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), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 2585/2001 (2), and in particular Arti-
cles 53 and 80 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)Chapter II of Title V and Annexes VII and VIII to Regulation
(EC) No 1493/1999 lay down rules relating to the description,designation and presentation of certain products covered by thatRegulation (‘wine sector products’) and the protection of certainparticulars and terms. Detailed rules for the implementation of
those provisions should therefore be adopted and the existing
legislation on the subject repealed, namely Commission Regula-tions (EEC) No 3201/90 of 16 October 1990 laying downdetailed rules for the description and presentation of wines andgrape musts(
3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 885/
2001(4), (EEC) No 3901/91 of 18 December 1991 laying down
certain detailed rules on the description and presentation of
special wines(5), (EC) No 554/95 of 13 March1995 laying
down detailed rules for the description and presentation of spark-ling and aerated sparkling wines(
6), as amended by Regulation
(EC) No 1915/96 (7), and (EC) No 881/98 of 24 April 1998
laying down detailed rules for the protection of the additional
traditional terms used to designate certain types of quality wineproduced in specified regions (quality wine psr)(
8), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1608/2000 (9).
(2)Certain rules on the labelling of foodstuffs are laid down inCouncil Directive 75/106/EEC of 19 December 1974 on the
approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the
making-up by volume of certain pre-packaged liquids (
10), as last
amended by Directive 89/676/EEC (11), Council Directive 89/
396/EEC of 14 June 1989 on indications or marks identifyingthe lot to which a foodstuff belongs (
12), as last amended by
Directive 92/11/EEC (13), and European Parliament and Council
Directive 2000/13/EC of 20 March2000 on th e approximation
of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling,presentation and advertising of foodstuffs(
14), as amended by
Commission Directive 2001/101/EC (15). Those rules also apply
to wine sector products, except where expressly excluded by
the Directives concerned.2002R0753 — EN — 08.07.2003 — 002.002 — 2

(3)The rules laid down in this Regulation should take account of
the experience gained in applying the existing legislation on
wine sector products as well as the rules laid down in the Direc-tives referred to above. In particular, the rules should besimplified as far as possible and made more readable, withprovisions harmonised across different product groups, whilsttaking account of product diversity.
(4)This Regulation should comply with the objectives of protectingthe legitimate interests of consumers and producers, ensuring thesmooth operation of the internal market and promoting theproduction of quality products as laid down in Article 47(1) of
Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999. It should also meet the require-
ments of Article 77 of that Regulation so that due account maybe taken, at the same time, of the objectives set out in Article 33and in Article 131 of the Treaty, and so that regard may also behad to the obligations arising from international agreementsconcluded in accordance withArticle 300(2) of th e Treaty.
(5)The concept of ‘labelling’ should be clarified in order to limitthe term to those aspects of the presentation of wine sectorproducts that concern the nature, quality or origin of the productsthemselves.
(6)To assist consumers, certain mandatory information should begrouped in a single visual field on the container, tolerance limitsshould be set for the indication of the actual alcoholic strengthand account should be taken of the specific character of theproducts concerned.
(7)The existing rules on the use of codes on labelling have proveduseful and should therefore be retained.
(8)Some wine sector products may not be intended for directhuman consumption. Member States should therefore be
permitted to exempt suchproducts from th e labelling rules,
provided that adequate control mechanisms are in force. Thesame should apply in the case of certain quality wines psr agedin the bottle.
(9)Wine sector products exported from the Community may need tosatisfy labelling requirements in third countries or provide infor-mation useful to consumers in those countries. Member Statesshould therefore be able to permit the use of other languagesfor certain terms on the label.
(10)Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 harmonises the labelling for allwine sector products with the model already established forsparkling wines, by allowing the use of terms other than thoseexpressly covered by Community legislation, provided that theyare accurate. The rules for implementing this Regulation shouldtherefore also be harmonised in the same way, using the model
established for sparkling wines, while ensuring that there is no
risk of these other terms being confused with the terms coveredby Community legislation and that such terms may be used onlyif operators can prove their accuracy where there is any doubt.
(11)In the interests of legal certainty, the existing definitions of‘bottler’ and ‘bottling’ should remain unchanged and a definitionof ‘importer’ should be introduced.
(12)The use of lead-based capsules to cover the closing devices ofcontainers holding products covered by Regulation (EC) No
1493/1999 should be banned, in order to avoid any risk, firstly,
of contamination, in particular by accidental contact withsuchproducts and, secondly, of environmental pollution from wastecontaining lead from suchcapsules.
(13)The use of certain types of bottle for certain products is a long-established practice in the Community and third countries. Suchbottles can evoke certain characteristics or a certain origin ofproducts in the minds of consumers due to their long-establisheduse. Such bottles should therefore be reserved for the wines inquestion.2002R0753 — EN — 08.07.2003 — 002.002 — 3
▼B
(14)To ensure the traceability and control of wine sector products,
certain particulars on the labelling should be repeated in registers
and on the accompanying documents, provided for by Commis-sion Regualtion (EC) No 884/2001 of 24 April 2001 layingdown detailed rules of application concerning the documentsaccompanying the carriage of wine products and the records tobe kept in the wine sector (
1).
(15)Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 provides for conditions to be laid
down for the use of certain terms. For some of these terms,
Community rules are necessary for the smooth functioning ofthe internal market. Such rules should, in general, be based onexisting provisions. For other terms, the Member States shouldlay down the rules for wine produced in their territory — whichshould be compatible with Community law — so that policy can
be developed as close as possible to the producer. The transpar-
ency of such rules should nevertheless be assured.
(16)As regards the obligatory indication of the name or companyname of the bottler or the consignor and the voluntary indicationof the name, address and occupation of one or more of thepersons involved in marketing, in order to ensure the smooth
operation of the internal market and to ensure that the consumer
is not misled, it should become compulsory to indicate theactivity of those persons by the use of terms such as ‘wine-grower’, ‘harvested by’, ‘merchant’, ‘distributed by’, ‘importer’,‘imported by’, and other similar terms.
(17)Terms referring to the organic production of grapes are governedsolely by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June
1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indica-
tions referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs (
2),
as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 473/2002(
3), which means that they may be used for all wine sector
products. The provisions of this Regulation on particularsconcerning the production method do not therefore cover those
terms.
(18)The use and regulation of certain terms (other than designations
of origin) to describe quality wine sector products is a long-established practice in the Community. Such traditional expres-sions can evoke in the minds of consumers a production orageing method or a quality, colour or type of wine or a particular
event linked to the history of the wine. So as to ensure fair
competition and avoid misleading consumers, a common frame-work should be laid down for registering and protecting suchtraditional expressions.
(19)In the interests of simplicity and clarity, the labelling of liqueurwines and semi-sparkling wines should be harmonised as far aspossible, taking due account of product diversity, using the
approachlaid down in Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 for still
wines. The approach for labelling other wine sector productsshould be similarly harmonised, although the specific nature ofthese products and their markets requires a greater degree ofdifferentiation, in particular as regards mandatory information.
(20)The rules for labelling third-country wine sector products circu-lating on the Community market should also be harmonised as
far as possible withth e approachlaid down for Community
wine sector products in order to avoid misleading consumersand unfair competition for producers. However, considerationshould be given to the differences in production conditions,winemaking traditions and legislation in third countries.
(21)The provisions of this Regulation should be without prejudice toany specific rules negotiated under agreements withth ird coun-2002R0753 — EN — 08.07.2003 — 002.002 — 4
(1) OJ L 128, 10.5.2001, p. 32.

tries concluded under the procedure provided for in Article 133
of the Treaty.
(22)Specific and detailed rules on the labelling of sparkling winesare already laid down in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No
1493/1999. However, certain additional implementing rules
should be laid down.
(23)Wherever possible, the rules for aerated semi-sparkling winesshould match those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 for aerated sparkling wines, taking due account of productdiversity.
(24)Article 80 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 provides formeasures to be adopted to ease the transition from the previous
wine sector legislation to that Regulation. So as to avoid unne-
cessary burdens on operators, provisions should be enacted toensure that products labelled in accordance with the existingrules may continue to be marketed, and that labels printed inaccordance withth ose rules may be used during a transitionalperiod.
(25)Article 81 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 repeals the existing
Council legislation in the wine sector, including that dealing
withaspects covered by th is Regulation. In order to allow asmooth transition and the continuity of the applicable arrange-ments pending the finalisation and adoption of implementingmeasures, Regulation (EC) No 1608/2000, as last amended byRegulation (EC) No 699/2002 (
1), provides for some of the
Council provisions repealed by Article 81 to remain in force for
a brief transitional period. The changes made by this Regulationto the existing rules will require the Member States to adopt anumber of implementing measures. So as to allow a reasonableperiod for those measures to be adopted and for operators to
adapt to the new rules, some of the Council provisions repealed
by Article 81 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 should remainin force for a further brief transitional period. Regulation (EC)No 1608/2000 should therefore be repealed.
(26)The measures provided in this Regulation should apply only tothe products referred to in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No1493/1999, without prejudice to the provisions of that Regulation
that apply to other products, in particular Article 52(2), (3) and
(4) thereof and Annexes VII(C) and VIII(I)(3) thereto.
