COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1429/2004

of 9 August 2004

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 the 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 the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (hereinafter referred to as the new Member States) to the European Union.

(2)

With the Accession, it has become clear that the border of a wine-growing region is not necessarily within the border of one Member State and that traditional expressions can have a trans-border character. It is therefore necessary to modify the provision on traditional expressions in order to allow for the use under specific conditions of certain traditional expressions by two or more Member States.

(3)

Article 28 of Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 provides for rules specific to table wines with a geographical indication, and lists the traditional 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 the new Member States.

(4)

The lists of the traditional specific terms and of the additional traditional terms have to be adapted by the appropriate terms used by the new Member States.

(5)

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. This Annex has to be adapted by the appropriate terms that have been used by the new Member States at the date of application of this Regulation.

(6)

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

(7)

For reasons of control and in order to provide for the application of the amendments to Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 as from the date of entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, this Regulation should apply as from 1 May 2004.

(8)

In order to facilitate the transition from the wine labelling regime that existed in the new Member States before the accession to the Community rules on wine labelling, it is necessary to allow economic operators to use labels and pre-packaging material printed in conformity with the previous national provisions.

(9)

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