Proposal for a

COUNCIL DECISION

on the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Community and Australia on trade in wine

(presented by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

The new EC/Australia wine Agreement will, once approved, replace the 1994 Agreement.

As soon as the 1994 Agreement entered into force, further bilateral discussions were held on the basis of a built-in requirement as regards the phasing out by Australia of certain EC wine names. It was on the basis of the Council conclusions of October 2000 concerning bilateral wine Agreements that these discussions were replaced by negotiations for a new Agreement.

These negotiations have been concluded and a new draft wine Agreement between the EC and Australia was initialled by both Parties on 5 June 2007.

This conclusion of negotiations results in a balanced outcome with clear improvements to the 1994 Agreement to the benefit of each Party.

It foresees for an "ex officio" protection for each other's geographical indications and it will provide for the phasing out by Australia of the use of a number of important EU names such as Champagne and Port during the year following the entering into force of the new Agreement.

The Agreement will safeguard the EC wine labelling regime by inter alia listing the optional particulars which may be used by Australian wines, by regulating the indication of vine varieties on wine labels and by eliminating for wines originating in Australia the use of 'Hermitage' and 'Lambrusco' within one year following the entering into force of the new Agreement.

The Agreement provides for protection in Australia of EC traditional expressions. While the Australian use of some of these expressions will be phased out during a period of one year following the entering into force of the Agreement, a limited number of some other expressions will be authorised to be used by Australia under clear conditions as far as production methods are concerned.

The Agreement provides for an improvement of the oenological practices' regime, including clear time frames, and objection and arbitration procedures, as well as clearer criteria for the evaluation of new practices, including sanitary and phyto-sanitary requirements.

Australia will benefit from simplified certification procedures as provided for under EC legislation.

Following a process of verification of registered trademarks in one Party with geographical indications protected by the other Party after 1994, a limited number of trademarks in each Party may continue to be used as long as consumers are not misled as to the true origin of the wine concerned. This process of verification of registered trademarks and geographical indications has been agreed on by means of exchange of letters attached to the new Agreement.

Each Party, however, will have to carry out a further verification process of registered trademarks as new geographical indications have been introduced by each Party between the previous verification and the initialling. Annexes of geographical indications to be protected under the new Agreement will therefore have to be updated with these new geographical indications in function of the outcome of above mentioned verifications. New geographical indications introduced by the EC contain inter alia those listed by Romania and Bulgaria which, subject to the outcome of the above mentioned verification process, will be added to Annex II of the agreement before signature. The parties have identified certain issues on which further negotiations will be required. These issues are outlined in two Consolidated Negotiators' Side Letters, which do not form part of the Agreement.

Quality wine terms as referred to in Article 23

1. Quality wine terms of Australia:

Term | Conditions of use | Wine type[9] |

Cream | ‘Cream’ describes a style of Australian fortified sweet wine of not less then 5 beaume. The wine will be pale yellow to light amber in colour, rich and sweet to taste and typically with a vinous to fruity aroma. The wine can be blended from more than one vintage and typically does not exhibit age-derived characters. Ageing takes place in a variety of vessels. Fortification must be from Australian grape spirit. In addition, for the export market, the wine will be produced using the solera system, including being aged in oak barrels for at least three years. | Australian fortified wine |

Crusted / Crusting | Crusted / Crusting describes a fortified wine in which deposits may develop in the bottle. | Australian fortified wine |

Ruby | Ruby describes a style of Australian fortified wine that receives only a few years of ageing prior to bottling. At bottling the wine retains a deep ruby colour and tends to be robust in character, full bodied and fruity. The wine can be blended from more than one vintage, with a view to sustaining the primary characteristics of colour and aroma. Fortification must be from grape spirit. In addition, for the export market, the ageing of the wine will include, as a minimum, ageing in oak barrels for four months. | Australian fortified wine |

Term | Conditions of use | Wine type |

Solera | Solera describes a system of using casks/barrels containing wines of varying ages. The wines from the barrel containing the oldest mix of vintages is taken from the solera. All of the wines in the barrels of the solera then cascade in order of age and the barrel containing the youngest mix of wines refreshed with new wine. The process gives a blended product, ranging from pale straw to a dark amber colour depending on the style being produced. This process is reserved for the production of fortified wines. | Australian fortified wine |

Tawny | Tawny describes a style of Australian fortified wine that receives varying years of ageing prior to bottling. At bottling the wine has a red-gold or ‘tawny’ hue. The wines should reflect the characteristics of careful aging showing ‘developed’ rather than ‘fresh’ fruit characters. However, many show the fresh well developed ‘fruit’ characteristics of younger wine. The wine is usually blended from more than one vintage, may be matured in oak containers and reaches an optimal age before sale. Fortification must be from grape spirit. | Australian fortified wine |

Vintage | Vintage describes a style of Australian fortified wine that is produced from a single vintage year. These high quality wines are characterised by relatively long periods of bottle maturation. They are generally deep in colour, full bodied and smooth. They are entitled to bear the designation ‘vintage’ and the corresponding year. These wines are characterised by the ability to improve with age in bottle and benefit from prolonged cellaring. Such wines are aged for a minimum of twenty months prior to release. Fortification must be from Australian grape spirit. In addition, for the export market, the ageing of the wine will include, as a minimum, ageing in oak barrels for four months. | Australian fortified wine |

- wines bearing the label ‘Retsina’ and produced in Greece in conformity with the above mentioned provisions may continue to be exported to Australia.

Consolidated European Community Declaration

Australia’s use of compulsory particulars

The European Community recalls that Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 as amended, requires, among other things, the presentation of compulsory particulars to be grouped in the same visual field on the container. For wine originating in Australia, the European Community acknowledges that presentation of the compulsory particulars in a single field of vision would meet this requirement, as long as the particulars were simultaneously readable without having to turn the bottle and were clearly distinguishable from surrounding text or graphics. The European Community confirms that the compulsory particulars may be separated by text or graphics and may be presented on one or more labels within the single field of vision.

The European Community also acknowledges that Australia may, but is not required to, also present the compulsory particulars referring to the importer and the lot number in that single field of vision.

Australia’s use of certain particulars

The European Community recalls that Community regulations as provided for in Articles 34(1) and (2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 753/2002, as amended, require or permit the use of particulars as to the address of certain persons involved in the marketing of the wine to be included on a wine label. In addition, the European Community acknowledges that common English words such as ‘doctor’, ‘mountain’ and ‘sun’ etc could be used for the description and presentation of Australian wines.

Australia’s use of free terms

The European Community recalls that Community wine legislation, in particular, Annexes VII and VIII of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 as amended, regulates the conditions of use of compulsory and optional particulars on the Community market. The Community legislation allows the use of other terms than those expressly covered by the Community legislation, provided that they are accurate, there is no risk of confusion with the terms covered by the Community legislation and the operators can prove their accuracy where there is any doubt.

Consistent with this legislation, the European Community acknowledges that Australia may use terms other than those regulated by the Agreement to describe and present its wine as long as the use of the terms conforms with the rules applicable to wine producers in Australia.

Consolidated Exchange of Letters

Letter No 1

Dear Sir,

I have the honour to refer to the negotiations recently undertaken between our respective delegations for the purpose of reaching agreement between the European Community and Australia on trade in wine (‘ the Agreement ’).

Concerning the relationship between the Agreement and Article 24(1) of the TRIPs Agreement

The Contracting Parties understand that the negotiation and operation of the Agreement fulfils in respect of wine each Contracting Party’s respective obligation to the other Contracting Party in respect of Article 24(1) of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (‘ the TRIPs Agreement ’).

On the status of certain protected names

The Contracting Parties acknowledge that the provisions of the Agreement relating to traditional expressions, categories of wine, sales descriptions and quality wine terms do not in and of themselves constitute nor create intellectual property rights.

Concerning the protection of Geographical Indications

The Contracting Parties confirm their common understanding that the Agreement is without prejudice to each Contracting Party’s rights and obligations pursuant to Article 24(3) of the TRIPs Agreement.

Australia confirms that it will continue to ensure that, once a Community geographical indication protected by Australia pursuant to this Agreement is entered on the Register of Protected Names, a trademark containing or consisting of that geographical indication identifying a wine as listed in Annex II cannot be used or entered on the Register of Trademarks in relation to wine unless that wine satisfies the requirements pertaining to use of the Community geographical indication.

Australia confirms that, subject to Article 19 of the Agreement, a geographical indication listed in Article 15 of the Agreement may be used in Australia to describe and present a wine originating in the Community during the transitional period set out in that Article if the wine satisfies the requirements pertaining to use of the geographical indication.

Concerning the relationship between certain Geographical Indications and Registered Trademarks

1. As far as geographical indications protected in their respective territories after 26 January 1994 are concerned, and insofar as consumers are not misled as to the origin of the wine, the Contracting Parties agree to the following:

1.1. The trademarks "Ilya", "Lienert of Mecklenburg", "Lindauer", “Salena Estate”, and “The Bissy” registered in Australia can continue to be used in Australia.

1.2. Notwithstanding Articles 13(2) and (5) of the Agreement and the second paragraph of the Exchange of Letters 'Concerning the protection of Geographical Indications', attached to the Agreement, the trademarks "Stonehaven Limestone Coast", "John Peel", "William Peel", "Old Peel", "South Coast" and "Domaine de Fleurieu" registered in the Community and/or one or more of its Member States can continue to be used in the Community and / or in the territory of the Member State concerned.

1.3. Nothing in the Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the trademark right holders from using these trademarks elsewhere where laws and regulations so permit.

2.1. The Contracting Parties note that trademarks that do not contain or consist of a geographical indication as listed in the respective annexes to the Agreement are not affected by the provisions of Articles 13(2) and (5) of the Agreement and can therefore continue to be used as far as the Agreement is concerned.

2.2. The Contracting Parties agree on discussing this issue, if needed, in the framework of the EC/Australia Joint Committee, established by Article 30 of the Agreement.

Duration

The Contracting Parties agree that the present exchange of letters shall remain in force as long as the Agreement remains in force.

I have the honour to propose that this letter and your letter in reply confirming that the Government of Australia shares this understanding shall together constitute an Agreement between the European Community and the Government of Australia.

Your sincerely,
