Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the markets in processed fruit and vegetable products (1), and in particular Article 9(8) thereof,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1951/2006
of 21 December 2006
amending Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 concerning certain detailed rules implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine, as regards the presentation of wines treated in wood containers
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 46(1) and Article 53(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 22(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 of 29 April 2002 laying down certain rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 as regards the description, designation, presentation and protection of certain wine sector products (2) sets out the conditions for using indications concerning the production method as regards the use of oak wood containers in winemaking.
(2)
This provision limits the use of certain terms referred to in Annex X of Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 solely to wines that have been exclusively fermented, matured or aged in oak containers.
(3)
While it is true that oak wood is usually and traditionally used in cooperage, other types of wood such as ash or chestnut are also used in certain Member States. Steps should therefore be taken to extend the use of the terms referred to in Annex X of Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 to types of wood other than oak, provided that the relevant indications are correct and not misleading. To prevent any distortion of competition between producers, appropriate labelling rules should be laid down.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 is hereby amended as follows:
1.
In Article 22, paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:
‘3. The indications listed in Annex X are the only terms which may be used to describe a wine that has been fermented, matured or aged in a wood container. The Member States may, however, establish other indications equivalent to those laid down in Annex X for such wines, paragraphs 1 and 2 applying mutatis mutandis.
Use of one of the indications listed in the first subparagraph shall be permitted where the wine has been aged in a wood container in accordance with the national rules in force, even when the ageing process continues in another type of container. The Member States shall communicate to the Commission the measures they take to implement this Regulation.
The indications listed in the first subparagraph may not be used to describe a wine that has been produced with the aid of oak chips, even in association with the use of a wood container or wood containers.’
2.
Annex X is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (1), and in particular Article 12 (3) thereof,
Whereas Article 2 (1) (g) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 84/93 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3477/93 (3), provides that producers may withdraw from membership of a producer group after one year; whereas there are groups of tobacco producers which were set up well before the entry into force of the new common market organization which have in some cases provided for longer minimum membership periods in order to guarantee the group a more stable membership and the best possible operating conditions; whereas these groups should be allowed to maintain existing conditions unaltered;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 84/93, Member States must forward to the Commission draft decisions on recognition of groups; whereas verification of the draft decisions forwarded by Member States to the Commission constitutes a very heavy administrative burden; whereas, on the basis of the Commission's observations to date, the Member States have the information necessary for the correct application of Community provisions; whereas, therefore, the prior verification of draft decisions by the Commission is no longer indispensable and may be replaced by an examination as part of the Commission's general monitoring tasks;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EEC) No 84/93 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 2 (1) (g), the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:
'However, if the group:
- was set up prior to 1 August 1992, or is the result of a merger of groups set up before that date, the provisions of the first subparagraph shall not apply,
- receives the aid provided for in Title III of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1360/78 (4)(), the provisions referred to in Article 6 (1) (d) of the said Regulation shall apply.
'
2. In Article 3, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
'2. The Member State concerned shall approve the application for recognition or shall reject it within two months from the date of submission of the application.'
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas Article 5 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 makes provision for advance fixing of the refund to be suspended for basic products exported in the form of certain goods;
Whereas the situation on the market of the butter and the butteroil makes it necessary to adapt the period of validity of advance fixing certificates; whereas in order to prevent applications for advance fixing of refunds for speculative purposes, the abovementioned advance fixing should be suspended until this adjustment comes into force;
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
