COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION

Updating of data used to calculate lump sum and penalty payments to be proposed by the Commission to the Court of Justice of the European Union in infringement proceedings

(2022/C 74/02)

I.   Introduction

Under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), where the Commission refers a Member State to the Court of Justice of the European Union for failing to fulfil an obligation under the Treaties, the Court may impose financial sanctions in two situations:

| (a) | where the Member State has not taken the necessary measures to comply with an earlier judgment of the Court finding an infringement of EU law (Article 260(2) TFEU); |
| --- | --- |

(a)

where the Member State has not taken the necessary measures to comply with an earlier judgment of the Court finding an infringement of EU law (Article 260(2) TFEU);

| (b) | where the Member State has failed to fulfil its obligation to notify measures transposing a directive adopted under a legislative procedure (Article 260(3) TFEU) (1). |
| --- | --- |

(b)

where the Member State has failed to fulfil its obligation to notify measures transposing a directive adopted under a legislative procedure (Article 260(3) TFEU) (1).

In both cases, the sanction imposed by the Court of Justice may be composed of a lump sum payment, to penalise the continuation of the infringement (2), and a daily penalty payment, to prompt the Member State concerned to bring the infringement to an end as soon as possible after the delivery of the judgment (3). The Commission proposes amounts for the financial sanctions to the Court, which takes the final decision.

The general approach of the Commission when calculating the proposed sanctions is well-established. Since 1997 (4) and as set out in successive Communications (5), it has applied an approach that reflects both the capacity to pay of the Member State concerned and its institutional weight. This is applied through what is known as the ‘n’ factor (6). The ‘n’ factor is combined with other factors – the seriousness of the infringement, and its duration – in the Commission’s calculation of the proposed sanctions.

The calculation of the ‘n’ factor is based on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Member States, and the number of seats for representatives in the European Parliament allocated to each Member State. The method for its calculation was updated several times (7), most recently on 13 April 2021 (8), when the Commission adjusted the method following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Europan Union.

In its Communication of 2010 (9) on the updating of the data used for this calculation, the Commission established that the ‘n’ factor as well as other macroeconomic data should be adjusted every year (10), in order to take into account inflation and GDP movements.

This year’s update (11) is based on developments in the inflation and GDP of each Member State. The relevant statistics that are to be used relating to the rate of inflation and GDP are those established two years prior to the update (‘t-2 rule’), i.e. 2020, as two years is the minimum period of time necessary for gathering relatively stable macroeconomic data. The inflation rate for the reference year is set at 1.6 %.

An important factor affecting this year’s update is the COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed, the pandemic strongly impacted Member States’ GDP in 2020 with a decrease of 4.4 % at EU-27 level and varying impacts at country level, which in turn affect ‘n’ factors.

II.   Components of the update

The list of economic criteria to be updated is as follows:

| — | the standard flat-rate amount for the penalty payment (12), currently fixed at EUR 2 683 (13), to be revised in line with inflation, |
| --- | --- |

—

the standard flat-rate amount for the penalty payment (12), currently fixed at EUR 2 683 (13), to be revised in line with inflation,

| — | the standard flat-rate amount for the lump sum (14), currently fixed at EUR 895 (15), to be revised in line with inflation, |
| --- | --- |

—

the standard flat-rate amount for the lump sum (14), currently fixed at EUR 895 (15), to be revised in line with inflation,

| — | the 27 ‘n’ factors, to be revised in line with the GDP of the Member State in question, taking into account the number of seats it has in the European Parliament; the ‘n’ factor is identical for the calculation of lump sum and daily penalty payments, |
| --- | --- |

—

the 27 ‘n’ factors, to be revised in line with the GDP of the Member State in question, taking into account the number of seats it has in the European Parliament; the ‘n’ factor is identical for the calculation of lump sum and daily penalty payments,

| 1) | the standard flat rate for calculating the penalty payment is EUR 2 726; |
| --- | --- |

(1)  The 2011 Commission Communication on the implementation of Article 260(3) TFEU (OJ C 12, 15.1.2011, p. 1) and and the 2017 Commission Communication ‘EU law: Better results through better application’ (OJ C 18, 19.1.2017, p. 10.) emphasise that the Commission applies the same method as established by the 2005 Communication (Communication on the application of Article 228 of the EC Treaty (SEC(2005) 1658)) for the calculation of the financial sanctions under Article 260(3) TFEU.

(2)  Communication from the President: Re-cast Communication on the application of Article 228 of the EC Treaty (SEC(2005) 1658), point 10.3

(3)  SEC(2005) 1658, point 14.

(4)  Method of calculating the penalty payments provided for pursuant to Article 171 of the EC Treaty (OJ C 63, 28.2.1997, p. 2).

(5)  See in particular Communication from the Commission - Implementation of Article 260(3) of the Treaty (OJ C 12, 15.1.2011, p.1) and Communication from the Commission - EU law: Better results through better application (OJ C 18, 19.1.2017, p. 10).

(6)  SEC(2005) 1658, point 14. The ‘n’ factor is calculated as follows
  Image 1
  Where: GDP n = GDP of Member State concerned, in millions of euros; GDP avg = average GDP of all Member States; Seat n = number of seats of the Member State concerned in the European Parliament; Seat avg = average number of seats in European Parliament of all Member States.

(7)  Communication from the Commission - Modification of the calculation method for lump sum payments and daily penalty payments proposed by the Commission in infringements proceedings before the Court of Justice of the European Union C(2019) 1396 final (OJ C 70, 25.2.2019, p. 1).

(8)  Communication from the Commission ‘Adjustment of the calculation for lump sum and penalty payments proposed by the Commission in infringement proceedings before the Court of Justice of the European Union, following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom’ C(2021) 2283 final, (OJ C 129, 13.4.2021, p. 1).

(9)  SEC(2010) 923/3.

(10)  See updates in in 2011 [SEC(2011) 1024 final], in 2012 [C(2012) 6106 final], in 2013 [C(2013) 8101 final], in 2014 [C(2014) 6767 final], in 2015 [C(2015) 5511 final], in 2016 [C(2016) 5091 final], in 2017 [C(2017) 8720 final], in 2018 [C(2018) 5851 final], in 2019 [C(2019) 6434 final], and in 2020 [C(2020) 6043 final] for the yearly adjustment of economic data.

(11)  The GDP data for this year’s update were extracted on 10 January 2022. Inflation is measured using the implicit GDP deflator.

(12)  The amount of the daily penalty payment is calculated by multiplying the standard flat-rate amount, first by factors for seriousness and duration, and then by the ‘n’ factor.

(13)  C(2021) 2283 final.

(14)  The daily amount for the lump sum is calculated by multiplying the standard flat-rate amount (different from the one for daily penalty payments) by a factor for seriousness and the ‘n’ factor. The lump sum is then calculated based on the number of days the infringement persists (either from the first Court ruling until compliance or until judgment for cases under Article 260(2) TFEU, or from the date of transposition of the Directive until compliance or until judgment for cases under Article 260(3) TFEU). The lump sum calculated on that basis should apply when the result of the above-mentioned calculation exceeds the minimum lump sum.

(15)  C(2021) 2283 final.

(16)  The minimum fixed lump sum payment is determined for each Member State according to the special ‘n’ factor. The minimum fixed lump sum will be proposed to the Court when the summed-up daily lump sum payments do not exceed the minimum fixed lump sum.

‘Salinātā rudzu rupjmaize’ owes its specific character to its recipe and the technique used for its production.

In contrast to other types of rye bread, the recipe for ‘salinātā rudzu rupjmaize’ does not involve the use of baker’s yeast, but includes coarse rye flour, approx. 0,8 % caraway seeds, 8-16 % sugar, and up to 3 % unfermented rye malt.

The production technique is specific in that before the preparation of the dough, approx. 30 % of the rye flour is ‘sweetened’, i.e. scalded, and the scalded flour is then set aside and fermented for at least 12 hours. Moreover, the scalded flour is prepared in tubs made from deciduous wood, and after scalding the flour cools more slowly in these tubs than it would in bowls made from metal or other materials. Once the flour has been scalded with hot water (85-95 °C), it is kept at 63-65 °C for a further 2-4 hours to allow starch to be broken down into sugars, giving the product its sweet taste. In addition, microflora containing lactic acid bacteria is preserved on the sides of the tub from scalded flour fermented previously, and this gradually brings about the fermentation of lactic acid and the increasing of the scalded flour’s acidity as it cools. Lactic acid fermentation hinders the development of undesired microorganisms. The length of the process for preparing the scalded flour and ferment allows microorganisms to multiply in sufficient quantities to give the bread the required sourness, aroma and porosity, and therefore baker’s yeast is not added.

Another of the specific characteristics of Latvian ‘salinātā rudzu rupjmaize’ is that caraway seeds are added during the preparation of the scalded flour and the dough, giving the bread its special caraway-seed aroma.

Latvian ‘salinātā rudzu rupjmaize’ is also known for the elongated form of the loaf, which is at least twice as long as it is wide, with rounded ends shaped by hand, its smooth and glossy dark-brown crust, coated with starch paste, and its aromatic crumb. ‘Salinātā rudzu rupjmaize’ is baked on a hot hearth, not on baking trays or in moulds. This ensures an intensive transmission of heat, preserving the hand-shaped form of the bread and creating a larger loaf with a stronger crust.

The word ‘salināt’ means to make sweet, to sweeten, e.g. by pouring hot water onto flour (K. Karulis, Latviešu etimoloģijas vārdnīca [Etymological dictionary of the Latvian language], Vol. II, 1992). This is an ancient word, which was already in common use in the western part of Latvia in the 18th century.

The term ‘salinātā rudzu rupjmaize’ refers to bread baked from coarse rye flour, with scalded flour used in the production process, meaning that hot water is poured over part of the flour in order to impart sweetness to the bread.

In her research work Mūsu maize. Our Daily Bread (2004), ethnographer Indra Čekstere explains that in Kurzeme, ‘rye bread (rupjmaize) is known as “salinātā” maize when part of the flour has been scalded with hot water’.

The flour which is scalded in order to make ‘salinātā rudzu rupjmaize’ is coarse rye flour. Traditionally, the scalded flour is prepared in tubs made from planks of deciduous wood from aspen or lime trees, with a volume of approx. 30 l, and is mixed with a wooden spatula. Microflora preserved on the sides of the tub from previously fermented dough stimulates fermentation of lactic acid, so the tub is not washed but is carefully scraped out and kept in a dry place. Around 30 % (3 kg) of the total amount of flour used to produce the bread (10 kg) is used to make the scalded flour. The flour set aside for scalding and the caraway seeds are ‘sweetened’, i.e. scalded with water of a temperature of around 95 °C. Following this process, the temperature of the scalded flour should be around 63-68 °C.

Usually 2-2,5 times more water than flour is required. Water is added gradually so that the flour and water can be mixed more easily into a homogeneous mass with a consistency similar to that of thick cream. When the scalded flour is at a temperature of 63-65 °C, approx. 50-300 g of unfermented rye malt is added and stirred in thoroughly. The caraway seeds and malt provide the scalded flour with the caraway-seed aroma and specific sweet-and-sour taste of the product. The sweet taste is formed by the breakdown of starch into sugars by the malt, while the sour taste is given by the lactic acid and acetic acid resulting from the fermentation of lactic acid.

If the scalded flour mass is prepared correctly it should have a homogeneous texture similar to that of thick cream, and have a greyish-brown colour. Once prepared, the scalded flour should be left for 2-4 hours in the tub where it was made, ensuring that an optimum temperature (63-65 °C) is maintained so as to allow the conversion of starch into sugar. Then the scalded flour should be mixed so that it cools. The cooling and fermentation of the scalded flour takes place in the same tub over approx. 12-24 hours. When the temperature is around 36 °C, approx. 0,4-1,6 kg of ferment from the previous batch of bread is added to the scalded flour to stimulate the fermentation of lactic acid. The ferment should at first be added only to the upper part of the tub, then a couple of hours later it should be spread deeper, halfway down through the scalded flour, and finally right to the bottom. During fermentation, the scalded flour becomes slightly sour, and an agreeable sweet-and-sour taste is formed.

When the scalded flour has fermented, the dough is kneaded in a wooden kneading tub or a kneading bowl. Rye flour, sugar and salt are added to the scalded flour dough after it has fermented; up to 10 % wheat flour may be added. The dough is kneaded until it no longer sticks to the hands and all the ingredients are evenly mixed together. The upper surface of the dough is evened out with wet hands, covered and placed in a warm place to continue fermenting. Splitting in the upper surface of the dough and a doubling in size shows that the dough has fermented. It can then be divided and baked.

The fermented dough is divided into pieces after moistening the hands with water. ‘Salinātā rudzu rupjmaize’ is formed into elongated loaves which are then smoothed over with a wet hand; the sides of larger loaves are scored to prevent them from splitting, and a cross, slits or a symbol may be cut into the surface of the loaf. Loaves of dough can be placed onto surfaces covered with cloth, boards or peels which have been sprinkled with bran or covered in maple leaves, and are then placed in the oven. The loaves are baked on the hot hearth, not on baking trays or in moulds. The oven is heated to a higher temperature (280-350 °C) at the start of baking, so that a stronger crust is formed which will not split. Afterwards baking continues at a lower temperature (200-250 °C). Baking takes place for approx. one to two hours, depending on loaf size. When removed from the oven, starch paste or water is applied to the hot loaves, giving a softer and glossier crust.

After it has cooled, the bread can be sold as an uncut loaf, or cut into smaller pieces or slices. The bread can also be packed in a cloth, paper or plastic bag. It can be kept at room temperature (15-25 °C) or frozen (– 18 °C). ‘Salinātā rudzu rupjmaize’ stays fresh for a long time, and can be kept for at least 5-10 days.

4.3.   Description of the key elements establishing the product’s traditional character (Article 7(2) of this Regulation)

Rye bread has always been one of the staple foods in Latvian homes, which is why it is even today a symbolic component of Latvian national identity. Rye bread is included in the Latvian Cultural Canon in the ‘Folk Traditions’ section. Like its equivalents in other European countries, the Latvian Cultural Canon is compiled as a compendium of the most outstanding and most significant artistic works and cultural treasures reflecting the most important cultural achievements in the nation’s history.

In her research work Mūsu maize. Our daily bread (2004), the ethnographer Indra Čekstere writes that in Latvian households “it is most often ‘salinātā rudzu rupjmaize’ which is baked, after pouring hot water over the flour in a tub”. A lump of dough from a previous batch of bread is dissolved in warm water and added as a ferment. The runny dough is mixed in the tub and left overnight to ferment. It is beaten with a long wooden spatula. In the morning, the kneading starts. The kneading takes a long time, with caraway seeds and more flour being added. When the dough no longer sticks to the hands, the kneading stops. The tub with the fermenting dough is placed next to the oven and long small loaves are shaped on the peel, which is covered with a dusting of flour or maple leaves and quickly placed in the oven.’

The publication Latviešu tradicionālie ēdieni [Latvian traditional dishes] (compiled by I. Heinola and S. Stinkule, published in 2006 with support from the State Cultural Capital Foundation) notes that right up until the early 20th century the main activities among Latvians and Livonians were farming and fishing, and so the staple of their diet consisted of home-made rye bread and various boiled dishes. The publication provides a description of ‘salinātā rudzu rupjmaize’, noting that rye flour was used in the production of the bread and that part of this flour was scalded. The dough was prepared in a wooden tub and its fermentation was ensured by ferment left from the previous batch of bread and microorganisms preserved on the sides of the tub. Long loaves were formed from the dough, and these were baked in a wood-fired oven.

In her book Daudzveidīgā maizīte [The many forms of bread] (1993), bread-making expert Zigrīda Liepiņa also gives a description of the production of traditional ‘salinātā rudzu rupjmaize’ as it was still made at the beginning of the 20th century. The description stresses the uniqueness of the scalding of the flour and the length of its fermentation in wooden tubs, which create the distinct and pleasant aroma of the bread and its porous and elastic crumb.

Housekeeping and handicrafts teacher M. Leiše described the preparation of and recipe for ‘salinātā rudzu rupjmaize’. She noted that it was best to use a vessel made from deciduous wood to prepare the bread, and that a certain amount of hot water should be poured over part of the flour and that this should then be mixed with a wooden spatula until the dough attains a homogenous consistency. Around 12 hours later, when the scalded flour has cooled, ferment is added and the mixture is allowed to ferment, and only then is the dough kneaded. The fermented dough is then divided into pieces and baked in a hot oven on the hearth. (Praktiskā mājturība [Practical housekeeping], published by A. Gulbis, Riga, 1931).

L. Dumpe described the way ‘salinātā rudzu rupjmaize’ was baked in around 1915 in her publication Latviešu tautas ēdieni [Latvian national dishes] (2006), based on material gathered during ethnographic expeditions. She notes that ‘normal bread was fermented using warm water at 45-65 °C, while “salinātā” bread was fermented using hot water at 95 °C. It was mixed until the dough no longer stuck to the hands and a white stripe remained when it was pulled at with a finger. The kneaded dough was covered and fermented again in a warm place. The fermented dough was divided into pieces, formed into elongated loaves and baked on a hearth. Water or starch paste were then applied to the hot loaves. This made the crust soft and glossy.’

Reason(s)

It is a Union amendment falling into one of the categories provided for in Article 14(1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/33, specifically: further restrictions on the marketing of the product.

Pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 2019/33, justification for the amendment is given as follows:

Quality-related reasons

| — | The production of ‘Jumilla’ (PDO) wines does not end with the process of transforming must into wine through alcoholic fermentation and other supplementary processes, but rather with the packaging. This must be considered the final stage in the production of these wines, since it involves other oenological practices that could affect the special characteristics, namely filtering, stabilisation and various types of corrective measures. Furthermore, in many cases, a period of bottle ageing, which takes place in the bottle racks of the certified wineries, is necessary in order to round out the finished wine.
  Indeed, all the lessons learned from the wine being permitted to leave the demarcated area in bulk have shown producers the importance of this final stage in wine production.
  This designation of origin was recognised in Spain in 1966. In common with the rest of the sector, its long history has seen considerable progress in quality requirements to that extent that, these days, careful monitoring of bottling is a prerequisite of quality. For this reason, the sector itself wants to ensure that no wine entitled to bear the name ‘Jumilla’ should escape such monitoring. It is sufficient to point out that 20 years ago, in the 2000-2001 season, 86 % of the wine of this PDO was exported in bulk, whereas now it is only around 4 %. |

| — | Furthermore, it is clear that transport over long distances or for prolonged periods increases the risk of alterations to the product, such as oxidation or temperature changes, which adversely affect quality. Allowing such consignments undermines quality.
  Indeed, the producers are so aware of this that the volume placed on the market in bulk is now a fraction of the total sold by the PDO. |

Guarantee of origin

| — | Appointed by the competent Spanish authority and accredited by the National Accreditation Body under ISO 17065 on product certification, the control body is active within the confines of the demarcated area. Full traceability is necessary to guarantee the actual origin of the raw material and the production. Only the control body can conduct these exercises and, for logistical and financial reasons, it cannot attend wineries in other Member States or third countries in order to guarantee the origin of the wine bottled there. |

| — | Where wine in bulk is sent to operators outside of its scope, the control body provides a guarantee in the form of a consignment note confirming the origin of the product and its compliance with the specifications for ‘Jumilla’ up to the point of dispatch. However, where there is no subsequent control, this guarantee of origin is useless for the purposes of the PDO and loses its validity.
  It is true that EU rules provide for cooperation with the control bodies in the destination countries. Yet experience shows that this is limited to the usual controls carried out by producers. There is no proper check on the requirements for the bottling stage according to the relevant specification.
  Specifically, every bottle has to display a guarantee of origin in the form of a secondary label or numbered seal. However, bottling operations outside of the demarcated area do not request these items from the control body. This means that secondary labels and numbered seals are not used despite being required by the specification.
  The situation is even worse where bottling takes place in a third country, and some 75 % of ‘Jumilla’ sold in bulk goes to countries outside the EU. In such cases, there is not even a mechanism in place for conducting controls on these wines.
  Furthermore, it is impossible for the control body to know how such products will end up on the market: under the name of the PDO, under another name or blended with other wines. |

Guaranteeing control

| — | Prior to this amendment application, bulk consignments of the protected wine were accompanied by a certificate of origin at the request of the registered operator.
  Based on the reasons set out above, and on experience, and given the lack of quality assurance and control inherent in bulk consignments, it seems inappropriate to continue issuing certificates for wines that cease to be subject to any control before being placed on the market. |

| — | The volumes of bulk exports have been gradually decreasing over time, as current figures clearly show. As an example, during the 2010-2011 season, 20 704 hectolitres, some 25 % of production, were exported. In the 2019-2020 season, the figure was 8 939 hectolitres, around 4 % of production. Thus far in the 2021 season, there have been no consignments of wine in bulk. This further reduces the justification for any attempts by the certifying body to carry out controls as the volumes are very small and widely dispersed across different destinations. |

Therefore none of the producers that bottle PDO ‘Jumilla’ wine will have to change their practices and nor will their interests be affected.
  None of the producers exporting in bulk disagrees with this measure, which has been approved by all wineries and winegrowers belonging to the Designation of Origin. There were no interventions during the national opposition procedure to approve this amendment to the specification. |

5.   Wine making practices

a.   Specific oenological practices

Cultivation method

Vineyards covered by the ‘Jumilla’ protected designation of origin can be subject to extensive cultivation or intensive cultivation methods.

Extensive cultivation: for vineyards in which, for reasons of terrain, altitude, rainfall and other environmental factors, planting density complies with the following agricultural parameters: maximum 1 900 plants per hectare and minimum 1 100 plants per hectare.

Intensive cultivation: for vineyards which, again according to environmental conditions, comply with the following agricultural parameters: planting density between 3 350 and 1 500 plants per hectare.

Grapes are harvested in a way that does not harm their quality. For wines covered by the PDO, only healthy grapes are used which are sufficiently ripe and at a minimum of 10,70o Baumé for white grapes, and 11o Baumé for red grapes.

Monastrell grapes intended to be used for liqueur wine must be at a minimum of 13o Baumé when harvested.

In pressing, the must and wine are subject to pressures giving a maximum yield that, following transformation, cannot exceed 74 litres of finished wine per 100 kilograms of grapes.

For the purpose of calculating the ageing processes, the first day of October of each year is taken as the start.

8.   Description of the link(s)

8.1.   Wine

The most important grape is Monastrell, a very hardy variety that is perfectly adapted to the harsh conditions of the area, with its drought, very hot summers and spring frosts. It produces full bodied, fleshy wines, rich in alcohol and acidity with highly characteristic aromas of ripe fruit and a well-integrated astringency.

The other authorised varieties perfectly complement Monastrell, stabilising the colour and adding acidity and ageing capacity, as well as harmonising the aromas perfectly.

8.2.   Liqueur wines

These wines are made from Monastrell, a variety which gives them colour intensity ranging from medium to very high, potentially almost opaque, as a result of the high temperatures characteristic of the area.

9.   Specific further requirements (packaging, labelling, other requirements)

Labelling

Legal framework:

In national legislation

Type of further condition:

Additional provisions relating to labelling

Description of the condition:

The name of the protected designation of origin must appear prominently on the labels, in a font that must be a minimum of 3 millimetres and a maximum of 10 millimetres in height.

The name must appear next to the words ‘Denominación de Origen Protegida’ or ‘Denominación de Origen’, which must be in a font of a minimum of 2 millimetres in height, but which must always be smaller than the accompanying name of the PDO.

Other references will be those laid down in the general legislation on wine labelling, and in the specific rules and regulations on labelling established by the Regulatory Board and currently in force.

Packaging must include quality seals, secondary labels or numbered labels issued by the Regulatory Board. These must be affixed by the winery and be visible on the packaging in a way that prevents their re-use.

Transporting wines

Legal framework

For an organisation that manages PDOs/PGIs, when thus provided for by Member States.

Type of further condition

Packaging within the demarcated geographical area

Description of the condition

The protected wine must be packaged exclusively in facilities located within the production area of PDO ‘Jumilla’.

In order to ensure appropriate use of the PDO, all protected wines must be dispatched in the packaging.

Production of the wines with the designation of origin does not end with the process of transforming must into wine through alcoholic fermentation and other, supplementary processes, but rather with packaging. This must be considered the final stage in the production of these wines, since it involves other oenological practices that could affect the special characteristics, namely: filtering, stabilisation and various types of corrective measures. Furthermore, in many cases, a period of bottle ageing is necessary in order to round out the finished wine. In addition, it is clear that transport over long distances or for prolonged periods increases the risk of alterations to the product, such as oxidation or temperature changes, which adversely affect the quality. Therefore, in order to preserve the quality of the wine, it is necessary to bottle it within the demarcated area of the PDO.

The control body is appointed by the competent Spanish authority and accredited by the National Accreditation Body under ISO 17065 on product certification. In the case of bulk volumes dispatched to operators outside the demarcated area, the control body can only guarantee origin and compliance with the ‘Jumilla’ PDO up to the point of dispatch. However, for reasons of logistics and cost, the control body cannot operate in destination countries where, in practice, the national competent authorities do not carry out controls either. Some 75 % of consignments in bulk go to third countries. Consequently, the control body does not know how these wines are placed on the market. What it does know is that the bottles do not display the secondary label or numbered seal as required since there are no requests for these from the bottling operations. This means that there should not be bottling operations involving ‘Jumilla’ (PDO) outside of the demarcated area. Therefore, in order to guarantee the origin and to safeguard control, it is necessary for all the wine to be bottled within the demarcated area.
