical indication and that may appear on the labelling of wines. That Annex has to be adapted by the appropriate terms that have been used by Bulgaria and Romania at the date of application of this Regulation.

(5) The name ‘Tokaj’ designates a ‘quality wine produced in a specified region’originating in a cross border region of Hungary and Slovakia and is also part of the Italian and French vine variety designations: ‘Tocai italico’, ‘Tocai friulano’ and ‘Tokay pinot gris’. The co-existence of these three vine variety designations and the geographical indication is limited in time, until 31 March 2007 and results from the bilateral agreement of 23 November 1993 between the European Community and Republic of Hungary, which has become part of the acquis since 1 May 2004. As from 1 April 2007, these three vine varieties designations are removed from Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 753/2002, and as far as the vine variety designation ‘Tocai friulano’ is concerned, it is now replaced by the new vine variety designation ‘Friulano’.

(6) Finally, Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 lists the traditional terms which appear or may appear on the labelling of wines. That Annex has to be adapted in order to take into account, on one hand, new traditional terms from Cyprus and, on the other hand, traditional terms used by Bulgaria and Romania.

(7) Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
