COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 436/2009

of 26 May 2009

laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 as regards the vineyard register, compulsory declarations and the gathering of information to monitor the wine market, the documents accompanying consignments of wine products and the wine sector registers to be kept



THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 of 29 April 2008 on the common organisation of the market in wine, amending Regulations (EC) No 1493/1999, (EC) No 1782/2003, (EC) No 1290/2005, (EC) No 3/2008 and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2392/86 and (EC) No 1493/1999 ( 1 ), and in particular Article 115(2) and Article 121 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 amended the previous wine-sector arrangements, as laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine ( 2 ), and repealed Council Regulation (EEC) No 2392/86 of 24 July 1986 establishing the Community vineyard register ( 3 ) with effect from 1 August 2009.

(2)

The compulsory information and the provisions relating to the updating and monitoring of the wine register are at present laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2392/86 and the detailed implementing rules relating to the keeping of the vineyard register are laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 649/87 ( 4 ).

(3)

Article 108 of Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 makes provision for certain Member States to keep a vineyard register containing up-to-date information about production potential.

(4)

Regulation (EEC) No 649/87 should therefore be repealed and detailed implementing rules in respect of the vineyard register should be adopted.

(5)

The main objectives of the vineyard register are the monitoring and verification of production potential. Pursuant to Article 116 of Regulation (EC) No 479/2008, Member States are required to ensure that those administration and control procedures which relate to areas are compatible with the Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS). In particular, the identification of the wine producers and the vineyard parcels cultivated must be compatible with the IACS.

(6)

To avoid excessive administrative burdens without undermining the objectives of the vineyard register, the gathering of information from producers with a very limited production should not be made compulsory.

(7)

To ensure the practical use of the vineyard register, the information required in it should be consistent with the communications required pursuant to Title IV, production potential, of Commission Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 ( 5 ) laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 as regards support programmes, trade with third countries, production potential and on controls in the wine sector.

(8)

To ensure consistency between the wine-growing data available, certain data collected within the framework of Council Regulation (EEC) No 357/79 of 5 February 1979 on statistical surveys of areas under vines ( 6 ) should be included in the vineyard register, and in particular the data concerning the year in which the vineyard parcel was planted.

(9)

To ensure that the information contained in the vineyard register consistently tallies with the actual wine-growing situation, it should be constantly updated and regularly verified.

(10)

Article 111 of Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 states that producers of grapes intended for winemaking and producers of must and wine must make harvest declarations each year in respect of the most recent harvest and that producers of wine and must and commercial operators other than retailers must declare their stocks each year. That Article also stipulates that the Member States may also require grape merchants to declare the quantities of grapes marketed.

(11)

To facilitate the processing of data relating to declarations, each declaration presented in a competent administrative unit should be considered separately from any others that the same producer may have presented in other administrative units in the Member State.

(12)

However, producers who may provide all the necessary information required in a single declaration of wine production need not make two declarations. Very small producers may be exempted from making declarations as their total production accounts for a very small percentage of Community production.

(13)

Provision should also be made to require operators selling wine products before the dates specified for declarations to make declarations.

(14)

In order to facilitate market management operations, a time limit should be laid down for making declarations. Since harvesting takes place at different times in different Member States, the deadlines for declarations by producers should be staggered.

(15)

In order to facilitate the application of this Regulation, the particulars which must be given in the declarations should be laid down here in tabular form while the Member States should be allowed to decide on the form in which operators are to provide them.

(16)

The use of computerised procedures is gradually replacing the manual input of data in the different areas of administrative activity. It should therefore also be possible to use computerised and electronic procedures for compulsory declarations.

(17)

The Member States with a complete vineyard register should be allowed to use certain data, such as area. It is therefore desirable to exempt producers from declaring the area in some circumstances.

(18)

Member States in which the area under vines does not exceed 500 hectares and wine production does not exceed 50 000 hectolitres should be empowered to exclude certain information from the declarations and exempt producers from submitting one or other declarations in circumstances to be determined.

(19)

The dates by which the information gathered has to be centralised at national level should be adopted.

(20)

Harvest and stock declarations submitted by the various parties concerned are currently the only means of properly knowing the quantities of wine produced and wine stocks. Appropriate steps therefore need to be taken to ensure that declarations are presented by the parties concerned and are complete and accurate by providing for penalties where declarations are not forthcoming or are false or incomplete when presented.

(21)

For the same reason, it is essential that the dates by which the information gathered concerning the compulsory declarations has to be forwarded to the Commission, and the form that this forwarding must take should be adopted.

(22)

Certain information must be available on the wine market to ensure that it can be monitored. In addition to the data provided in the summaries of the various declarations, information on wine supplies, utilisation and prices is essential. The Member States should therefore be required to gather this information and send it to the Commission on certain fixed dates.

(23)

Certain Member States may be exempted from communicating prices as their total production accounts for a comparatively small percentage of Community production.

(24)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1282/2001 ( 7 ) laying down detailed rules as regards the gathering of information to identify wine products and to monitor the wine market should therefore be repealed.

(25)

For the purposes of the single Community market, the authorities responsible for monitoring the holding and marketing of wine products should be provided with the necessary instruments for carrying out effective controls in accordance with uniform rules applicable throughout the Community.

(26)

Pursuant to Article 112(1) of Regulation (EC) No 479/2008, wine products can be put into circulation within the Community only with an officially authorised accompanying document. Under Article 112(2) natural or legal persons who hold wine products are to be obliged to keep goods inwards and outwards registers in respect of those products.

(27)

Progress on tax harmonisation was achieved by means of Council Directive 92/12/EEC of 25 February 1992 on the general arrangements for products subject to excise duty and on the holding, movement and monitoring of such goods ( 8 ). To establish uniform rules applicable within the Community and simplify administrative formalities for professionals and the general public, it is appropriate that documents accompanying consignments of wine products for the purposes of applying tax regulations should also be regarded as recognised accompanying documents.

(28)

The carriage of wine products not subject to the abovementioned tax formalities and consignments of wine products from small producers should be accompanied by a document to enable the competent authorities to monitor the movement of such products. Any commercial document containing at least the details necessary for identifying the product and for tracking its movements may be recognized for that purpose.

(29)

In order not to cause unnecessary administrative burdens for carriers, no accompanying document should be required for consignments of certain wine products transported over short distances or in small quantities in small containers.

(30)

Paper documents are gradually being replaced as a result of the growing computerisation of operators’ administrative activities. It is therefore desirable to computerise the drawing-up and use of accompanying documents and registers as well.

(31)

Supplementary documents, in particular export declarations, are required for exports of wine products in addition to the accompanying documents. Additional procedures should therefore be laid down for drawing up and validating these documents.

(32)

The monitoring of wine products transported in bulk requires particular care since such products are more susceptible to fraudulent practices than are labelled, bottled products fitted with a non-reusable closing device. Additional information and prior validation of the accompanying document should be required in such cases.

(33)

To facilitate controls by the competent authorities, a reference to document VI 1 should be required in the documents accompanying consignments of third-country products placed in free circulation.

(34)

The abovementioned provisions concerning the drawing-up of accompanying administrative documents and the simplified accompanying document refer to rules on the certification of the origin and quality of certain types of wine. The rules for such certification should therefore be laid down. Rules must also be laid down for the certification of the origin of certain wines for carriage not subject to tax formalities, in particular for export. In order to simplify administrative formalities for individuals and to remove the burden of routine tasks from the competent authorities, provision should be made for the latter to authorise consignors fulfilling certain conditions to enter the wording certifying the origin of the wine in the accompanying document, without prejudice to completion of the relevant checks.

(35)

Provision should be made for the measures to be taken by the competent authorities in the case of carriage by a consignor who has committed a serious offence or in the case of unlawful carriage, care being taken to ensure that the regularisation of such carriage does not delay transport unduly.

(36)

In order to ensure that by consulting the registers the competent authorities are able effectively to monitor the movement and stocking of wine products, in particular in the course of cooperation between those authorities in the different Member States, the rules concerning the keeping of records should be harmonised at Community level.

(37)

The obligations relating to registers may cause disproportionate administrative burdens for certain operators. Therefore, Member States should be able to exempt those producers from certain requirements.

(38)

The substances used in certain oenological practices, especially enrichment, acidification and sweetening, are particularly open to the danger of fraudulent use. Records must therefore be kept concerning those substances to enable the competent authorities to supervise their movement and use.

(39)

Monitoring of sparkling wines and liqueur wines requires special attention since other products are added to them. Supplementary information should therefore be provided in addition to the registers.

(40)

The accompanying document for the carriage of wine products laid down by Community rules is a very useful source of information for the bodies responsible for ensuring compliance with Community and national rules in the wine sector. Member States should be allowed to lay down additional rules for the purpose of applying this Regulation for carriage beginning on their own territory.

(41)

Article 18(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 884/2001 of 24 April 2001 laying down detailed rules of application concerning the documents accompanying the carriage of wine products and the records to be kept in the wine sector ( 9 ), introduced the possibility for the Member States to lay down additional or specific provisions for the products in question in circulation on their territory. One provision permits the replacement of the indication of the mass of grape must by volume by the indication of density expressed in degrees Oechsle by 31 July 2010. This traditional practice is used mainly by small agricultural producers who still need several years to adopt the new rules on density. It is therefore appropriate to extend this derogation, while repealing Regulation (EC) No 884/2001.

(42)

It is desirable that Member States communicate to the Commission the names and addresses of the bodies responsible for conferring the entitlement in respect of the accompanying documents and registers, so as to enable the Commission to forward this information to the other Member States.

(43)

Information necessary for the verification and auditing of the implementation of the provisions of this Regulation should be retained by Member States for inspection for an appropriate period.

(44)

Provision should be made for resolving cases of obvious error, force majeure and other exceptional circumstances to ensure fair treatment of carriers. Rules for artificially created situations should be provided for in order to avoid any benefit being derived from such situations.

(45)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

(b) harvesters whose holdings comprise less than 0,1 hectares of area under vines and no part of whose harvest has been or will be marketed in any form whatsoever;

(c) harvesters whose holdings comprise less than 0,1 hectares of area under vines and who deliver their entire harvested production to a cooperative winery or group to which they belong or with which they are associated.

In the case where subparagraph (c) applies, the harvesters must submit to the cooperative winery or group a declaration stating:

(a) the name and address of the wine-grower;

(b) the quantity of grapes delivered;

(c) the size and location of the areas under vines concerned.

The cooperative winery or group shall check the accuracy of the data contained in this declaration against the information at its disposal.

3.  By way of derogation from paragraph 1, and without prejudice to the obligations resulting from Article 9, Member States may exempt from the obligation to submit harvest declarations:

(a) harvesters who themselves process the whole of their harvest of grapes into wine or have it processed into wine on their behalf;

(b) harvesters associated with or belonging to a cooperative winery or group who deliver the whole of their harvest to that cooperative winery or group as grapes and/or must, including the harvesters referred to in Article 9(3).

Article 9

2.  The harvesters referred to in Article 8(2) and producers who obtain, by winemaking on their premises using products bought in, less than 10 hectolitres of wine which has not been or will not be marketed in any form whatsoever shall not be required to submit a production declaration.

3.  Exemption from the obligation to submit a production declaration shall also be granted to harvesters belonging to or associated with a cooperative winery that is required to submit a declaration, who deliver their production of grapes to that winery but reserve the right to obtain by winemaking a quantity of wine of less than 10 hectolitres for their family consumption.

4.  In the case of natural or legal persons or groups of such persons who market products upstream of wine, the Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that producers required to submit declarations are able to obtain the various data that they must give in the declarations.

Article 10

Treatment and/or marketing declarations

1.  Member States may lay down that natural or legal persons or groups of such persons, including cooperative wineries, who, before the date specified in Article 16(1), have treated and/or marketed products upstream of wine for the current wine year shall submit a treatment and/or marketing declaration to the competent authorities.

2.  Exemption from the obligation to submit a treatment and/or marketing declaration shall be granted to harvesters belonging to or associated with a cooperative winery that is required to submit a declaration, who deliver their production of grapes to that winery but reserve the right to obtain by winemaking a quantity of wine of less than 10 hectolitres for their family consumption.

Natural or legal persons or groups of such persons other than private consumers and retailers shall submit each year to the competent authorities in the Member States a stock declaration for grape must, concentrated grape must, rectified concentrated grape must and wine which they hold at 31 July, containing at least the information set out in Annex V. Community wine products produced from grapes harvested during the same calendar year shall not be included in this declaration.

However, Member States whose annual wine production does not exceed 50 000 hectolitres may exempt traders other than retailers who hold small stocks from the obligation to make the declarations provided for in the first subparagraph, provided that the competent authorities are in a position to give the Commission a statistical assessment of those stocks held in the Member State.



CHAPTER II

Common provisions

Article 12

Forms

1.  Member States shall draw up the model forms for the various declarations and shall ensure that the said forms contain at least the information specified in Annexes II, III, IV and V.

The forms may be issued and used using computerised systems in accordance with any detailed rules laid down by the competent authorities in the Member States.

2.  The forms referred to above need not include an explicit reference to the area if the Member State is able to determine this with certainty from the other information contained in the declaration, such as the area in production and the total harvest of the holding, or from information in the vineyard register.

3.  The information contained in the declarations referred to in paragraph 1 shall be centralised at national level.

Article 13

Relationship with the vineyard register

By way of derogation from Articles 8 and 9 of this Regulation and from Annexes II and IV thereto, Member States which have, in accordance with Article 108 of Regulation (EC) No 479/2008, established an annually updated vineyard register or similar administrative control instrument may exempt the natural or legal persons, groups of such persons or harvesters referred to in those Articles from the obligation to declare the area.

In such cases the competent authorities of the Member States shall themselves complete the declarations by indicating the area on the basis of the data in the vineyard register.

Article 14

Exemptions

1.  Member States whose wine-growing area does not exceed 500 hectares and which have obtained some of the information to be included in the declarations referred to in Articles 8, 9 and 10 from other administrative instruments may omit that information from those declarations.

Member States whose wine-growing area does not exceed 500 hectares and which have obtained all of the information to be included in the declarations referred to in Articles 8, 9 and 10 from other administrative instruments may exempt operators from submitting one or other of those declarations.

2.  Member States whose wine production does not exceed 50 000 hectolitres per wine year and which have obtained some of the information to be included in the declarations referred to in Article 11 from other administrative instruments may omit that information from those declarations.

Member States whose wine production does not exceed 50 000 hectolitres per wine year and which have obtained all of the information to be included in the declarations referred to in Article 11 from other administrative instruments may exempt operators from submitting those declarations.

3.  Member States which have a computerised system with which a link can be established between declarants, declared production and the vineyard parcels concerned can exempt producers from the requirement to indicate the parcel codes provided for in Annex II drawn up in accordance with Article 8. A link can, in particular, be established by means of the code for the wine-growing unit, reference to a block of parcels or a reference in the vineyard register.

Article 15

Criteria to be complied with

▼M1

1.  To convert quantities of products other than wine into hectolitres of wine, Member States may set coefficients that may vary according to different objective criteria having a bearing on the conversion. Member States shall notify the Commission of the coefficients along with the summary provided for in Article 19(1).;

▼B

2.  The quantity of wine to be entered in the production declaration provided for in Article 9 shall be the total quantity obtained on completion of the principal alcoholic fermentation, including the wine lees.

Article 16

Dates for submitting declarations

1.  The declarations referred to in Articles 8 and 9 shall be submitted not later than 15 January. However, Member States may set an earlier date or dates. They may also set a date at which the quantities held are taken into account in making declarations.

2.  The declarations referred to in Article 11 shall be submitted not later than 10 September in respect of quantities held at 31 July. However, Member States may set an earlier date or dates.

Article 17

Inspections

Member States shall introduce any inspections and measures necessary to ensure the accuracy of the declarations.

Article 18

Penalties

1.  Persons required to submit harvest, production or stock declarations who do not submit such declarations by the dates specified in Article 16 of this Regulation shall not benefit, except in cases of force majeure, from the measures provided for in Articles 12, 15, 17, 18 and 19 of Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 for the wine year in question or the following wine year.

However, if the dates set down in Article 16 of this Regulation are exceeded, but not by more than 10 working days, this shall result only in a proportional reduction in the percentage of the amounts to be paid for the wine year in question laid down by the competent body in accordance with the deadline, without prejudice to the imposition of national penalties.

2.  Except in the case of force majeure, when the declarations provided for in paragraph 1 are deemed to be incomplete or inaccurate by the competent authorities of the Member States, and when knowledge of the missing or inaccurate information is essential for proper application of the measures laid down in Articles 12, 15, 17, 18 and 19 of Regulation (EC) No 479/2008, the aid to be paid shall be reduced proportionately by an amount set by the competent body depending on the seriousness of the infringement, without prejudice to national penalties.

TITLE III

DOCUMENTS ACCOMPANYING CONSIGNMENTS OF WINE PRODUCTS AND REGISTERS TO BE KEPT IN THE WINE SECTOR



CHAPTER I

Purpose, scope and definitions

(c) under Article 33(1), provided that:

(i) the accompanying document is completed in accordance with the model laid down for:

 the accompanying administrative document, or

 the simplified accompanying document, or

 the accompanying document whose model is set out in Annex VII, or

(iii) the entries referred to in (ii) are validated by the competent authority by means of its stamp and the date and the signature of the person responsible, as applicable:

 on copies 1 and 2 where the model referred to in the first and second indents of (i) is used, or

4.  The authorisation referred to in paragraph 3 shall be granted only to consignors who habitually dispatch wines with a PDO or PGI, after it has been verified, following an initial request, that the entry and withdrawal registers are kept in accordance with Chapter III and thus enable the accuracy of the particulars in the documents to be checked.

They may cancel the authorisation, in particular where consignors no longer meet the requirements laid down in the first subparagraph or no longer offer the guarantees required.

5.  Consignors to whom the authorisation referred to in paragraph 3 is granted shall be obliged to take all necessary steps to safeguard the special stamp or the forms bearing the stamp of the competent authority or the special stamp.

(a) the reference number;

(b) the date of completion;

(c) the name and address of the authority referred to in paragraph 1 indicated on the documents under cover of which the product was transported before being exported and on which the protected designation of origin or geographical indication has been certified.

Article 33

Transport by a consignor who has committed a serious infringement

1.  Where the competent authority finds that a natural or legal person or a group of such persons who transports or has transported a wine product has committed a serious infringement of Community provisions in the wine sector or national provisions adopted pursuant thereto, or where that authority has a justified reason for suspecting such an infringement, it may require the consignor to complete the accompanying document and get this validated by the competent authority for validation.

Validation, when granted, may be linked to conditions on the future use of the product. It shall comprise the stamp, the signature of the official of the competent authority and the date.

2.  Paragraph 1 shall also apply to the transport of products whose production conditions or composition do not comply with Community or national rules.

Article 34

Unlawful transport

1.  Where it is found that a consignment requiring an accompanying document is being transported without such a document or under cover of a document containing false, erroneous or incomplete particulars, the competent authority of the Member State where this is discovered or any other agency responsible for ensuring compliance with Community and national rules in the wine sector shall take the measures necessary:

(a) to regularise such transport, either by correcting any material errors or by completing a new document;

(b) where appropriate, to penalise any irregularities in proportion to their seriousness, in particular by applying Article 33(1).

The competent authority or other agency referred to in the first subparagraph shall stamp documents corrected or completed under that provision. Regularisation of irregularities must not delay the transport operation in question for longer than is strictly necessary.

In the event of serious or repeated irregularities, the authority with territorial responsibility for the place of unloading shall inform the authority with territorial responsibility for the place of loading. In the case of transport inside the Community, such information shall be communicated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 555/2008.

2.  Where it is impossible to regularise transport operations within the meaning of the first subparagraph of paragraph 1, the competent authority or the agency that discovered the irregularity shall hold up the transport. It shall inform the consignor that the transport is being held up and of the consequences incurred. These measures may include a ban on marketing the product.

Article 35

Force majeure or unforeseen incidents

If during transport, by reason of force majeure or some unforeseen incident, a consignment for which an accompanying document is required must be split up or is wholly or partially lost, the carrier shall request the competent authority where the incident or the case of force majeure took place to make a statement of the facts.

Wherever possible, the carrier shall also notify the competent authority nearest to the place where the incident or the case of force majeure took place to enable it to take the necessary steps to regularise the transport operation in question.
