Article 1

Objective

►M14 1. ◄ The objective of this Annex shall be to facilitate trade between the Parties in plants, plant products and other objects subject to plant-health measures, originating in their respective territories or imported from third countries and listed in Appendix I to be drawn up by the Committee in accordance with Article 11 of the Agreement.

▼M14

2. By way of derogation from Article 1 of the Agreement, this Annex shall apply to all plants, plant products and other objects listed in Appendix 1, as referred to in paragraph 1.

▼B

Article 2

Principles

1. The Parties note that they have similar legislation concerning protective measures against the introduction and propagation of harmful organisms by plants, plant products or other objects having equivalent results in terms of protection against the introduction and propagation of organisms harmful to plants or plant products listed in Appendix 1 as provided for in Article 1. The same is also true of plant-health measures taken in respect of plants, plant products and other objects introduced from third countries.

2. The legislation referred to in paragraph 1 shall be listed in Appendix 2 to be drawn up by the Committee in accordance with Article 11 of the Agreement.

▼M14

3. The Parties mutually recognise the plant passports issued by the organisations that have been approved by the respective Authorities. A list of these organisations, as regularly updated, can be obtained from the Authorities listed in Appendix 3. Such passports shall attest conformity with their legislation as listed in Appendix 2 as provided for in paragraph 2 and shall be deemed to meet the documentary requirements laid down therein for the movement on the respective Parties' territories of plants, plant products and other objects listed in Appendix 1 as provided for in Article 1.

▼B

4. Plants, plant products and other objects as listed in Appendix 1 as provided for in Article 1 which are not subject to the plant passport arrangements applying to trade within the two Parties' territories may be traded between the two Parties without any plant passport, without prejudice, however, to other documents required under the Parties' respective laws, and in particular documents forming part of a system for tracing the origins of such plants, plant products and other objects to origin.

Article 3

1. Plants, plant products and other objects not explicitly listed in Appendix 1 as provided for in Article 1 and not subject to plant-health measures in either Party may be traded between them without documentary, identity, or plant-health checks in connection with plant-health measures.

2. Where either Party intends to adopt a plant-health measure in respect of plants, plant products and other objects referred to in paragraph 1, it shall inform the other Party.

3. Pursuant to Article 10(2), the Working Group on Plant Health shall assess the consequences for this Annex of changes in accordance with paragraph 2 with a view to proposing any amendments to the relevant appendices.

Article 4

Regional requirements

1. Each Party may lay down, by reference to similar criteria, specific requirements concerning movements of plants, plant products and other objects, regardless of their origin, within and to zones in its territory, where warranted by the plant-health situation in those zones.

2. Appendix 4, to be drawn up by the Committee in accordance with Article 11 of the Agreement, shall define the zones as referred to in paragraph 1 and the specific requirements relating thereto.

Article 5

Checks on imports

1. Each Party shall carry out plant-health sampling checks at a rate not exceeding a certain percentage of consignments of plants, plant products and other objects listed in Appendix 1 as provided for in Article 1. That percentage, to be proposed by the Working Group on Plant Health and set by the Committee, shall be determined by plant, plant product or other object in accordance with the plant-health risk. On the date of entry into force of this Annex, that percentage shall be 10 %.

2. Pursuant to Article 10(2) of this Annex, the Committee, acting on a proposal by the Working Group on Plant Health, may decide to reduce the rate of checks provided for in paragraph 1.

3. Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply only to plant-health checks of trade in plants, plant products and other objects between the two Parties.

4. Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply subject to Article 11 of the Agreement and Articles 6 and 7 of this Annex.

Article 6

Safeguard measures

Safeguard measures shall be taken in accordance with the procedures provided for in Article 10(2) of the Agreement.

Article 7

Derogations

1. If either Party intends to apply derogations with respect to part or all of the territory of the other Party, it shall inform the latter in advance, indicating its reasons. Without prejudice to the possibility of bringing the planned derogations into force immediately, consultations shall be held as soon as possible between the two Parties with a view to finding appropriate solutions.

2. If either Party applies derogations with respect to part of its territory or a third country, it shall inform the other Party in advance, indicating its reasons. Without prejudice to the possibility of bringing the planned derogations into force immediately, consultations shall be held as soon as possible between the two Parties with a view to finding appropriate solutions.

Article 8

Joint checks

1. Each Party shall agree to joint checks being carried out at the request of the other Party to assess the plant-health situation and measures having equivalent results as provided for in Article 2.

2. ‘Joint checks’ means a check conducted at the border to verify compliance with plant-health requirements of a consignment from either Party.

3. Such checks shall be carried out in accordance with the procedure adopted by the Committee on a proposal from the Working Group on Plant Health.

Article 9

Exchange of information

1. Pursuant to Article 8 of the Agreement, the Parties shall exchange all relevant information on the implementation and application of their laws, regulations and administrative provisions covered by this Annex and the notifications referred to in Appendix 5.

2. With a view to ensuring equivalence in application of the detailed rules for applying the legislation covered by this Annex, each Party shall, at the request of the other, agree to visits of experts from the latter on its territory, to be arranged in cooperation with the official plant-health organisation responsible for the territory concerned.

Article 10

Working Group on Plant Health

(1) In Switzerland, the traditional expressions of the European Union listed in Appendix 4, Part A:

(a) shall not be used for the description or presentation of wine originating in Switzerland; and

(b) may not be used for the description or presentation of wine originating in the European Union other than in relation to the wines of the origin and the category and in the language as listed in the Appendix and subject to the conditions laid down by the laws and regulations of the European Union.

In the European Union, the traditional expressions of Switzerland listed in Appendix 4, Part B:

(4) If traditional expressions listed in Appendix 4 are homonymous, protection shall be granted to each of the traditional expressions, provided that they are used in good faith and that, in practical conditions of use fixed by the Contracting Parties within the framework of the Committee, the fair and equitable treatment of the producers concerned is ensured and consumers are not misled.

(5) Where a traditional expression listed in Appendix 4 is homonymous with the name used for a wine-sector product not originating in the territory of one of the Parties, the latter name may be used to describe and present a wine-sector product, provided it is traditionally and consistently used, its use for that purpose is regulated by the country of origin and consumers are not misled about the exact origin of the wine concerned.

(6) This Annex shall in no way prejudice the right of any person to use, in the course of trade, that person’s name or the name of that person’s predecessor in business, except where such name is used in such a manner as to mislead the consumer.

(7) The registration of a trademark for a wine-sector product within the meaning of Article 2 which contains or consists of a traditional expression referred to in Appendix 4 shall, pursuant to the law of each Party, be refused or refused in part, either as a matter of course or at the request of an interested party, where the trademark in question does not concern wine-sector products that originate from the geographical area associated with the aforementioned traditional expression.

A trademark, the use of which corresponds to the situation referred to in the previous paragraph, which was applied for and registered in good faith in one Party (including the Member States of the Union) before the date of protection of the other Party’s traditional expression under this Annex, may continue to be used if this option is provided for in the relevant legislation of the Party concerned.

(4) The measures and proceedings referred to in paragraph 3 shall be taken in particular in the following cases:
