WINE-MAKING PRACTICES AND SPECIFICATIONS
Article 4
Present wine-making practices and specifications
1. Each Party recognises that the laws, regulations and requirements of the other Party relating to wine making fulfil the objectives of its own laws, regulations and requirements, in that they authorise wine-making practices that do not change the character of wine arising from its origin in the grapes in a manner inconsistent with good wine-making practices. These practices include such practices that address the reasonable technological or practical need to enhance the keeping or other qualities or stability of the wine and that achieve the winemaker's desired effect, including with respect to not creating an erroneous impression about the product's character and composition.
2. Within the scope of this Agreement as defined in Article 3, neither Party shall restrict, on the basis of either wine-making practices or product specifications, the importation, marketing or sale of wine originating in the territory of the other Party that is produced using wine-making practices that are authorised under laws, regulations and requirements of the other Party listed in Annex I and published or communicated to it by that other Party.
Article 5
New wine-making practices and specifications
1. If a Party proposes to authorise for commercial use in its territory a new wine-making practice or modify an existing wine-making practice authorised under the laws, regulations and requirements listed in Annex I, and it intends to propose the inclusion of the practice among those authorised in the Annex I documents, it shall provide public notice and specific notice to the other Party and provide a reasonable opportunity for comment and to have those comments considered.
2. If the new wine-making practice or modification referred to in paragraph 1 is authorised, the authorising Party shall notify the other Party in writing of that authorisation within 60 days.
3. A Party may, within 90 days of receiving the notification provided for in paragraph 2, object in writing to the authorised wine-making practice, on the grounds that it is inconsistent with the objectives referred to in Article 4(1) or the criteria set out in Article 3(1), and request consultations pursuant to Article 11 concerning this wine-making practice.
4. The Parties shall amend Annex I, as provided for in Article 11, as necessary to cover any new wine-making practice or modification that has not been subject to objections pursuant to paragraph 3 or for which the Parties have reached a mutually agreed solution following consultations provided for in paragraph 3. With respect to new wine-making practices or modifications to existing practices that are proposed after 14 September 2005, but before the date of application of Article 4, as provided for in Article 17(2), either Party may specify that the modification to Annex I shall not be effective until the date of application of Article 4.
TITLE III
SPECIFIC PROVISIONS

Use of certain terms on wine labels with respect to wines sold in the United States
1. With respect to wine that is sold in the territory of the United States, the United States shall seek to change the legal status of the terms in Annex II to restrict the use of the terms on wine labels solely to wine originating in the Community. Labels for such wines may use the terms in Annex II in a manner consistent with the US wine labelling regulations in force as of 14 September 2005.
2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply with respect to any person or its successor in interest using a term listed in Annex II on a label of a wine not originating in the Community, where such use has occurred in the United States before 13 December 2005, or the date of signature of this Agreement, whichever is later; provided that the term may only be used on labels for wine bearing the brand name, or the brand name and the fanciful name, if any, for which the applicable COLA was issued prior to the later date referred to in this paragraph and the term is presented on the label in accordance with the regulations in effect on 14 September 2005.
3. The United States shall notify the Community in writing of the date that the change in legal status referred to in paragraph 1 has come into effect.

Article 7
Names of origin
1. The United States shall provide that certain names may be used as names of origin for wine only to designate wines of the origin indicated by such a name, and shall include, among such names, those listed in Annex IV, Part A, names of quality wines produced in specified regions and names of table wines with geographical indications, and Part B, names of Member States.
2. The Community shall provide that the names of viticultural significance listed in Annex V may be used as names of origin for wine only to designate wines of the origin indicated by such name.
3. Each Party's competent authorities shall take measures to ensure that any wine not labelled in conformity with this Article is not placed on or is withdrawn from the market until it is labelled in conformity with this Article.

3. Neither Party shall require that processes, treatments or techniques used in wine making be identified on the label.
4. The United States shall permit the names listed in Annex II to be used as a class or type designation on wines originating in the Community.
Article 9
Wine certification and other marketing conditions

4. The United States shall permit the information on the application form referenced in paragraph 3, excluding the applicant's signature, to be pre-printed and transmitted electronically.
5. Each Party may modify its respective form, referred to in paragraphs 1 and 3, in accordance with its internal procedures, in which case the Party concerned shall give due notice to the other Party. The Parties shall amend Annex III, as necessary, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 11.

1. Nothing in this Agreement shall:
|
(a) |
affect the rights and obligations of the Parties under the WTO Agreement; |
|
(b) |
oblige the Parties to take any measures concerning intellectual property rights that would not otherwise be taken under the Parties' respective intellectual property laws, regulations and procedures, consistent with subparagraph (a). |

JOINT DECLARATIONS
In view of the entry into force of the Agreement between the European Community and the United States of America on Trade in Wine (the ‘Agreement’), the Community and the United States hereby jointly declare as follows, for so long as the Agreement remains in force.
On wine labelling dialogue
The Parties intend to engage in a constructive dialogue on wine labelling, with a view to contributing to the attainment of an agreement as provided in Article 10(1) of the Agreement. Discussions shall cover any item that either Party wishes to raise, including:
|
— |
the proportion of grapes that should derive from a place, variety or vintage year in order that references to such terms may be used on labels, with a view to agreeing to a harmonised level; |
|
— |
references to category, class or type of wine, with a view to recognising common terms; |
|
— |
the specifications, including tolerances and numerical intervals, for references to alcohol percentage, with a view to agreeing on common specifications. |
On use of terms in point 1 of Appendix I of the Protocol
When any problem arises regarding the use of a term listed in point 1 of Appendix I on US wine labels, the Parties intend to consult each other.
On future wine policy
The Parties intend to enter into a dialogue to better understand each other's wine policy, including any future policy developments. The dialogue may concern elements being discussed in the Doha Development Agenda (DDA), such as export subsidies, tariffs, domestic support and other issues under negotiation. The results of this dialogue may lead to common positions of the Parties in the DDA and could provide a useful insight into any future negotiations under Article 10 of the Agreement.
On future dialogues
The Parties intend to enter into a dialogue on geographical indications in connection with wine, with a view to better understanding each other's policy. In order to provide useful insights into any future negotiations under Article 10 of the Agreement, the Parties intend to enter into a dialogue on the matter of names of origin and the terms in Annex II of the Agreement, with a view to better understanding each other's policy and increasing recognition, as appropriate, of these names and terms in the Community and in the United States.
In addition, the Parties also intend to enter into dialogues on the following matters:
|
— |
terms referred to in Article 24 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 753/2002, as amended, with a view to coming to a better understanding of each other's positions on the use of these terms. The Parties are of the view that these terms do not constitute or create a new form of intellectual property, |
|
— |
wine not covered by the Agreement, |
|
— |
wine-making practices, |
|
— |
certification, and |
|
— |
creation of a joint committee on wine issues. |
In relation to bilateral trade
The Parties hereby declare their intention to strive, in good faith and for a reasonable period of time, to resolve any bilateral issues concerning trade in wine, including any issues arising from the operation of Commission Regulation (EC) No 753/2002, as amended, through informal bilateral consultations, rather than through formal dispute settlement mechanisms.
On international cooperation
The Parties intend to conduct an exchange of views on issues related to and raised in plurilateral and multilateral organisations involved with wine matters affecting international trade and on how international cooperation on wine matters might best be structured.
DECLARATION BY THE UNITED STATES
on the use of certain terms with respect to wines exported from the United States
In view of the entry into force of the Agreement between the United States of America and the European Community on Trade in Wine, the United States hereby declares as follows.
The members of the wine producer organisations on 1 July 2005, listed below have each agreed, in respect of the use of the terms listed in Annex II of the Agreement that, for so long as the Agreement remains in force, wine exported from the United States shall be labelled consistent with rules applicable within the territory of the United States unless such labelling is inconsistent with the requirements of the importing Party.
