COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 519/2007
of 7 May 2007
amending Regulation (EC) No 527/2003 authorising the offer and delivery for direct human consumption of certain wines imported from Argentina which may have undergone oenological processes not provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
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 45(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
By way of derogation from Article 45(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, Regulation (EC) No 527/2003 (2) authorises imports into the Community of wine produced in Argentina which has undergone oenological processes not authorised by Community rules, in particular the addition of malic acid. That authorisation expired on 31 December 2006.
(2)
The use of malic acid is an oenological practice approved by the International Organisation of Vine and Wine.
(3)
Negotiations are currently underway between the Community and Mercosur, of which Argentina is a member, on an agreement on trade in wine. These negotiations concern, in particular, the respective oenological practices used by both parties and the protection of geographical indications.
(4)
Pending the entry into force of an agreement between the Community and Mercosur on trade in wine mutually recognising the oenological practices of each Party and thus facilitating the import into the Community of wines originating in Argentina to which malic acid may have been added, the authorisation of this process for Argentinian wines should be extended until the date of that entry into force, but not later than 31 December 2008.
(5)
Regulation (EC) No 527/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In the second subparagraph of Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 527/2003, the date ‘31 December 2006’ is hereby replaced by ‘31 December 2008’.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas the import system applied by Greece at the time of accession does not include restrictive measures ; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77 should therefore be amended so that Greek production can qualify for financial compensation for all quantities of Greek lemons to be processed, with the exception of those intended for the production of juice for sale on the Italian market,

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1981.
It shall apply only to processing contracts concluded on or after that date.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas the implementation of measures introduced by Directive 81/527/EEC has effectively contributed to the development of agriculture in the overseas departments; whereas, however, the low level of economic development and the underdevelopment of the agricultural sector of the said departments as compared with the other Community regions calls for the possibility of continuing the work laid down in the programme for applying the measures, in order to consolidate progress achieved;
Whereas it is necessary in particular to step up the technical assistance effort called for by the innovative character of the diversification of production in order, additionally, to ensure a link between experimental stations and agricultural holdings;
Whereas the financial breakdown should be made more flexible in line with the special requirements of application,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

2. Article 6 (1) and (3) shall be replaced by the following:
'1. The duration of the common measure shall be not more than seven years from the date on which the programme is approved.'
