RECOGNISING THAT:

| 7. | Organisation of sport in Europe is based on the fundamental right of freedom of association. It is also based on values, such as solidarity between different levels in sport, in particular between professional and grassroots sport, fairness, integrity, openness, gender equality and good governance. |
| --- | --- |

7.

Organisation of sport in Europe is based on the fundamental right of freedom of association. It is also based on values, such as solidarity between different levels in sport, in particular between professional and grassroots sport, fairness, integrity, openness, gender equality and good governance.

| 8. | The key features for most of the values-based organised sport in Europe represent an organisation of sport in an autonomous, democratic and territorial basis with a pyramidal structure, encompassing all levels of sport from grassroots to professional sport, comprising both club and national team competitions and including mechanisms to ensure financial solidarity, fairness and openness in competitions, such as the principle of promotion and relegation. |

| 9. | Values-based organised sport in Europe is usually structured on a national basis and in principle organised by one federation per sport, allowing for a comprehensive approach to rules, regulations, and standards as well as respecting competition calendars and qualifications for competitions. These organisations are committed to financial solidarity between professional and grassroots sport as well as to highest levels of good governance, fundamental and human rights, mental and physical health and to the safety of athletes, to the prevention of any form of discrimination and to the promotion of integrity of sport. |

| 10. | Sport is also an important economic sector in Europe in its own right, contributing to economic growth, development and employment opportunities (2)
  , with new stakeholders and approaches in sport, such as sport industry, sponsors, media, major events, new types of sport, athletes’ role, etc. These new stakeholders and approaches should also be taken into account in the further development of sport in Europe. |

EMPHASISING THAT:

| 11. | Sport federations should have a central role in overseeing the organisation and functioning of their respective sport, and should reconcile in a democratic, balanced and cohesive manner the interests of athletes, clubs and leagues, fans and other stakeholders, and other sport organisations in order for all to contribute to the healthy development of sport. |

| 12. | Mechanisms for safeguarding athletes’ rights and responsibilities, such as non-discrimination, access to information, representation within sport organisation, privacy and fair trial, and athletes’ use of these mechanisms are essential in upholding principles of good governance in values-based organised sport where athletes ’voice is to be heard and taken into account. |

| 13. | Financial solidarity is a key feature of values-based organised sport. It can help to establish, maintain and reinforce the link between professional and grassroots sport, co-financing of commercially less attractive competitions as well as training of volunteers, athletes, coaches, officials, etc. Furthermore, support should also be given to activities endorsing the respect of values in sport, such as fundamental and human rights, democracy, solidarity, social integration, gender equality, development of youth, rights of the child and education through sport. |

| 14. | Organised sport in Europe has been facing internal and external threats, such as cases of poor governance, corruption, sport manipulations, financial instability, human rights violations, doping, racism, violence, gender inequality, increasing commercialisation and a tendency to buy rather than train young athletes. This all requires a response, in close co-operation with relevant authorities and organisations, which should safeguard the values and integrity of sport, promote good governance, and should ensure a positive future for sport. |

| 15. | Good governance in sport is a prerequisite for the autonomy and self-regulation of sport organisations and federations, in compliance with the principles of democracy, transparency, integrity, solidarity, gender equality, openness, accountability and social responsibility. It is essential that sport organisations and federations uphold and, where possible, raise their standards of good governance by giving voice to athletes and to fans. |

| 16. | It is fundamental for the long-term viability of sport to maintain, and, where necessary, enhance competitive balance to prevent unfair advantage. A broad range of measures addressing both short-term needs and long-term developments should be considered in order to promote fair, competitive and balanced sport competitions. |

CONSIDERING THAT:

| 17. | National team competitions are integral part of organised sport in Europe.

Sport organisations of all types and at all levels shall commit to developing a culture of transparency and establish procedures based on good governance principles which ensure the irreproachable management of their financial resources, stringent controls to prevent conflict of interests, corruption and limited periods of elected positions.

| 19. | The increasing commercialisation of professional sport is making sport an even more profit-oriented activity, driven in particular by the value of broadcasting rights. Although it contributes to the creation of financial resources for a greater number of athletes, the development of the commercial dimension of sport is not without risk for the values of sport. |

| 20. | At a time when modernisation of sport is bringing new financial opportunities from the economic potential of sport, it is of overriding importance that values-based organised sport preserves the integrity of sport, adheres to good governance principles, respects national, EU and international law and maintains the level-playing field necessary to effectively implement the solidarity values between all actors. |

Notice of initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of ceramic tiles originating in India and Turkey

(2021/C 501/08)

The European Commission (‘the Commission’) has received a complaint pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), alleging that imports of ceramic tiles originating in India and Turkey (‘the countries concerned’), are being dumped and are thereby causing injury (2) to the Union industry.

1.   Complaint

The complaint was lodged on 3 November 2021 by the European Ceramic Tile Manufacturers’ Association (‘CET’ or ‘the complainant’). The complaint was made on behalf the Union industry of ceramic tiles in the sense of Article 5(4) of the basic Regulation.

An open version of the complaint and the analysis of the degree of support by Union producers for the complaint are available in the file for inspection by interested parties. Section 5.6 of this Notice provides information about access to the file for interested parties.

2.   Product under investigation

The product subject to this investigation is ceramic flags and paving, hearth or wall tiles; ceramic mosaic cubes and the like, whether or not on a backing; finishing ceramics (‘the product under investigation’).

All interested parties wishing to submit information on the product scope must do so within 10 days of the date of publication of this Notice (3).

3.   Allegation of dumping

The product allegedly being dumped is the product under investigation, originating in in India and in Turkey (‘the countries concerned’), currently classified under CN codes 6907 21 00, 6907 22 00, 6907 23 00, 6907 30 00 and 6907 40 00. The CN codes are given for information only. The scope of this investigation is subject to the definition of the product under investigation as contained in Section 2.

In the absence of reliable data on domestic prices for the countries concerned, the allegation of dumping is based on a comparison of a constructed normal value (manufacturing costs, selling, general and administrative costs (‘SG&A’) and profit) with the export price (at ex-works level) of the product under investigation when sold for export to the Union.

The dumping margins calculated on the basis of this comparison are significant for the countries concerned.

4.   Allegation of injury and causation

The complainant has provided evidence that imports of the product under investigation from the countries concerned have increased overall in absolute terms and in terms of market share.

The evidence provided by the complainant shows that the volume and the prices of the imported product under investigation have had, among other consequences, a negative impact on the level of prices charged and on the market share held by the Union industry, resulting in substantial adverse effects on the overall performance of the Union industry.

5.   Procedure

Having determined, after informing the Member States, that the complaint has been lodged by or on behalf of the Union industry and that there is sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of a proceeding, the Commission hereby initiates an investigation pursuant to Article 5 of the basic Regulation.

The investigation will determine whether the product under investigation originating in the countries concerned is being dumped and whether the dumped imports have caused or threaten to cause injury to the Union industry.

If the conclusions are affirmative, the investigation will examine whether the imposition of measures would not be in the Union interest under Article 21 of the basic Regulation.

The Commission also draws the attention of the parties to the published Notice (4) on the consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak on anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations that may be applicable to this proceeding.

5.1.   
  Investigation period and period considered

The investigation of dumping and injury will cover the period from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021 (‘the investigation period’). The examination of trends relevant for the assessment of injury will cover the period from 1 January 2018 to the end of the investigation period (‘the period considered’).

5.2.   
  Comments on the complaint and the initiation of the investigation

All interested parties wishing to comment on the complaint (including matters pertaining to injury and causality) or any aspects regarding the initiation of the investigation (including the degree of support for the complaint) must do so within 37 days of the date of publication of this Notice.

Any request for a hearing with regard to the initiation of the investigation must be submitted within 15 days of the date of publication of this Notice.

5.3.   
  Procedure for the determination of dumping

Exporting producers (5) of the product under investigation from the countries concerned are invited to participate in the Commission investigation.

5.3.1.   Investigating exporting producers

5.3.1.1.   Procedure for exporting producers to be investigated in the countries concerned

a)   Sampling

In view of the potentially large number of exporting producers in the countries concerned involved in this proceeding and in order to complete the investigation within the statutory time limits, the Commission may limit the exporting producers to be investigated to a reasonable number by selecting a sample (this process is also referred to as ‘sampling’). The sampling will be carried out in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.

In order to enable the Commission to decide whether sampling is necessary, and if so, to select a sample, all exporting producers, or representatives acting on their behalf, are requested to provide the Commission with information on their company(ies) within 7 days of the date of publication of this Notice. This information must be provided via TRON.tdi (‘TRON’) at the following address: https://tron.trade.ec.europa.eu/tron/tdi/form/AD684_SAMPLING_FORM_FOR_EXPORTING_PRODUCER. TRON access information can be found in sections 5.6 and 5.8 below.

In order to obtain information it deems necessary for the selection of the sample of exporting producers, the Commission has also contacted the authorities of the countries concerned and may contact any known associations of exporting producers.

If a sample is necessary, the exporting producers may be selected based on the largest representative volume of exports to the Union which can reasonably be investigated within the time available. All known exporting producers, the authorities of the countries concerned and associations of exporting producers will be notified by the Commission, via the authorities of the countries concerned, if appropriate, of the companies selected to be in the sample.

Once the Commission has received the necessary information to select a sample of exporting producers, it will inform the parties concerned of its decision whether they are included in the sample. The sampled exporting producers will have to submit a completed questionnaire within 30 days from the date of notification of the decision of their inclusion in the sample, unless otherwise specified.

The Commission will add a note reflecting the sample selection to the file for inspection by interested parties. Any comment on the sample selection must be received within 3 days of the date of notification of the sample decision.

A copy of the questionnaire for exporting producers is available in the file for inspection by interested parties and on DG Trade’s website (https://trade.ec.europa.eu/tdi/case_details.cfm?id=2559).

The questionnaire will also be made available to any known association of exporting producers, and to the authorities of the countries concerned.

Without prejudice to the possible application of Article 18 of the basic Regulation, exporting producers that have agreed to be included in the sample but are not selected as part of the sample will be considered to be cooperating (‘non-sampled cooperating exporting producers’). Without prejudice to section 5.3.1.1(b) below, the anti-dumping duty that may be applied to imports from non-sampled cooperating exporting producers will not exceed the weighted average margin of dumping established for the exporting producers in the sample. (6)

(b)   Individual dumping margin for exporting producers not included in the sample

Pursuant to Article 17(3) of the basic Regulation, non-sampled cooperating exporting producers may request the Commission to establish their individual dumping margins. Exporting producers wishing to claim an individual dumping margin must fill in the questionnaire and return it duly completed within 30 days of the date of notification of the sample selection, unless otherwise specified. A copy of the questionnaire for exporting producers is available in the file for inspection by interested parties and on DG Trade’s website (https://trade.ec.europa.eu/tdi/case_details.cfm?id=2559).The Commission will examine whether non-sampled cooperating exporting producers can be granted an individual duty in accordance with Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation.

However, non-sampled cooperating exporting producers claiming an individual dumping margin should be aware that the Commission may nonetheless decide not to determine their individual dumping margin if, for instance, the number of non-sampled cooperating exporting producers is so large that such determination would be unduly burdensome and would prevent the timely completion of the investigation.

5.3.2.   Investigating unrelated importers (7) (8)

Unrelated importers of the product under investigation from the countries concerned to the Union are invited to participate in this investigation.

In view of the potentially large number of unrelated importers involved in this proceeding and in order to complete the investigation within the statutory time limits, the Commission may limit to a reasonable number the unrelated importers that will be investigated by selecting a sample (this process is also referred to as ‘sampling’). The sampling will be carried out in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.

In order to enable the Commission to decide whether sampling is necessary and, if so, to select a sample, all unrelated importers, or representatives acting on their behalf, are requested to provide the Commission with the information on their company(ies) requested in the Annex to this Notice within 7 days of the date of publication of this Notice.

In order to obtain information it deems necessary for the selection of the sample of unrelated importers, the Commission may also contact any known associations of importers.

If a sample is necessary, the importers may be selected based on the largest representative volume of sales of the product under investigation in the Union which can reasonably be investigated within the time available.

Once the Commission has received the necessary information to select a sample, it will inform the parties concerned of its decision on the sample of importers. The Commission will also add a note reflecting the sample selection to the file for inspection by interested parties. Any comment on the sample selection must be received within 3 days from the notification of the sample decision.

In order to obtain information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will make available questionnaires to the sampled unrelated importers. Those parties must submit a completed questionnaire within 30 days from the date of the notification of the decision about the sample, unless otherwise specified.

A copy of the questionnaire for importers is available in the file for inspection by interested parties and on DG Trade’s website (https://trade.ec.europa.eu/tdi/case_details.cfm?id=2559).

5.4.   
  Procedure for the determination of injury and investigating Union producers

A determination of injury is based on positive evidence and involves an objective examination of the volume of the dumped imports, their effect on prices on the Union market and the consequent impact of those imports on the Union industry. In order to establish whether the Union industry is injured, Union producers of the product under investigation are invited to participate in the Commission investigation.

In view of the large number of Union producers concerned and in order to complete the investigation within the statutory time limits, the Commission has decided to limit to a reasonable number the Union producers that will be investigated by selecting a sample (this process is also referred to as ‘sampling’). The sampling is carried out in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.

The Commission has provisionally selected a sample of Union producers. Details can be found in the file for inspection by interested parties. Interested parties are invited to comment on the provisional sample. In addition, other Union producers, or representatives acting on their behalf, who consider that there are reasons why they should be included in the sample must contact the Commission within 7 days of the date of publication of this Notice. All comments regarding the provisional sample must be received within 7 days of the date of publication of this Notice, unless otherwise specified.

All known Union producers and associations of Union producers will be notified by the Commission of the companies finally selected to be in the sample.

The sampled Union producers will have to submit a completed questionnaire within 30 days from the date of notification of the decision of their inclusion in the sample, unless otherwise specified.

A copy of the questionnaire for Union producers is available in the file for inspection by interested parties and on DG Trade’s website (https://trade.ec.europa.eu/tdi/case_details.cfm?id=2559).

5.5.   
  Procedure for the assessment of Union interest

Should the existence of dumping and injury caused be established, a decision will be reached, pursuant to Article 21 of the basic Regulation, as to whether the adoption of anti-dumping measures would not be against the Union interest. Union producers, importers and their representative associations, users and their representative associations, trade unions and representative consumer organisations are invited to provide the Commission with information as to whether the imposition of measures is not against the Union interest. In order to participate in the investigation, the representative consumer organisations have to demonstrate that there is an objective link between their activities and the product under investigation.

Information concerning the assessment of Union interest must be provided within 37 days of the date of publication of this Notice unless otherwise specified. This information may be provided either in a free format or by completing a questionnaire prepared by the Commission. A copy of the questionnaires, including the questionnaire for users of the product under investigation, is available in the file for inspection by interested parties and on DG Trade’s website (https://trade.ec.europa.eu/tdi/case_details.cfm?id=2559). The information submitted pursuant to Article 21 of the basic Regulation will only be taken into account if supported by factual evidence at the time of submission.

5.6.   
  Interested parties

In order to participate in the investigation interested parties, such as exporting producers, Union producers, importers and their representative associations, users and their representative associations, trade unions and representative consumer organisations must demonstrate that there is an objective link between their activities and the product under investigation.

Exporting producers, Union producers, importers and representative associations who made information available in accordance to the procedures described in sections 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 above will be considered as interested parties if there is an objective link between their activities and the product under investigation.

Other parties will only be able to participate in the investigation as interested party from the moment they make themselves known, and provided that there is an objective link between their activities and the product under investigation. Being considered as an interested party is without prejudice to the application of Article 18 of the basic Regulation.

Access to the file available for inspection for interested parties is made via TRON.tdi at the following address: https://tron.trade.ec.europa.eu/tron/TDI. Please follow the instructions on that page to get access. (9)

9.   Extension to time limits specified in this Notice

Any extension to the time limits provided for in this Notice should only be requested in exceptional circumstances and will only be granted if duly justified upon good cause being shown.

In any event, any extension to the deadline to reply to questionnaires will be limited normally to 3 days, and as a rule will not exceed 7 days.

Regarding time limits for the submission of other information specified in the Notice of Initiation, extensions will be limited to 3 days unless exceptional circumstances are demonstrated.

10.   Non-cooperation

In cases where any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, provisional or final findings, affirmative or negative, may be made on the basis of facts available, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation.

Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information may be disregarded and use may be made of facts available.

If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.

Failure to give a computerised response shall not be deemed to constitute non-cooperation, provided that the interested party shows that presenting the response as requested would result in an unreasonable extra burden or unreasonable additional cost. In this case the interested party should immediately contact the Commission.

11.   Hearing Officer

Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer for trade proceedings. The Hearing Officer reviews requests for access to the file, disputes regarding the confidentiality of documents, requests for extension of time limits and any other request concerning the rights of defence of interested parties and third parties as may arise during the proceeding.

The Hearing Officer may organise hearings and mediate between the interested party or parties and the Commission services to ensure that the interested parties’ rights of defence are being fully exercised. A request for a hearing with the Hearing Officer should be made in writing and should specify the reasons for the request. The Hearing Officer will examine the reasons for the requests. These hearings should only take place if the issues have not been settled with the Commission services in due course.

Interested parties are invited to follow the timeframes set out in section 5.7 of this Notice also as regards interventions, including hearings, by the Hearing Officer. Any request must be submitted in good time and expeditiously so as not to jeopardise the orderly conduct of proceedings. To that effect, interested parties should request the intervention of the Hearing Officer at the earliest possible time following the occurrence of the event justifying such intervention. The Hearing Officer will examine the reasons for requests for interventions, the nature of the issues raised and the impact of those issues on the rights of defence, having due regard to the interests of good administration and the timely completion of the investigation.

For further information and contact details interested parties may consult the Hearing Officer’s web pages on DG Trade’s Internet: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/trade-policy-and-you/contacts/hearing-officer/.

12.   Processing of personal data

Any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council (11).

REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT TO THE PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

‘dell’Emilia’ / ‘Emilia’

PGI-IT-A0509-AM06

Date of application: 2 January 2019

1.   Rules applicable to the amendment

Article 105 of Regulation (EU) n° 1308/2013 – Non-minor modification

2.   Description and reasons for amendment

2.1.   Introduction of two new categories of grapevine products: ‘sparkling wine’ and ‘wine from raisined grapes’

Two new categories of grapevine products have been added: ‘sparkling wine’ and ‘wine from raisined grapes’

The region of Emilia has long had a tradition for producing many leading wines both in the category of wine from raisined grapes and in the category of sparkling wine by means of either secondary fermentation in the bottle and/or by the Charmat (or Martinotti) method.

Allowing these products to be classified as ‘dell’Emilia’ / ‘Emilia’ PGI will not only increase the wines’ economic value but will also give the consumer a clear indication of their geographical origin.

This amendment concerns Articles 1 and 6 of the product specification and point 2.3 of the single document (Categories of grapevine products).

2.2.   Introduction of new varietal types

New types with indication of the grape variety, i.e. Fogarina, Moscato Bianco and Spergola, have been included in the relevant categories covered by the specification, i.e. wine, semi-sparkling wine (Frizzante), sparkling wine (Spumante), wine from raisined grapes (Passito) and partially fermented grape must.

In addition, the name of the Pignoletto variety has been replaced, also in the rest of the specification, with that of its synonym Grechetto Gentile.

Reason: Fogarina, Moscato Bianco and Spergola are native varieties that have long been grown in the area, and the new varietal types are introduced following lengthy testing aimed at exploiting the value of such varieties.

In particular, the Fogarina and Spergola varietal types are introduced as a result of the recovery, characterisation and development of these local varieties in the production area, where they were used in the past, mostly in combination with other, more widespread grape varieties. The recent rediscovery and improvement of these grape varieties, by means of selected clones, has led to the production of high-quality wines with distinctive characteristics.

The name of the ‘Pignoletto’ variety has been replaced with that of its synonym ‘Grechetto Gentile’ because the producers have chosen to promote ‘Pignoletto’ as a protected designation of origin in accordance with the current EU legislation.

This amendment concerns Articles 1 and 4 of the product specification and section 7. of the single document (Main grape varieties).

2.3.   Pinot Nero fermented off skins (vinificato in bianco) added as a new type, and as a complementary variety for the Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco types

Pinot Nero fermented off skins, Pinot Nero Frizzante fermented off skins and Pinot Nero Spumante fermented off skins have been added as new types.

Reason: These types reflect a long-established winemaking tradition in the region of Emilia. Fermentation off skins of Pinot Nero grapes brings out a pleasant aroma with elegant notes in the white wines and give the semi-sparkling and sparkling wines a fine, long-lasting foam.

This amendment concerns Articles 2 and 6 of the product specification and points 4 (description of wine) and 5.1 (Winemaking practices).of the single document.

2.4.   Designation and presentation Addition of provisions on indicating two or more grape varieties on the label

Provisions have been included that allow two or more grape varieties to be indicated on the label in accordance with the current EU legislation, including, in particular, the requirement that ‘minor’ varieties must account for at least 15 % of the grapes from which the wine is produced, although no such minimum requirement is laid down in the relevant provision (Article 62(1)(c)(ii) of Regulation (EC) No 607/2009).

This provision is intended to prevent misleading information to the consumer. In this respect, for a variety to be indicated on the label it must account for at least 15 % of the total and thus help shape the wine’s characteristics.

This restrictive provision is in line with Article 70(1) of Regulation (EC) No 607/2009.

Wine types with indication of two or more grape varieties, from among those listed in Article 1 for single-variety types, have been added to that same article.

The change involving the addition of some types with indication of two or more grape varieties traditionally grown in the area is intended to spell out in the specification something that is already allowed under EU legislation. The Lambrusco grape variety cannot, however, be used for these types as this variety is the most important and representative of the area. Its use has therefore been reserved for the pure Lambrusco types in order to preserve the specific characteristics of wines made from that variety.

This amendment concerns Article 7 of the product specification and point 2.9 of the single document (Further conditions - Description of the condition).

2.5.   Update of the combination of grape varieties for the Lambrusco types

In the context of the requirement that certain varieties of the Lambrusco family must account, together or separately, for 85 % of the grapes used to produce the Lambrusco types, the existing list of authorised varieties (Lambrusco Salamino and/or Lambrusco di Sorbara and/or Lambrusco Grasparossa and/or Lambrusco Marani and/or Lambrusco Maestri and/or Lambrusco Montericco and/or Lambrusco Viadanese and/or Lambrusco Oliva) has been extended to also include Lambrusco a Foglia Frastagliata and/or Lambrusco Barghi and/or Lambrusco dal Peduncolo Rosso (the latter being synonymous with Terrano), which are also traditionally grown on the territory of ‘dell’Emilia’ / ‘Emilia’ PGI.

This amendment concerns Article 2 of the product specification and point 2.7 of the single document (Main wine grape varieties)

2.6.   Extension of production area

The grape production area has been extended to also include an area in the province of Bologna situated on the right bank of the Sillaro river for all product types covered by the specification, except the Lambrusco types.

The area in question is similar to the rest of the production area in terms of environmental characteristics, and it is now producing wines with the same organoleptic and quality characteristics as a result of having expanded and consolidated its winegrowing activity.

This amendment concerns Article 3 of the product specification and point 2.6 of the single document (Demarcated geographical area).

2.7.   Grape yields per hectare and minimum natural alcoholic strength by volume added for the new varietal types

The maximum grape yield per hectare and the minimum natural alcoholic strength by volume have been added for the new varietal types (Fogarina, Moscato and Spergola), based on actual data recorded in the five years before the application was submitted.

This amendment concerns Article 4 of the product specification and point 2.5.2. of the single document (Maximum yields).

2.8.   Rules on winemaking – Formal amendments (rewording) – Derogations for winemaking in neighbouring areas

The text has been reworded to improve its structure and delete an outdated provision.

The EU derogation that allowed PGI wines to be produced beyond the immediate proximity of the demarcated geographical area expired on 31 December 2012 and has been deleted.

The scope of the derogations allowing producers to also use processing facilities in an area bordering the grape production area for their processing operations, in accordance with Article 6(4)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 607/2009, has been set out and defined.

Specifically, it has been laid down that, apart from in the grape production area defined in Article 3, the winemaking process can also take place in the neighbouring provinces of Ravenna, Forlì-Cesena, Mantua and Cremona.

This amendment concerns Article 5 of the product specification and point 2.9 of the single document (Further conditions – Derogation from production in the demarcated geographical area).

2.9.   Provisions on enrichment and the use of products from outside the production area

Stricter rules than in the previous specification have been laid down with regard to enrichment, stating that any concentrated grape must used for enrichment must be obtained from grapes from the production area defined in Article 3.

Stricter rules than in the past have also been laid down for the use of products derived from grapes harvested outside the production area (within the maximum limit of 15 % allowed by Article 93(1)(b)(ii) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013), by specifying that at least 85 % of the raw material used for all products covered by the specification must come from the production area, including any products used for sweetening and secondary fermentation.

The purpose of these amendments is to ensure that the final product, at least 85 % of which must be obtained from grapes harvested in the production area, now also meets the aforementioned requirement that at least 85 % must be made up of products from that area (including products used for enrichment or sweetening), as otherwise the percentage could fall below 85 % in the finished wine. It is therefore a qualitative measure intended to increase, with respect to the production process, the use of products from the production area (upstream of the wine and/or enrichment and/or sweetening and/or secondary fermentation), even if the EU rules are less restrictive. The provisions are thus intended to strengthen the link with the environment.

This amendment concerns Article 5 of the product specification and point 2.5.1 of the single document (Winemaking practices).

2.10.   Wine/grape yield added for the Passito types

For the newly introduced Passito types, the maximum grape yield in the finished wine has been set at 50 %, and a provision has been included to prohibit any enrichment or sweetening.

The purpose of this is to regulate this specific type of wine, whose finished wine/grape yield (max. 50 %) is low compared to the other types, owing to the way the grapes are dried (raisining).

This amendment concerns Article 5 of the product specification and point 2.4 of the single document (Description of the wines).

2.11.   Insertion of a provision on the period of fermentation/secondary fermentation

A provision has been inserted, in line with the relevant national and EU legislation, relating to fermentation and secondary fermentation after 31 December of the year of the grape harvest.

This is an amendment intended to allow fermentation and secondary fermentation of the various wine products covered by the specification after 31 December of the year in which the grapes were harvested and up until 30 June of the following year, subject to the relevant notifications being made to the inspection body, so as to allow producers to better manage their wine stock.

This amendment concerns Article 5 of the product specification. It does not entail any changes to the single document.

2.12.   Characteristics of the wines when consumed

The analytical and organoleptic characteristics have been described, as required by the relevant legislation (Article 94(2)(b)(ii) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013), for all product types covered by the specification, both the new types and those provided for in the existing specification.

This amendment concerns Article 6 of the product specification and point 2.4 of the single document (Description of the wines).

2.13.   Designation and presentation Use of the traditional term ‘Vendemmia Tardiva’ (‘late harvest’)

Provision has been made for including the traditional term ‘Vendemmia Tardiva’ on the label in accordance with the relevant EU and national legislation.

This amendment concerns Article 7 of the product specification. It does not entail any changes to the single document.

2.14.   Packaging

By way of a formal amendment, the text has been reworded to extend the scope of the existing provisions on the use of containers and sealing systems to also include the ‘partially fermented grape must’ category.

The article has also been amended to regulate the use of mushroom stoppers for semi-sparkling wines, in particular to limit the length of the foil capsule covering the stopper and bottle neck to 7 cm in line with national and EU legislation, in order for the packaging of semi-sparkling wines to be different from that of sparkling wines, which generally have longer foil capsules (10-12 cm).

This amendment concerns Article 8 of the product specification. It does not entail any changes to the single document.

2.15.   Link with the geographical area

The information on the link with the geographical area has been supplemented to take account of the extension of the production area described in Article 3.

In addition, relevant additions have been made to the section describing the link between the product’s quality characteristics and the geographical environment. This is to take account of the new types introduced (in particular the Passito and sparkling wines).

This amendment concerns Article 9 of the product specification and point 2.8 of the single document (Link with the geographical area).

2.16.   References to the inspection body

The references to the inspection body have been updated as the Ministry’s Central Inspectorate for Safeguarding Quality and Preventing Fraud in relation to Agri-Food Products has now been replaced by Valoritalia s.r.l, an authorised inspection body.

This amendment concerns Article 10 of the product specification. It does not entail any changes to the single document.

5.   Wine making practices

a.   Essential oenological practices

1.   Enrichment – Sweetening and secondary fermentation

Relevant restriction on oenological practices

The natural alcoholic strength by volume may be increased through enrichment with concentrated grape must obtained from grapes coming from the demarcated production area or with concentrated and rectified grape must, within the limits of and as set out in EU and national legislation.

The ‘dell’Emilia’ / ‘Emilia’ typical geographical indication is reserved for grapevine products in the relevant categories for which at least 85 % of the products, or any products upstream of the wine, come from the demarcated production area, including any products used for sweetening and secondary fermentation.

2.   Fermentation off skins of Pinot Nero grapes

Specific oenological practice

Semi-sparkling and sparkling wines have traditionally been produced by fermenting Pinot Nero grapes off skins. Fermentation off skins of ‘Pinot Nero’ grapes allows a wine to be produced that is white in colour and has a pleasant aroma with elegant notes and a long-lasting, fine foam.

8.   Description of the link(s)

8.1.   ‘dell’Emilia’ / ‘Emilia’ – wine, sparkling wine, semi-sparkling wine, partially fermented grape must, wine from raisined grapes categories

Information on the geographical area

Natural factors relevant to the link:

For all categories covered by the specification, the production area for ‘dell’Emilia’ / ‘Emilia’ PGI wines comprises the entire administrative territory of the provinces of Bologna, Ferrara, Modena, Parma, Piacenza and Reggio Emilia.

This area enjoys uniform soil and climate conditions owing to the common origin, lie and exposure of the land, and the whole area is well suited to the winegrowing activities that flourish there. In particular, the climate conditions have created a uniform landscape, meaning that vineyards throughout the area where ‘dell’Emilia’ / ‘Emilia’ PGI wines are made largely use the same cultivation techniques.

Vineyards are found at various altitudes, from the plains upwards, depending on the area, the grape varieties grown and the wine-growing and oenological tradition; the fewest vines are found in the high Apennines, where the climate is too cold.

Temperature patterns in the area are highly variable, ranging from sub-continental temperate (most important for a wine-growing area) to cool temperate.

The plain, with an altitude typically between 2 and 70 m above sea level, spans a continuous area from the Po river to the Adriatic coast, extending as far as the wide Apennine valleys that reach altitudes of up to 150 m above sea level. In the flat foothills and the alluvial plain characterised by vertical deposits, the sediments mainly come from the Apennine rivers and streams, whereas the sediments of the meandering plain and the delta plain were formed by the Po river.

Annual precipitation ranges from 600 to 800 mm, concentrated mostly in the autumn and, to a lesser extent, in the spring. Water shortages occur mainly during the summer and are mitigated by high relative air humidity and the natural supply of groundwater. Rainfall increases at higher altitudes, at levels varying from some 800 mm on the edge of the Apennines overlooking the plains to more than 2 000 mm in the high Apennines, and there are also more rainy days.

Historical and human factors relevant to the link:

The expansion of winegrowing in Emilia has been well documented since Roman times, in a development linked to the domestication of wild or native grape varieties and constantly evolving growing techniques testifying to the close link between human activities and environmental factors.

During the thousand years that vine cultivation and human history have gone hand in hand, inextricable links have developed that are reflected in local culture and traditional farming and winemaking practices, and expressed more generally through art and gastronomy.

Scientific and technological progress has been achieved with the help of the Reggio Emilia, Finale Emilia and Castelfranco Emilia technical agricultural colleges, which provide training and disseminate new winemaking techniques. While modern winegrowing owes a lot to such training and dissemination activities, the region’s winegrowers have also made an important contribution by introducing vineyard management processes and methods that combine environmental and economic sustainability with innovative winemaking technologies.

8.2.   ‘dell’Emilia’ / ‘Emilia’ – wine category

Information on specific product qualities that can be attributed to its geographical origin, and causal link with the geographical area.

‘dell’Emilia’ / ‘Emilia’ white wines are straw yellow to golden yellow in colour, sometimes with tints of pale green or copper as in the case of Pinot Grigio. On the nose the wines are characterised by their subtle, fine aromas with fruity notes typical of the main grape variety used, in particular in the case of aromatic or semi-aromatic varieties such as Spergola and Trebbiano. On the palate the wines are dry to sweet, harmonious, well-structured, fresh and flavourful.

‘dell’Emilia’ / ‘Emilia’ Rosato wines have a pink colour of varying intensity depending on the winemaking process used. The taste is fresh and harmonious and ranges from dry to sweet with balanced acidity.

‘dell’Emilia’ / ‘Emilia’ Rosso wines have a ruby red colour of varying intensity; on the nose they are vinous with floral or fruity aromas depending on the grape variety from which they are made. The taste is harmonious and well-structured and can range from dry to sweet.

Red Novello wines express the aromas and flavours associated with the particular technique of carbon maceration used to make wine from the grapes, which enhances its vinous profile and the typical notes of the grape variety.

The wines’ quality characteristics are influenced by the soil and climate conditions of the production area. The temperate, cool and breezy climate, well-drained soils with sufficient availability of water owing to rainfall also distributed in the summer months and marked variations between night and day temperatures as the grapes ripen ensure optimal ripening of the grape bunches, resulting in grapes with a good sugar and acid content, combined with other quality and organoleptic characteristics that are specific to each variety and can also be perceived in the wines made from them.

Therefore, the causal link is based on specific product qualities that can be attributed to the geographical origin.

8.3.   ‘dell’Emilia’ / ‘Emilia’ – sparkling wine, semi-sparkling wine, partially fermented grape must categories

Information on specific product qualities that can be attributed to its geographical origin, and causal link with the geographical area.

The production of sparkling and semi-sparkling wines is a centuries-old tradition and is seen as the flagship of local winemaking. The particular care taken during the phase of growing and harvesting the grapes and making them into the base wine as well as during the subsequent secondary fermentation period gives the sparkling and semi-sparkling wines particular qualities of subtlety and elegance.

The sparkling and semi-sparkling wines and the partially fermented grape musts owe their quality to the availability of grapes with quality characteristics that are ideal for producing this type of wine.

The moderate release of carbon dioxide, obtained by natural fermentation in closed containers, brings out freshness and liveliness in the semi-sparkling wines, whether white, rosé or red.

The specialisation of the production process has made it possible to identify the variety types that are most suitable for processing into semi-sparkling wine and to carry out secondary fermentation using equipment at the forefront of technology; these factors have contributed to increasing the quality of the final product.

The same is true for the partially fermented grape musts, whether white, red or rosé, which are produced using the Charmat (or Martinotti) method to give the final product freshness combined with moderate alcoholic strength.

The wines’ quality characteristics are influenced by the soil and climate conditions of the production area. The temperate, cool and breezy climate, well-drained soils with sufficient availability of water owing to rainfall also distributed in the summer months and marked variations between night and day temperatures as the grapes ripen ensure optimal ripening of the grape bunches, resulting in grapes with a good sugar and acid content, combined with other quality and organoleptic characteristics that are specific to each variety and can also be perceived in the wines made from them.

Therefore, the causal link is based on specific product qualities that can be attributed to the geographical origin.

8.4.   ‘dell’Emilia’ / ‘Emilia’ – wine from raisined grapes category

Information on specific product qualities that can be attributed to its geographical origin, and causal link with the geographical area.

Depending on the variety used, the colour varies from golden yellow to amber in the white wines to garnet red. The aroma is delicate and distinctive with notes of raisined grapes, sometimes spicy and reminiscent of honey and ripe fruit. The taste is full and harmonious and may range from dry to sweet although the majority of the wines have a higher sugar content.

Passito wines can be made from all the grape varieties, both white and red, but aromatic grape varieties (Moscato Giallo, Moscato Rosa, Traminer Aromatico) and semi-aromatic varieties (Goldtraminer, Nosiola, Riesling Renano, Sauvignon, etc.) are the most frequently used.

The grapes are dried at special drying premises, and the length of the raisining period varies according to the intensity of the characteristics that the technique is intended to bring to the finished product.

The grapes used to produce Passito wines are identified by the producer on the basis of specific physical and quality characteristics of the bunch.

Bunches with plenty of space between the grapes are particularly well suited to being dried and they are selected in the vineyard at the time of the harvest.

Drying is favoured by the marked variation in temperature between day and night, which is particularly notable during late summer and autumn.

The wines’ quality characteristics are influenced by the soil and climate conditions of the production area. The temperate, cool and breezy climate, well-drained soils with sufficient availability of water owing to rainfall also distributed in the summer months and marked variations between night and day temperatures as the grapes ripen ensure optimal ripening of the grape bunches, resulting in grapes with a good sugar and acid content, combined with other quality and organoleptic characteristics that are specific to each variety and can also be perceived in the wines made from them.

Therefore, the causal link is based on specific product qualities that can be attributed to the geographical origin.

Derogation from production in the demarcated geographical area

Description of the condition:

Description of the condition:

In accordance with the derogation provided for in Article 6(4)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 607/2009, the process of making partially fermented grape must and all other categories of ‘dell’Emilia’ / ‘Emilia’ PGI wine, including the production and secondary fermentation of semi-sparkling and sparkling wine, may, apart from in the demarcated production area, also take place within the boundaries of the neighbouring provinces of Ravenna, Forlì-Cesena, Mantua and Cremona.

Indication on the label of two or more grape varieties

Legal framework:

In national legislation

Type of further condition:

Additional provisions relating to labelling

Description of the condition:

Description of the condition:

In order for ‘dell’Emilia’ / ‘Emilia’ PGI wines to be designated with the names of two or more grape varieties, the grapes of each ‘minor’ variety must account for more than 15 % of the total, and the varieties must be indicated on the label in descending order with respect to the actual amount of grapes used.

This is to ensure that the wines thus obtained and designated reflect the characteristics of all the grape varieties from which they are made to avoid giving the consumer misleading information, as the relevant EU legislation (Article 62(1)(c)(ii) of Regulation (EC) No 607/2009) does not set a minimum percentage for the ‘minor’ grape varieties used.
