Certain rules on the labelling of foodstuffs are laid down
in Council 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 identifying the 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 March 2000 on
the 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.

The rules laid down in this Regulation should take
the experience gained in applying the
account of
existing legislation on wine sector products as well as
the rules laid down in the Directives referred to above.
In particular, the rules should be simplified as far as
possible and made more readable, with provisions
harmonised across different product groups, whilst
taking account of product diversity.

This Regulation should comply with the objectives of
protecting the legitimate interests of consumers and
producers,

internal market and promoting the production of

arising

The concept of (cid:145)labelling(cid:146) should be clarified in order to
limit the term to those aspects of the presentation of
wine sector products that concern the nature, quality or
origin of the products themselves.

To assist consumers, certain mandatory information

tolerance

limits

The existing rules on the use of codes on labelling have
proved useful and should therefore be retained.

Some wine sector products may not be intended for
direct human consumption. Member States
should
therefore be permitted to exempt such products from
the labelling rules, provided that adequate control
mechanisms are in force. The same should apply in the
case of certain quality wines psr aged in the bottle.

(8)

(9) Wine sector products exported from the Community
may need to satisfy labelling requirements in third
countries or provide information useful to consumers in
those countries. Member States should therefore be able
to permit the use of other languages for certain terms
on the label.

(10)

Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 harmonises the labelling
for all wine sector products with the model already
established for sparkling wines, by allowing the use of
terms other than those expressly covered by Community
legislation, provided that they are accurate. The rules for
implementing this Regulation should therefore 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 covered by Community legislation and
that such terms may be used only if operators can
prove their accuracy where there is any doubt.

(11)

In the interests of legal certainty, the existing definitions
of (cid:145)bottler(cid:146) and (cid:145)bottling(cid:146) should remain unchanged and a
definition of (cid:145)importer(cid:146) should be introduced.

The use of
lead-based capsules to cover the closing
devices of containers holding products covered by
in
Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 should be banned,
order to avoid any risk,
in
firstly, of contamination,
particular by accidental contact with such products and,
environmental pollution from waste
secondly, of
containing lead from such capsules.

The use of certain types of bottle for certain products is
a long-established practice in the Community and third
countries. Such bottles can evoke certain characteristics
in the minds of
or a certain origin of products
long-established use. Such
consumers due to their
bottles should therefore be reserved for the wines in
question.

in registers

To ensure the traceability and control of wine sector
products, certain particulars on the labelling should be
repeated
accompanying
documents, provided for by Commission Regualtion

detailed rules of application concerning the documents
accompanying the carriage of wine products and the
records to be kept in the wine sector (1).

and on the

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 of the internal market. Such rules
should, in general, be based on existing provisions. For
other terms, the Member States should lay down the
rules for wine produced in their territory (cid:151) which
should be compatible with Community law (cid:151) so that
policy can be developed as close as possible to the
producer. The

nevertheless be assured.

not misled, it should become compulsory to indicate the

In the interests of simplicity and clarity, the labelling of
liqueur wines and semi-sparkling wines
should be
harmonised as far as possible, taking due account of
product diversity, using the approach laid down in
Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 for still wines. The
approach for
labelling other wine sector products
should be similarly harmonised, although the specific
nature of these products and their markets requires a
greater degree of differentiation, in particular as regards
mandatory information.

The
sector
products circulating on the Community market should
also be harmonised as far as possible with the approach
laid down for Community wine sector products in order
to avoid misleading consumers and unfair competition
for producers. However, consideration should be given
to the differences in production conditions, winemaking
traditions and legislation in third countries.

The provisions of this Regulation should be without

(23) Wherever possible, the rules for aerated semi-sparkling
wines should match those laid down in Regulation (EC)
No 1493/1999 for aerated sparkling wines, taking due
account of product diversity.

(24) Article 80 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 provides
for measures to be adopted to ease the transition from
the previous wine sector legislation to that Regulation.
So as
to avoid unnecessary burdens on operators,
provisions should be enacted to ensure that products
labelled in accordance with the existing rules may
continue to be marketed, and that
labels printed in
accordance with those rules may be used during a
transitional period.

(25) Article 81 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 repeals the
existing Council legislation in the wine sector, including
that dealing with aspects covered by this Regulation. In
order to allow a smooth transition and the continuity of
the applicable arrangements pending the finalisation and
adoption of implementing measures, Regulation (EC) No
1608/2000, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
699/2002 (3), provides
the Council
for
provisions repealed by Article 81 to remain in force for
a brief transitional period. The changes made by this
Regulation to the existing rules will require the Member
States to adopt a number of implementing measures. So
as to allow a reasonable period 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 remain in
force for a further brief transitional period. Regulation
(EC) No 1608/2000 should therefore be repealed.

The measures provided in this Regulation should apply

Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, 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.
