EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

This agreement between the European Community and the United States of America 
(“United  States”)  is  the  result  of  the  bilateral  negotiations  which  resumed  in 
October 2000  on  the  basis  of  the  Council  conclusions  concerning  bilateral  wine 
agreements of 20 October 2000 (doc. 12192/00). This agreement contains provisions 
governing  bilateral  trade  in  wine  with  a  view  to  foster  the  development  of  trade  in 
wine  within  the  framework  of  increased  mutual  understanding  between  the  two 
Parties  and  to  provide  a  harmonious  environment  for  addressing  wine  trade  issues 
between the Parties, 

In  the  present  agreement,  each  Party  recognises  that  the  laws,  regulations  and 
requirements of the other Party relating to wine making, which are listed in Annex I 
of the Agreement, fulfil the objectives of its own laws, regulations and requirements. 
However,  those  US  wine-making  practices  which  are  not  covered  by  existing 
Community  authorisations  set  forth  in  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  1037/2001  and 
prolonged  by  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  2324/2003,  will  only  be  accepted  for 
wines exported to the Community after the United States has notified the Community 
of the  change of status of the 17 EU wine names which  are currently  considered as 
semi-generic  terms  in  the  USA.  Regarding  new  wine-making  practices  that  are  not 
covered by the Agreement, the Parties have agreed to a procedure to assess them. 

Both  parties  recognise  the  other  Party’s  wine  names  of  origin.  With  regards  to  the 
17 EU  wine  names  which  are  currently  considered  as  semi-generic  in  the  USA  and 
which  are  listed  in  Annex  I  of  the  Agreement,  i.e.  Burgundy,  Chablis,  Champagne, 
Chianti,  Claret,  Haut-Sauterne,  Hock,  Madeira,  Malaga,  Marsala,  Moselle,  Port, 
Retsina,  Rhine,  Sauterne,  Sherry  and  Tokay,  the  United  States  shall  seek  to  change 
the  legal  status  of  these  terms  to  restrict  their  use  on  the  US  market  solely  to  wine 
originating  in  the  Community,  subject  to  a  grandfathering  clause  covering  existing 
U.S brand names containing or consisting of these terms. 

The United States will benefit from a simplified certification scheme once the change 
in  legal  status  of  the  17  wine  names  has  been  notified  by  the  United  States  to  the 
European Community. Community wines will be exempted from the U.S certification 
requirements, which is for the clear benefit of Community exports of wine. 

On  labelling,  the  United  States  accepts  the  main  principles  of  the  Community 
labelling  rules  and agrees  to seek to  resolve  any  bilateral issues concerning  trade in 
wine  through  informal  bilateral  consultations  rather  than  through  dispute  settlement 
mechanisms. The United States is allowed to use 14 EU traditional expressions, i.e. 
château, classic, clos, cream, crusted/crusting, fine, late bottled vintage, noble, ruby, 
superior, sur lie,  tawny, vintage and vintage character under  certain conditions and 
for a limited period of time.  

A second phase negotiation is foreseen in the Agreement and shall begin 90 days after 
the  date  of  entry  into  force  of  the  agreement.  This  further  negotiation  will,  among 
other  things,  include  dialogues  on  issues  of  major  importance  for  the  Community 
wine sector such as geographical indications, the matter of names of origin including 
the  future  of  the  semi-generic  terms,  the  use  of  traditional  expressions,  low  alcohol 
wines, certification, wine-making practices and the creation of a joint committee.

8. 

Both  Parties  also  agree  to  exchange  views  on  wine  matters  affecting  international 
trade  and  on  how  international  cooperation  covering  wine  matters  might  be  best 
structured. 

Community exports of wine to the United States amounted to about EUR 2 billion in 
2004  (EUR 1,842  billion),  which  is  about  40%  of  the  Community  total  exports  of 
wine, while the US exports of wine to the Community amounted to EUR 415 million 
only.  Considering the  importance  of the  US market for  the Community  wine  sector 
and its objectives being  to consolidate and  further develop  our  trading relation with 
the United States in the wine sector, the Commission recommends that the Agreement 
on Trade in wine should now be adopted. To that effect, the Commission submits to 
the Council a proposal for a decision on the conclusion of the Agreement between the 
European Community and the United States of America on Trade in Wine, which is 
annexed to the present proposal.

There  is  no  financial  impact  on  the  budget  of  the  European  Communities,  which  is 
arising from this agreement.

TITLE II 
WINE-MAKING PRACTICES AND SPECIFICATIONS 

Article 4 
PRESENT WINE-MAKING PRACTICES AND SPECIFICATIONS 

Each Party recognises that the laws, regulations and requirements of the other Party 
relating  to  wine  making  fulfil  the  objectives  of  its  own  laws,  regulations  and 
requirements,  in  that  they  authorise  wine-making  practices  that  do  not  change  the 
character of wine arising from its origin in the grapes in a manner inconsistent with 
good wine-making practices. These practices include such practices that  address the 
reasonable technological or practical need to enhance the keeping or other qualities or 
stability of the wine and that achieve the winemaker’s desired effect, including with 
respect  to  not  creating  an  erroneous  impression  about  the  product’s  character  and 
composition. 

Within the scope of this Agreement as defined in Article 3, neither Party shall restrict, 
on  the  basis  of  either  wine-making  practices  or  product  specifications,  the 
importation, marketing or sale of wine originating in the territory of the other Party 
that  is  produced  using  wine-making  practices  that  are  authorised  under  laws, 
regulations  and  requirements  of  the  other  Party  listed  in  Annex  I  and  published  or 
communicated to it by that other Party. 

Article 5 
NEW WINE-MAKING PRACTICES AND SPECIFICATIONS 

If a Party proposes to authorise for commercial use in its territory a new wine-making 
practice  or  modify  an  existing  wine-making  practice  authorised  under  the  laws, 
regulations and requirements listed in Annex I, and it intends to propose the inclusion 
of  the  practice  among  those  authorised  in  the  Annex  I  documents,  it  shall  provide 
public  notice  and  specific  notice  to  the  other  Party  and  provide  a  reasonable 
opportunity for comment and to have those comments considered. 

If  the  new  wine-making  practice  or  modification  referred  to  in  paragraph  1  is 
authorised,  the  authorising  Party  shall  notify  the  other  Party  in  writing  of  that 
authorisation within 60 days. 

A Party may, within 90 days of receiving the notification provided for in paragraph 2, 
object  in  writing  to  the  authorised  wine-making  practice,  on  the  grounds  that  it  is 
inconsistent  with  the  objectives  referred  to  in  Article  4(1)  or  the  criteria  set  out  in 
Article 3(1),  and  request  consultations  pursuant  to  Article 11  concerning  this  wine-
making practice.

TITLE III 
SPECIFIC PROVISIONS 

Article 6 
USE OF CERTAIN TERMS ON WINE LABELS WITH RESPECT  
TO WINES SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES 

With respect to wine that is sold in the territory of the United States, the United States 
shall seek to change the legal status of the terms in Annex II to restrict the use of the 
terms  on  wine  labels  solely  to  wine  originating  in  the  Community.  Labels  for  such 
wines  may  use  the  terms  in  Annex  II  in  a  manner  consistent  with  the  US  wine 
labelling regulations in force as of 14 September 2005. 

Paragraph  1  shall  not  apply  with  respect  to  any  person  or  its  successor  in  interest 
using a term listed in Annex II on a label of a wine not originating in the Community, 
where  such  use  has  occurred  in  the  United  States  before  13  December  2005,  or  the 
date  of  signature  of  this  Agreement,  whichever  is  later;  provided  that  the  term  may 
only be used on labels for wine bearing the brand name, or the brand name and the 
fanciful  name,  if  any,  for  which  the  applicable  COLA  was  issued  prior  to  the  later 
date referred to in this paragraph and the term is presented on the label in accordance 
with the regulations in effect on 14 September 2005. 

The United States shall notify the Community in writing of the date that the change in 
legal status referred to in paragraph 1 has come into effect. 

The  United  States  shall  take  measures  to  ensure  that  any  wine  not  labelled  in 
conformity with this Article is not placed on or is withdrawn from the market until it 
is labelled in conformity with this Article. 

Article 7 
NAMES OF ORIGIN 

The United States shall provide that certain names may be used as names of origin for 
wine  only  to  designate  wines  of  the  origin  indicated  by  such  a  name,  and  shall 
include, among such names, those listed in Annex IV, Part A, names of quality wines 
produced in specified regions and names of table wines with geographical indications, 
and Part B, names of Member States. 

The  Community  shall  provide  that  the  names  of  viticultural  significance  listed  in 
Annex V  may  be  used  as  names  of  origin  for  wine  only  to  designate  wines  of  the 
origin indicated by such name.

particular place or region in the Community, distinguishable from all other wines, in 
accordance with Title 27 US Code of Federal Regulations, Section 4.24(c)(1) and (3) 
and Section 12.31, as amended. 

Article 8 
WINE LABELLING 

Each Party shall provide that labels of wine sold in its territory shall not contain false 
or misleading information in particular as to character, composition or origin. 

Each  Party  shall  provide  that,  subject  to  paragraph  1,  wine  may  be  labelled  with 
optional  particulars  or  additional  information  in  accordance  with  the  Protocol  on 
Wine Labelling (hereinafter “the Protocol”). 

Neither  Party  shall  require  that  processes,  treatments  or  techniques  used  in  wine 
making be identified on the label. 

The United States shall permit the names listed in Annex II to be used as a class or 
type designation on wines originating in the Community. 

Article 9 
WINE CERTIFICATION AND OTHER MARKETING CONDITIONS 

The  Community  shall  permit  wine  originating  in  the  United  States  to  be  imported

consistent  with  published  criteria  and  subject  to  review.  The  format  and  required 
information for the COLA application form are referenced in Annex III(b). 

The United States shall permit the information on the application form referenced in 
paragraph 3,  excluding  the  applicant’s  signature,  to  be  pre-printed  and  transmitted 
electronically. 

Each  Party  may  modify  its  respective  form,  referred  to  in  paragraphs  1  and  3,  in 
accordance with its internal procedures, in which case the Party concerned shall give

due  notice  to  the  other  Party.  The  Parties  shall  amend  Annex III,  as  necessary,  in 
accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 11.

to  produce  wine  in  the  Community  constitute  proper  cellar  treatment  within  the 
meaning of Section 2002 of US Public Law 108-429.

2. 

Nothing in this Agreement prevents a Party from taking measures, as appropriate, to 
allow the use of homonymous names of origin where consumers will not be misled or 
to allow a person to use, in the course of trade, that person’s name or the name of that 
person’s predecessor in business in a manner that does not mislead the consumer. 

This Agreement is without prejudice to the rights of free speech in the United States 
under the First Amendment of the US Constitution and in the Community. 

Articles 6 and 7 shall not be construed in and of themselves as defining intellectual 
property  or as  obligating the  Parties  to confer or recognise any intellectual property 
rights.  Consequently,  the  names  listed  in  Annex IV  are  not  necessarily  considered, 
nor excluded from being considered, geographical indications under US law, and the 
names  listed  in  Annex V  are  not  necessarily  considered,  nor  excluded  from  being 
considered,  geographical  indications  under  Community  law.  Furthermore,  the  terms 
listed in Annex II are neither considered, nor excluded from being considered in the 
future, geographical indications of the Community under US law. 

Article 13 
IMPLEMENTATION 

The Parties shall take all necessary measures to give effect to this Agreement.  

In the territory of the Community, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, 
importation  and  marketing  shall  be  conducted  in  accordance  with  the  laws  and 
regulations applying in the territory of the Community.

Either Party may withdraw from this Agreement at any time by providing written notification 
to  the  other  Party.  Withdrawal  shall  take  effect  one  year  after  the  date  of  receipt  of  the 
notification by the other Party, unless the notification specifies a later date or the notification 
is rescinded prior to the specified date.

In view of the entry into force of the Agreement between the European Community and the 
United  States  of  America  on  Trade  in  Wine  (the  “Agreement”),  the  Community  and  the 
United States hereby jointly declare as follows, for so long as the Agreement remains in force.  

On wine labelling dialogue 

The  Parties  intend  to  engage  in  a  constructive  dialogue  on  wine  labelling,  with  a  view  to 
contributing to the attainment of an agreement as provided in Article 10(1) of the Agreement. 
Discussions shall cover any item that either Party wishes to raise, including: 

– 

– 

– 

the proportion of grapes that should derive from a place, variety or vintage year 
in  order  that  references  to  such  terms  may  be  used  on  labels,  with  a  view  to 
agreeing to a harmonised level; 

references  to  category,  class  or  type  of  wine,  with  a  view  to  recognising 
common terms; 

the specifications, including tolerances and numerical intervals, for references 
to alcohol percentage, with a view to agreeing on common specifications. 

On use of terms in point 1 of Appendix I of the Protocol 

When  any  problem  arises  regarding  the  use  of  a  term  listed  in  point  1  of  Appendix  I  on 
US wine labels, the Parties intend to consult each other. 

On future wine policy 

The  Parties  intend  to  enter  into  a  dialogue  to  better  understand  each  other’s  wine  policy, 
including  any  future  policy  developments.  The  dialogue  may  concern  elements  being 
discussed  in  the  Doha  Development  Agenda  (DDA),  such  as  export  subsidies,  tariffs, 
domestic support and other issues under negotiation. The results of this dialogue may lead to 
common positions of the Parties in the DDA and could provide a useful insight into any future 
negotiations under Article 10 of the Agreement. 

On future dialogues 

The  Parties  intend  to  enter  into  a  dialogue  on  geographical  indications  in  connection  with 
wine,  with  a  view  to  better  understanding  each  other’s  policy.  In  order  to  provide  useful 
insights into any future negotiations under Article 10 of the Agreement, the Parties intend to 
enter  into  a  dialogue  on  the  matter  of  names  of  origin  and  the  terms  in  Annex  II  of  the 
Agreement,  with  a  view  to  better  understanding  each  other's  policy  and  increasing 
recognition,  as  appropriate,  of  these  names  and  terms  in  the  Community  and  in  the  United 
States. 

In addition, the Parties also intend to enter into dialogues on the following matters: 

– 

terms referred to in Article 24 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 753/2002, 
as  amended,  with  a  view  to  coming  to  a  better  understanding  of  each  other’s 

EN 

80 

   EN 

 
positions on the use of these terms. The Parties are of the view that these terms 
do not constitute or create a new form of intellectual property, 

– 

– 

– 

– 

wine not covered by the agreement, 

wine-making practices, 

certification, and 

creation of a joint committee on wine issues. 

In relation to bilateral trade 

The Parties hereby declare their intention to strive, in good faith and for a reasonable period 
of time, to resolve any bilateral issues concerning trade in wine, including any issues arising 
from  the  operation  of  Commission  Regulation  (EC)  No  753/2002,  as  amended,  through 
informal bilateral consultations, rather than through formal dispute settlement mechanisms. 

On international cooperation 

The  Parties  intend  to  conduct  an  exchange  of  views  on  issues  related  to  and  raised  in 
plurilateral  and  multilateral  organisations  involved  with  wine  matters  affecting  international 
trade and on how international cooperation on wine matters might best be structured. 

DECLARATION BY THE UNITED STATES 

on the use of certain terms with respect to wines exported from the United States 

In view of the entry into force of the Agreement between the United States of America and 
the European Community on Trade in Wine, the United States hereby declares as follows. 

The  members  of  the  wine  producers  organisations  on  1 July  2005,  listed  below  have  each 
agreed, in respect of the use of the terms listed in Annex II of the Agreement that, for so long 
as  the  Agreement  remains  in  force,  wine  exported  from  the  United  States  shall  be  labelled 
consistent with rules applicable within the territory of the United States unless such labelling 
is inconsistent with the requirements of the importing Party.
