Proposal for a

COUNCIL DECISION

on the conclusion of an agreement between the European Community and Canada
on trade in wines and spirit drinks

(presented by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This  agreement  between  Canada  and  the  European  Community  is  the  result  of  bilateral
negotiations  which  took  place  from  7  November  2001  to  24  April  2003  on  the  basis  of  a
negotiating  mandate  adopted  by  the  Council  on  1  August  2001  (Doc.  11170/01).  The
agreement comprises arrangements for the reciprocal trade in wines and spirit drinks with a
view to creating favourable conditions for its harmonious development.

The  agreement  specifies  oenological  practices  which  may  be  used  by  producers  of  wine
exported to the other Party, as well as a procedure for accepting new oenological practices.
The  Community's  simplified  system  of  certification  will  be  applied  to  imported  wines
originating in Canada. Canada will not introduce import certification for Community wines
and  will  simplify  the  extent  of  such  testing  requirements  as  are  currently  applied  by
provinces, within a year of entry into force. Production standards are agreed for wine made
from  grapes  frozen  on  the  vine.  Concerning  production  standards  for  spirit  drinks,  the
agreement  provides  that  Canada  will  adhere  to  Community  standards  for  its  exports  of
whisky to the Community.

Procedures  whereby  geographical  indications  relating  to  wines  and  spirit  drinks  of  either
Party may be protected in the territory of the other Party are agreed. The current "generic"
status in Canada of 21 wine names will be ended by the following dates: 31 December 2013
for Chablis, Champagne, Port and Porto, and Sherry; 31 December 2008 for Bourgogne and
Burgundy, Rhin and Rhine, and Sauterne and Sauternes; the date of entry into force of the
agreement for Bordeaux, Chianti, Claret, Madeira, Malaga, Marsala, Medoc and Médoc, and
Mosel and Moselle. The spirit designations Grappa, Ouzo, Jägertee, Korn, Kornbrand,  and
Pacharán, will be protected in Canada for product of the Community, while the designation
Rye Whisky will be protected for product of Canada.

The  agreement  will  be  managed  by  means  of  a  Joint  Committee  and  procedures  are  laid
down  for  amending  annexes,  arranging  consultations,  dealing  with  disputes  including
reference to arbitration, and terminating the agreement.

Concerning the Canadian provincial alcohol monopolies, the Liquor Boards, the agreement
between the EC and Canada of 28 February 1989 is substantially enhanced in order to ensure
improved  commercial  treatment  of  suppliers  of  Community  product  in  relation  to  pricing,
opportunity  to  compete  for  purchases,  listing  decisions,  and  conditions  of  retail  sale.  The
Liquor Boards may continue to provide for exclusive outlets for wines and spirits produced
in Canada and for wines bottled in Québec under similar conditions that have applied since
1989.

It has not been possible to reach agreement at this stage on wine labelling (matters other than
the use of geographical indications) and the use of the term "Highland Whisky". The Parties
are committed to further bilateral negotiations with a view to reaching agreement.

The Commission therefore proposes that the Council adopt the proposal for a decision on the
conclusion of this agreement set out in the Annex.

Financial impact: there is no financial impact arising from this agreement.

Canada  on  24  April  2003  and  by  the  Community  on  25  April  2003.  Interim  provisions  on
labelling  have  been  agreed  between  the  Community  and  Canada  and  they  will  continue  to
negotiate rules applicable to labelling in the Joint Committee with a view to reaching a final
agreement. This agreement should be approved.

In  order  to  ensure  a  proper  functioning  of  the  agreement  a  Joint  Committee  has  been
established. The Commission should represent the Community in the Joint Committee.

territory,  subject to the justification  of  the  oenological  practice,  process  or  modification  in
question to the climatic,  geological or  other  production  conditions  in  the  areas  in  which  it
will be used.

Nothing  in  this  agreement  shall  limit  the  use  of  any  oenological  practice,  process  or
modification not accepted by a Contracting Party in accordance with the procedures in this

Article 9
MODIFICATION OF ANNEX I

The  Contracting  Parties  shall  modify  the  relevant  paragraph  of  Annex  I  to  add  the
oenological  practice,  process  or  modification  notified  pursuant  to  Article  6(3)  within
12 months of the date of such notification.

By way of derogation from paragraph 1, where a Contracting Party has invoked the objection
procedure provided for in Article 8, the Contracting Parties shall act in accordance with the
outcome of the consultations, unless the matter is referred to arbitration, in which case:

(a)

(b)

if  the  arbitrators  determine  that  the  notified  oenological  practice,  process  or
modification fulfils the requirements set out in Article 6(2)(a) and (b), the Contracting
Parties shall amend the relevant paragraph of Annex I to add the oenological practice
or process within 90 days of the date of such determination;

notifying  Contracting  Party  produced  in  accordance  with  the  oenological  practice,
process  or  modification  in  question,  as  referred  to  in  Article  7,  shall  cease  after
30 days from the date of such determination. Such determination shall not affect the
continued applicability of Article 7 in relation to the marketing of wine imported into
the territory of the Contracting Parties before the date of the determination.

In  implementation  of  paragraphs  1  and  2,  after  receiving  an  official  application  by
diplomatic  note  from  Canada  justifying  that  the  names  in  paragraph  1  are  geographical
indications,  the  Community  shall  take  the  necessary  steps  to  have  the  names  listed  in
Annex III(b) protected by the competent authorities responsible for enforcement so that any
wines incorrectly presented or described with a protected Canadian geographical indication
are not placed on, or are withdrawn from, the market.

Article 12

agreement, Canada shall recognize the following spirit drink names as referring only to spirit

to do so would not mislead consumers.

Article 18
LABELLING OF SPIRIT DRINKS

In  the  territory  of  Canada,  spirit  drinks  may  not  be  labelled  with  a  term  which  is  false,
deceptive  or  misleading  or is likely  to  create an  erroneous  impression  about  the  character,
composition, quality, origin or value of a spirit drink, and in particular where spirit drinks are
labelled with the name of or reference to a Member State of the Community.

In  the  territory  of  the  Community,  spirit  drinks  may  not  be  labelled  with  a  term  which  is

matured for at least three years in wooden casks not exceeding 700 litres capacity;
bottled at not less than 40% by volume; and
to which no substance other than water and spirit caramel has been added.

Concerning  the  maximum  distillation  strength  of  whisky,  distillate  produced  in  Canada
between 31 December 1990 and 31 December 2002 at a strength such that the distillate has
the  aroma  and  taste  derived  from  the  raw  materials  used  shall  be  accepted  as  meeting  the
maximum  distillation  strength  described  at  the  third  indent  of  paragraph  1  and  may  be
included  in  whisky  exported  from  Canada  to  the  Community  until  31  December  2008,

TITLE V
WINE LABELLING

Article 20
PRINCIPLES OF WINE LABELLING

The Contracting Parties agree that information on wine labels shall:

specific limits on contaminants and residues, with a view to agreeing a common approach.

Article 36
MARKETING OF PRE-EXISTING STOCKS

Wines or spirit drinks which, at the date of or prior to the entry into force of this agreement,
have  been  produced  in  or  imported  into  the  territory  of  a  Contracting  Party  in  accordance
with its internal laws and regulations, but the marketing of which in that Contracting Party
would  otherwise  be  prohibited  by  this  agreement,  may  be  marketed  under  the  following
conditions:

(a)

where wine has been produced using one or more oenological practices or processes
not  referred to  in  Annexes  I  or  II  the  wines  may  be  marketed  in  the  territory  of  the
Contracting Party concerned until stocks are exhausted;

(b) where wines or spirit drinks are described or presented in a manner that is inconsistent
with Title III, Title IV or Title V, they may continue to be marketed, in the territory of
the  Contracting  Party  concerned,  using  the  same  labelling  indications  by  which  the
products were legally produced or imported, by:

(i)

(ii)

wholesalers or producers, for a period of three years; and

retailers, until stocks are exhausted.

Wines  or  spirit  drinks  produced  in  or  imported  into  the  territory  of  a  Contracting  Party  in

Article 41
ENTRY INTO FORCE

This agreement shall enter into force on the first day of the second month following the date on which
the Contracting Parties have exchanged diplomatic notes confirming the completion of their respective
procedures for the entry into force of this agreement.

Article 42
TEMPORARY NON-APPLICATION OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS AND TERMINATION

In  the  event  that  the  use  of  a  geographical  indication  listed  in  Annex  III(a)  is  asserted  in
Canada under the circumstances foreseen in Articles 24.4 and 24.5 and the first sentence of
Article 24.6 of the TRIPS Agreement, Canada may elect not to apply, to the minimum extent
necessary,  the  provisions  of  Articles  10(2)  and  14(2)  of  this  agreement.  Should  the
circumstances  described  in  this  paragraph  arise,  Canada  shall  notify  the  Community  in
writing at the earliest available opportunity. Any reliance by Canada on the first sentence of
Article 24.6 of the TRIPS Agreement shall be subject to Article 12.

On receipt of the notice referred to in paragraph 1, the Community may request a meeting of
the Joint Committee, which, by way of derogation from Article 27(2), shall take place within
ten days, if so requested. Such a meeting of the Joint Committee shall explore the full range
of options available to the Contracting Parties to address the issue that caused Canada to rely
on paragraph 1.

In the event that Canada does not apply Article 10(2) or 14(2) pursuant to paragraph 1, and
the Joint Committee fails to arrive at a mutually agreed solution within 30 days from the date
on  which  the  meeting  of  the  Joint  Committee  pursuant  to  paragraph  2  was  held,  the
Community may decide not to apply certain provisions, in whole or in part, of this agreement
or the 1989 agreement. Any such measures taken by the Community shall be proportionate
to the adverse commercial effect caused by Canada's reliance on paragraph  1 and  may  not
last longer than the non-application of the said Articles by Canada.

The Community shall not adopt measures pursuant to paragraph 3 when the circumstances
causing reliance by Canada on paragraph 1 relate to a name that the Community has agreed
can  be  used  in  the  Community  market  or  in  export  markets  under  agreements  with  third
countries.

Either Contracting Party may terminate this agreement by giving one year's written notice to
the other Contracting Party. However, in case the use of a geographical indication listed in
Annexes III(a) or IV(a) is asserted in Canada under the first sentence of Article 24.6 of the
TRIPS Agreement as foreseen in paragraph 1, the Community may terminate this agreement
by giving three months written notice to Canada.

Should  either  Contracting  Party  terminate  the  1989  agreement  as  amended  by  this
agreement,  such  termination  shall  also  effect  a  simultaneous  termination  of  the  present
agreement.

The term "Muscat" may be used as a synonym for any Muscat grape variety of the species Vitis vinifera
to produce a single-varietal  wine, or any blend of Muscat  grape varieties of the species Vitis vinifera
when  their  combined  volume  would  permit  its  use  in  a  single-varietal,  dual-varietal  or  triple-varietal
wine.

LAYING DOWN THE PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED
IN CASE OF A REFERENCE TO ARBITRATION

Three  arbitrators  shall  be  appointed  to  examine  the  issue.  The  arbitrators  shall  be  well-
qualified  governmental  or  non-governmental  experts  in  either  international  trade  law  or
policy whose impartiality is beyond doubt.

In the case of a reference to arbitration made pursuant to Article 8, the arbitrators shall be
experts of international standing in the field of oenology whose impartiality is beyond doubt.

Upon  referring  a  dispute  to  arbitration  pursuant  to  Article  8  or  Article  29,  a  Contracting
Party shall notify the other Contracting Party of the selection of an arbitrator. Within 30 days
of this notification, the other Contracting Party shall select a second arbitrator and notify the
other Contracting Party of the selection.

The  Contracting  Parties  shall  jointly  select  the  third  arbitrator  within  30  days  of  the
appointment  of  the  second  arbitrator.  The  arbitrator  thus  appointed  shall  preside  over  the
arbitration.

If  the  Contracting  Parties  are  unable  to  select  jointly  a  third  arbitrator  within  the  30  day
period referred to in paragraph 4, the necessary appointments shall be made within 60 days,
at the request of either Contracting Party, by the President or a Member of the International
Court of Justice applying the criteria of paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Annex, in accordance with
the practice of the Court.

The  Contracting  Parties  shall  jointly  agree  on  the  rules  of  procedure  for  the  arbitration
proceedings within 30 days of the selection of the third arbitrator. In the event of a failure to
agree to such rules, the three arbitrators shall jointly determine within 30 days the rules of
procedure that shall apply.

Unless the Contracting Parties otherwise agree within 90 days from the date of the receipt of
the notification pursuant to Article 29(3), the terms of reference of the arbitrators shall be:

"To examine, in the light of the relevant provisions of the agreement, the matter referred to
arbitration  (as  described  in  the  notification  referred  to  in  Article  29(3))  and  to  make  such
findings, determinations and recommendations as provided in paragraph 8 of this Annex."

The three arbitrators shall arrive at conclusions in relation to the issue in question within a
maximum  of  90  days  of the appointment  of  the  third  arbitrator.  Such  conclusions  shall  be
arrived  at  by  majority  decision.  Specifically,  the  arbitrators,  in  their  conclusions,  shall  set
out:

(a)

(b)

findings of law and fact, together with the reasons therefor;

a determination as to whether the measure at issue is inconsistent with the obligations
of  this  agreement,  or  in  the  case  of  an  issue  referred  to  arbitration  pursuant  to
Article 8, its determination as to whether the notified oenological practice, process, or
modification fulfils the requirements set out in Article 6(2)(a) and (b); and

(c)

recommendations, if any, for the resolution of the dispute.

The expenses of the arbitrators shall be borne by the Contracting Parties in equal shares. The
fees and expenses payable to the arbitrators shall be subject to the schedule established by
the Joint Committee.

the term 'basic price' is replaced by the term 'base price';

the following definitions for 'cost of service differential' and 'retail sale' are added:

– 

– 

" 'cost  of  service  differential'  means  the  amount  by  which  the  cost  of  service
attributable to an imported product differs from the cost of service attributable to the
like domestic product",
" 'retail sale' means the supply of alcoholic beverages to the final consumer or sale to a
restaurant, bar, club or other licensed establishment".

Article 2 (Distilled spirits) is replaced by the following Article:

Article C

2.

"Article 2
National treatment and most favoured nation treatment

Canadian  competent  authorities  shall  accord  national  treatment  and  most-favoured-nation
treatment to alcoholic beverages that are the product of the Community in accordance with
the  WTO  Agreement.  With  respect  to  a  province,  national  treatment  and  most  favoured
nation treatment shall mean treatment no less favourable than the most favourable treatment
accorded by such province to any like goods that are the product of Canada or of any other
third country.

By  way  of  derogation  from  paragraph  1,  Canadian  competent  authorities  may  maintain  a
measure  within  their  respective  jurisdictions  provided  it  is  implemented  in  a  manner
compatible with Canadian law:

(a)

(b)

(c)

limiting  sales  by  a  distillery  or  a  winery  on  its  premises  to  distilled  spirits  or  wines
produced there at prices no lower than those of the same distilled spirits or wines sold
through outlets available for product of the Community;

requiring private wine store outlets in Ontario and British Columbia to sell only wines
produced by Canadian wineries;

requiring  that,  with  the  existing  exception  of  eight  brand-sizes  of  wines  bearing  an
appellation  of  origin,  wine  without  appellation  of  origin  and  without  indication  of
varietal  names  sold  in  grocery  stores  in  Québec  under  applicable  regulations,  be

103

bottled in Québec, provided that alternative outlets are provided in Québec for the sale
of wine that is the product of the Community, whether or not such wine is bottled in
Québec."

Article 3 (Beer) is replaced by the following Article:

Article D

"Article 3
Geographical Indications

1.

2.

Canadian  competent  authorities  shall  not  list  or  sell  wines  or  spirit  drinks  that  incorrectly
bear a geographical indication protected under Canadian law.

Canadian competent authorities, in the exercise of any functions relating to the purchase and
sale  of  wines,  shall  maintain  their  purchasing  rules  or  policy  in  respect  of  geographical
names of the Community so as to not market wines not originating in the place indicated by
the name in question, where they did not do so on 1 November 2002."

Article 4 (Wine) is replaced by the following Article:

Article E

"Article 4
Commercial treatment

Canadian competent authorities shall, in exercising their responsibilities for the purchase, distribution
and  retail  sale  of  product  of  the  Community,  adhere  to  the  provisions  of  GATT  Article  XVII
concerning state trading enterprises, in particular to make any such decisions solely in accordance with
commercial considerations and shall afford the enterprises of the Community adequate opportunity, in
accordance with customary business practice, to compete for participation in such purchases."

The following Article 4a is added:

Article F

"Article 4a
Pricing

1.

pricing measure is non-discriminatory,  applies  to  all retail  sales,  and  is  in conformity  with
Article 2.

A cost of service differential may be applied to product of the Community only in so far as it
is  no  greater  than  the  additional  costs  necessarily  associated  with  the  marketing  of
Community  product, taking  into  account  additional  costs  resulting from  inter  alia  delivery
methods and frequency.

The cost of service differential shall be justified in line with standard accounting procedures
by independent auditors on the basis of an audit completed on request within one year of the
entry into force of the agreement between the European Community and Canada on trade in
wines and spirit drinks and thereafter on request at intervals of not less than four years. The
audits shall be made available to the Community within one year of a request being made."

104

Article 5(2)(b) is replaced by the following:

Article G

"(b)

in the case of a refusal to list or decision to delist, written reasons for those decisions;".

Article 7 (Relation to GATT) is replaced by the following Article:

Article H

Final provisions

1.

2.

3.

The Parties retain their rights and obligations under the WTO Agreement.

Nothing  in  this  agreement  shall  prejudice  the  rights  of  a  supplier,  his  agent  or  other
interested party under Canadian law.

In so far as any Canadian provincial authority does not exercise its authority to direct product
selection and retail sales, it will not be covered by the provisions of this agreement."

Article I

In Article 8:

1.

2.

the last sentence of the second subparagraph shall read:

"It may be terminated by either party on one year's notice."

the following subparagraph is added:

106

JOINT DECLARATION

on rules of origin

The Contracting Parties agree to consult on the issue of rules of origin related to wine following the
conclusion of negotiations in the WTO Harmonization Work Programme for non-preferential rules of
origin with a view to reflecting the outcome of those negotiations in this agreement.

JOINT DECLARATION

on WTO negotiations

The  Contracting  Parties  hereby  declare  the  provisions  of  this  agreement  to  be  without  prejudice  to
their respective positions in the ongoing negotiations within the WTO related to intellectual property
and rules of origin.

JOINT DECLARATION

on labelling

The  Contracting  Parties  agree  that  provisions  referring  to  terms  regulated  in  Canada  or  in  the
Community shall only apply to the extent those terms are so regulated.

The  Contracting  Parties  note  the  importance  attached  by  each  to  their  respective  systems  of  label
regulation  and  in  particular  by  the  Community  to  traditional  expressions  used  to  denote  quality  of
certain wines and the need to protect these expressions in order to avoid misleading consumers. The
Community  recognizes  that  Canada  has  fundamental  concerns  about  the  nature,  scope  and
applicability  of  this  protection.  The  Contracting  Parties  agree  to  continue  to  discuss  this  issue
bilaterally.

The Contracting Parties agree that where wines have been certified by a competent Canadian authority
listed in Annex VI to meet the requirements of VQA rules in Canada, they shall be presumed to have
met the requirements under Article 20 and Article C of Annex V.

JOINT DECLARATION

on outlets

The  Contracting  Parties  take  note  of  the  relative  commercial  significance  of  outlets  available  to
product  of  the  Community  and  product  bottled  in  the  Community  compared  with  that  of  restricted
outlets. If, as a result of the derogations contained in Annex VIII Article C, the relative commercial
significance of the restricted outlets should substantially  increase,  the  Parties shall  examine  whether
any modifications to those derogations are necessary to retain the equilibrium of concessions under the
1989 agreement and this agreement.

JOINT DECLARATION

on "Highland Whisky"

The Contracting Parties agree to enter into discussions concerning the term "Highland Whisky", with a
view to reaching an agreement by 30 June 2005 concerning the use of the term, in line with any WTO
rights and obligations, which does not mislead consumers as to the origin of the whisky, and which
takes into account the usage of the term in Canada in recent years.

107

DECLARATION BY THE COMMUNITY

on geographical indications

The Community declares that the names listed in Annex III(a) and Annex IV(a) to the agreement are
geographical indications within the meaning of Article 22.1 of the TRIPS Agreement, are in use and
protected in the Community.

DECLARATION BY CANADA

on geographical indications

Canada  declares  that  the  names  listed  in  Annex  III(b)  and  Annex  IV(b)  to  the  agreement  are
geographical indications within the meaning of Article 22.1 of the TRIPS Agreement, are in use and
protected in Canada.
