COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2021/1465

of 6 July 2021

amending Regulation (EU) 2019/787 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the definition of allusions to legal names of spirit drinks or geographical indications for spirit drinks and their use in the description, presentation and labelling of spirit drinks other than the spirit drinks to which allusion is made

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/787 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 on the definition, description, presentation and labelling of spirit drinks, the use of the names of spirit drinks in the presentation and labelling of other foodstuffs, the protection of geographical indications for spirit drinks, the use of ethyl alcohol and distillates of agricultural origin in alcoholic beverages, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 (1), and in particular Article 50(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EU) 2019/787 has clarified and substantially reworded certain production and labelling provisions concerning spirit drinks and foodstuffs produced by using spirit drinks as ingredients. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Regulation (EU) 2019/787 has clarified and substantially reworded certain production and labelling provisions concerning spirit drinks and foodstuffs produced by using spirit drinks as ingredients.

| (2) | In particular, the definition and conditions for the use of allusions to the legal name of one or more spirit drink categories or geographical indications for spirit drinks as laid down in Article 10(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 (2) and Article 2, point (d), of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 716/2013 (3), have been fundamentally revised by Regulation (EU) 2019/787, which repeals and replaces Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 with effect from 25 May 2021. In fact, the new corresponding provisions in Article 3(3) and Article 12 of Regulation (EU) 2019/787 allow the use of allusions only in the description, presentation and labelling of foodstuffs other than spirit drinks and of liqueurs. Consequently, any allusion in the description, presentation and labelling of spirit drinks other than liqueurs are not covered by the new provisions on allusions in Regulation (EU) 2019/787. That legislative choice was made to avoid overlapping between allusions, regulated by Article 12 of Regulation (EU) 2019/787, and mixtures, regulated by Articles 13(3) and (4) of that Regulation. Indeed, the combination of a spirit drink with another spirit drink qualifies as a mixture and should consequently not be labelled in accordance with the labelling provisions for allusions. Nonetheless, an exception was inserted in Article 12 of Regulation (EU) 2019/787 to allow allusions to other spirit drinks on liqueurs, in view to preserving the labelling of a considerable number of products that is considered as traditional and generally recognised by consumers. However, the new definition and requirements for allusions did not take into account two additional cases of traditional production methods where allusion is made to spirit drinks which are the sole alcoholic ingredient of other spirit drink or to spirit drinks in whose cask other spirit drinks have been matured, neither of which qualify as mixture. Therefore, if not regulated as allusions, those cases will become illegal under Regulation (EU) 2019/787. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In particular, the definition and conditions for the use of allusions to the legal name of one or more spirit drink categories or geographical indications for spirit drinks as laid down in Article 10(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 (2) and Article 2, point (d), of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 716/2013 (3), have been fundamentally revised by Regulation (EU) 2019/787, which repeals and replaces Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 with effect from 25 May 2021. In fact, the new corresponding provisions in Article 3(3) and Article 12 of Regulation (EU) 2019/787 allow the use of allusions only in the description, presentation and labelling of foodstuffs other than spirit drinks and of liqueurs.

However, the new definition and requirements for allusions did not take into account two additional cases of traditional production methods where allusion is made to spirit drinks which are the sole alcoholic ingredient of other spirit drink or to spirit drinks in whose cask other spirit drinks have been matured, neither of which qualify as mixture. Therefore, if not regulated as allusions, those cases will become illegal under Regulation (EU) 2019/787.

| (3) | According to Article 10(7) of Regulation (EU) 2019/787, the use of a legal name of a spirit drink category or of a geographical indication for spirit drinks in the description, presentation or labelling of any beverage not complying with the respective requirements is prohibited except in case of compound terms, allusions and ingredients lists. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

According to Article 10(7) of Regulation (EU) 2019/787, the use of a legal name of a spirit drink category or of a geographical indication for spirit drinks in the description, presentation or labelling of any beverage not complying with the respective requirements is prohibited except in case of compound terms, allusions and ingredients lists.

| (4) | In consequence and following consultation with the spirit drinks industry and the Member States, it has become clear that the rewording of the provisions on allusions results in the preclusion of the possibility to inform consumers about traditional production methods in use to produce certain spirit drinks, when such information relates to the name of other spirit drinks. Those methods consist in the use of a spirit drink as the sole alcoholic base, without the addition of other foodstuffs or dilution with water below the required alcoholic strength for further processing to become a different spirit drink, and the storage of certain spirit drinks for the full maturation period or a part thereof in wooden casks having previously contained another spirit drink. In the latter case, for those spirit drink categories or geographical indications for spirit drinks for which the addition of alcohol is prohibited, casks must be emptied of their previous contents before introducing the spirit drink that is to be subsequently matured therein. |

| (5) | Such methods have been traditionally used in the spirit drinks sector for a long time and should be covered by Regulation (EU) 2019/787. In fact, when such traditional production methods are used, their indication in the description, presentation and labelling of the corresponding spirit drinks provides consumers with important and useful information about the product they choose to purchase and consume and serves as a differentiator between different brands within categories. In particular, knowing what type of casks the spirit drink has been matured in is key to helping explain some of the complexity in that spirit drink. |

| (6) | In order to preserve the possibility for producers to provide information concerning traditional production methods, it is appropriate to amend Article 3(3) and Article 12 of Regulation (EU) 2019/787 to allow allusions to legal names of spirit drinks or geographical indications for spirit drinks in the description, presentation and labelling of other spirit drinks produced following such traditional methods. |

| (7) | Moreover, in the case of allusions to spirit drinks that were previously contained in casks subsequently used to mature other spirit drinks, the labelling provision introduced by Article 12(4), point (b), of Regulation (EU) 2019/787, requiring that the allusion is to appear in a font size which is no larger than half the font size used for the name of the alcoholic beverage and any compound term, would impose a disproportionate burden on the spirits industry, requiring thousands of labels and cartons to be changed and an unnecessary change in labelling layouts that consumers have been accustomed to for years. In addition, in many cases such a requirement would make the allusion barely visible to the naked eye unless the font size of the legal name was dramatically increased, which shouldn’t be necessary when the legal name is a simple, clear reference to one of the categories set out in Annex I to that Regulation or to the name of a geographical indication for spirit drinks where no potential confusion arises. Therefore, it is appropriate to derogate from this labelling requirement and require instead that allusions appear in a font size no larger and not more prominently than the legal name of the spirit drink and, where used, of any compound terms. |
