EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

The new EC/Australia wine Agreement will, once approved, replace the 1994 Agreement.  

As soon as the 1994 Agreement entered into force, further bilateral discussions were held on 
the basis of a built-in requirement as regards the phasing out by Australia of certain EC wine 
names.  It  was  on  the  basis  of  the  Council  conclusions  of  October  2000  concerning  bilateral 
wine Agreements that these discussions were replaced by negotiations for a new Agreement. 

These negotiations have been concluded and a new draft wine Agreement between the EC and 
Australia was initialled by both Parties on 5 June 2007. 

This conclusion of negotiations results in a balanced outcome with clear improvements to the 
1994 Agreement to the benefit of each Party. 

It foresees for an "ex officio" protection for each other's geographical indications and it will 
provide for the phasing out by Australia of the use of a number of important EU names such as 
Champagne and Port during the year following the entering into force of the new Agreement. 

The Agreement will safeguard the EC wine labelling regime by inter alia listing the optional 
particulars  which  may  be  used  by  Australian  wines,  by  regulating  the  indication  of  vine 
varieties  on  wine  labels  and  by  eliminating  for  wines  originating  in  Australia  the  use  of 
'Hermitage'  and  'Lambrusco'  within  one  year  following  the  entering  into  force  of  the  new 
Agreement. 

The Agreement provides for protection in Australia of EC traditional expressions. While the 
Australian  use  of  some  of  these  expressions  will  be  phased  out  during  a  period  of  one  year 
following  the  entering  into  force  of  the  Agreement,  a  limited  number  of  some  other 
expressions  will  be  authorised  to  be  used  by  Australia  under  clear  conditions  as  far  as 
production methods are concerned. 

The  Agreement  provides  for  an  improvement  of  the  oenological  practices'  regime,  including 
clear time frames, and objection and arbitration procedures, as well as clearer criteria for the 
evaluation of new practices, including sanitary and phyto-sanitary requirements. 

Australia  will  benefit  from  simplified  certification  procedures  as  provided  for  under  EC 
legislation. 

Following  a  process  of  verification  of  registered  trademarks  in  one  Party  with  geographical 
indications  protected  by  the  other  Party  after  1994,  a  limited  number  of  trademarks  in  each 
Party may continue to be used as long as consumers are not misled as to the true origin of the 
wine  concerned.  This  process  of  verification  of  registered  trademarks  and  geographical 
indications  has  been  agreed  on  by  means  of  exchange  of  letters  attached  to  the  new 
Agreement. 

Each  Party,  however,  will  have  to  carry  out  a  further  verification  process  of  registered 
trademarks as new geographical indications have been introduced by each Party between the 
previous verification and the initialling.  Annexes of geographical indications to be protected 
under  the  new  Agreement  will  therefore  have  to  be  updated  with  these  new  geographical 
indications  in  function  of  the  outcome  of  above  mentioned  verifications.  New  geographical 
indications  introduced  by  the  EC  contain  inter  alia  those  listed  by  Romania  and  Bulgaria 
which, subject to the outcome of the above mentioned  verification process, will be added to 
Annex II of the agreement before signature. The parties have identified certain issues on which 
further  negotiations  will  be  required.  These  issues  are  outlined  in  two  Consolidated 
Negotiators' Side Letters, which do not form part of the Agreement.

and with Article 300(4) thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

The  Agreement  between  the  European  Community  and  Australia  on  trade  in  wine1, 
approved by Council Decision 94/184/EC2, required further negotiations on transitional 
periods for the names referred to in Articles 8 and 11 of that Agreement. 

On  23  October  2000  the  Council  authorised  the  Commission  to  negotiate  a  new 
Agreement on trade in wine between the Community and Australia. 

Those  negotiations  have  been  concluded  and  the  new  Agreement  between  the 
European  Community  and  Australia  on  trade  in  wine  (hereinafter  referred  to  as  "the 
Agreement") was initialled by both Parties on 5 June 2007. 

(4) 

The Agreement should therefore be approved. 

(5) 

(6) 

In order to facilitate the implementation and possible amendment of the Annexes to the 
Agreement  the  Commission  should  be  authorised  to  adopt  the  necessary  measures  in 
accordance with the procedure referred to in Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 
17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine3. 

As  from  the  date  of  entry  into  force  of  the  Agreement,  the  Agreement  between  the 
European  Community  and  Australia  on  trade  in  wine,  its  Protocol  and  the  related 
exchange  of  letters,  done  at  Brussels  and  Canberra  (26-31  January  1994),  shall  be 
terminated,

accordance with: 

(a) 

(b) 

one  or  more  of  the  oenological  practices  or  processes  listed  in  paragraph 1  of 
Annex I, Part A; and 

the  compositional  requirements  as  provided  for  in  point I.1  of  the  Protocol  to 
the Agreement. 

Australia shall authorise the importation into and marketing in its territory for direct 
human  consumption  of  all  wines  originating  in  the  Community  and  produced  in 
accordance  with  one  or  more  of  the  oenological  practices  or  processes  listed  in 
paragraph 1 of Annex I, Part B.  

The Contracting Parties recognise that the oenological practices and processes listed 
in  Annex I  and  compositional  requirements  provided  for  in  the  Protocol  meet  the 
objectives and requirements set out in Article 7. 

Article 6 
New oenological practices, processes, compositional requirements or modifications 

If  one  Contracting  Party  proposes  to  authorise  a  new,  or  modify  an  existing, 
oenological  practice,  process  or  a  compositional  requirement  for  commercial  use  in 
its  territory  which  is  not  authorised  by  the  other  Contracting  Party  by  virtue  of 
Article 5 and which requires modifications of Annex I pursuant to Article 11, it shall 
notify  the  other  Contracting  Party  in  writing  as  soon  as  possible  and  provide  a 
reasonable  opportunity  for  comment  prior  to  the  final  authorisation  of  that  new  or 
modified oenological practice, process or compositional requirement.  

The Contracting Party shall also provide upon request a technical dossier supporting 
the  proposed  authorisation  of  the  new  or  modified  oenological  practice,  process  or 
compositional requirement, with regard to the objectives and requirements set out in 
Article 7, to facilitate the consideration by the other Contracting Party. 

The consideration of a proposed new or modified oenological practice or process or 
compositional  requirement  as  referred  to  in  paragraph  1  shall  be  undertaken  by  the 
other Contracting Party taking account of the objectives and requirements set out in 
Article 7.

technical dossier as specified under that paragraph. 

This  Article does not apply if a Contracting  Party adapts an oenological practice or 
process referred to in Annex I, Part C solely in order to take into account particular 
climate conditions of a marketing year, provided that the adaptation is minor and does 
not  substantially  change  the  oenological  practice  or  process  or  compositional 
requirement  concerned  (‘technical  adaptation’).  The  Contracting  Party  proposing  to 
make  the  technical  adaptation  shall  notify  the  other  Contracting  Party  as  soon  as

the protection of human health; 

(b) 

the protection of the consumer against deceptive practices;

I. 

II. 

III. 

IV. 

V. 

is not prohibited in the laws and regulations of the originating country; 

protects  the  authenticity  of  the  product  by  safeguarding  the  concept  that  the 
typical features of the wine arise in the grapes harvested; 

takes  into  account  the  region  of  cultivation,  and  in  particular,  climatic, 
geological and other production conditions; 

is based on a reasonable technological or practical need to, among other things, 
enhance the keeping qualities, stability or consumer acceptance of the wine;

Article 9 
Objection procedure 

Within  6  months  after  a  Contracting  Party  receives  notification  from  the  other 
Contracting Party under Article 6(4), the first Contracting Party may object in writing 
to  the  notified  new  or  modified  oenological  practice,  process  or  compositional 
requirement on the ground that it does not meet the objective set out in Article 7(1)(b) 
and/or  (c).  If  an  objection  is  made  by  a  Contracting  Party,  either  Contracting  Party 
may seek consultations provided for in Article 37. Should the matter not be resolved 
within 12 months after the Contracting Party receives notification under Article 6(4), 
either Contracting Party may invoke arbitration under Article 10. 

Within  two  months  after  receiving  the  notification  referred  to  in  paragraph  1,  the 
Contracting  Party  may  seek  information  or  an  opinion  from  the  Organisation 
Internationale de la Vigne et du Vin (OIV) or another relevant international body. If 
such information or opinion is sought, and without prejudice to the other time limits 
provided for in paragraph 1, the Contracting Parties may mutually agree to extend the 
6 month period for an objection to be made by the Contracting Party. 

The  arbitrators  referred  to  in  Article  10  shall  make  the  determination  as  to  whether 
the  notified  new  or  modified  oenological  practice  or  process  or  compositional 
requirement fulfils the objective set out in Article 7(1)(b) and/or(c). 

In  relation  to  a  request  by  a  Contracting  Party  for  authorisation  of  an  oenological 
practice, process or compositional requirement that has been authorised by the other 
Contracting Party for commercial use by a third country, the time limits provided for 
in paragraph 1 shall be reduced by half. 

Article 10 
Oenological practices arbitration 

A  Contracting  Party  may  invoke  arbitration  pursuant  to  Article  9  by  notifying  the 
other Contracting Party in writing of the submission of the issue to arbitration. 

Within 30 days after the receipt of the notification referred to in paragraph 1, each of 
the Contracting Parties shall appoint an arbitrator applying the criteria of paragraph 6 
and notify the other Contracting Party of the selection.  

Within  30 days  of  the  date  of  the  appointment  of  the  second  arbitrator,  the  two 
arbitrators  appointed  in  accordance  with  paragraph 2  shall  by  mutual  agreement 
appoint  a  third  arbitrator.  If  the  first  two  arbitrators  are  unable  to  agree  on  a  third 
arbitrator, the Contracting Parties shall jointly agree on the appointment of the third 
arbitrator within 30 days. 

If  the  Contracting  Parties  are  unable  to  select  jointly  a  third  arbitrator  within  the 
30-day  period  referred  to  in  paragraph  3,  the  necessary  appointment  shall  be  made 
within a further 60 days, at the request of either Contracting Party, by the President or 
a Member of the International Court of Justice (considered in the order of seniority), 
applying the criteria of paragraph 5, in accordance with the practice of the Court.

qualifications. 

The  arbitrators  (other  than  the  presiding  member)  shall  be  experts  of  international 
standing in the field of oenology whose impartiality is beyond doubt. 

Within 30 days of the selection of the third arbitrator, the three arbitrators shall jointly 
determine  the  rules  of  working  procedure  that  shall  apply  to  the  arbitration,  taking 
into  account  the  Permanent  Court  of  Arbitration  Optional  Rules  for  Arbitrating 
Disputes  Between  Two  States,  except  that  the  rules  of  working  procedure  may  be 
waived or modified by mutual agreement of the Contracting Parties at any time. 

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 their determination as provided for by Article 9(3). 

The costs of the arbitration, including the costs of remuneration of the arbitrators, will 
be  borne  equally  by  the  Contracting  Parties.  The  fees  and  expenses  payable  to  the 
arbitrators shall be subject to the schedule established by the Joint Committee.

The  Contracting  Parties  shall  modify  Annex  I  or  the  Protocol  in  accordance  with 
Article 29(3)(a)  or  30(3)(a)  to  take  account  of  the  new  or  modified  oenological 
practice,  process  or  compositional  requirement  notified  pursuant  to  Article 6(4)  as 
soon as practicable, but no later than 15 months after 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  9,  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  new  or  modified  oenological 
practice,  process  or  compositional  requirement  fulfils  the  objectives  set  out  in 
Article 7(1)(b)  and/or  (c),  the  Contracting  Parties  shall  modify  Annex I  or  the 
Protocol  in  accordance  with  Article 29(3)(a)  or  30(3)(a)  to  add  the  new  or 
modified  oenological  practice,  process  or  compositional  requirement,  within 
90 days of the date of such determination; 

if  however,  the  arbitrators  determine  that  the  notified  new  or  modified 
oenological  practice,  process  or  compositional  requirement  does  not  fulfil  the 
objectives set out in Article 7(1)(b) and/or (c), the provisional authorisation for 
the  import  and  marketing  of  wines  originating  in  the  notifying  Contracting 
Party  produced  in  accordance  with  the  oenological  practice,  process  or 
compositional  requirement  in  question,  as  referred  to  in  Article  8,  shall  cease 
90 days after the date of such determination.

the  indications  used  are  accompanied  by  expressions  such  as  “kind”,  “type”, 
“style”, “imitation”, “method” or the like. 

The protection provided for in paragraphs 2 and 3 is without prejudice to Articles 15 
and 22. 

The  registration  of  a  trade  mark  for  wines  which  contains  or  consists  of  a 
geographical indication identifying a wine as listed in Annex II shall be refused, or if 
domestic  legislation  so  permits  and  at  the  request  of  an  interested  party  shall  be 
invalidated,  with  respect  to  such  wines  not  originating  in  the  place  indicated  by  the 
geographical indication. 

If  geographical  indications  listed  in  Annex II  are  homonymous,  protection  shall  be 
granted  to  each  indication  provided  that  it  has  been  used  in  good  faith.  The 
Contracting Parties shall mutually decide the practical conditions of use under which 
the  homonymous  geographical  indications  will  be  differentiated  from  each  other, 
taking into account the need to ensure equitable treatment of the producers concerned 
and that consumers are not misled. 

If  a  geographical  indication  listed  in  Annex II  is  homonymous  with  a  geographical 
indication for a third country, Article 23(3) of the TRIPs Agreement applies. 

The provisions of this Agreement shall in no way prejudice the right of any person to 
use,  in  the  course  of  trade,  that  person’s  name  or  the  name  of  that  person’s 
predecessor  in  business,  except  where  such  name  is  used  in  such  a  manner  as  to 
mislead consumers. 

Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige a Contracting Party to protect a geographical 
indication of the other Contracting Party listed in Annex II which is not or ceases to 
be protected in its country of origin or which has fallen into disuse in that country. 

10. 

The  Contracting  Parties  affirm  that  rights  and  obligations  under  this  Agreement  do 
not arise for any geographical indications other than those listed in Annex II. Without 
prejudice to the Agreement’s provisions on the protection of geographical indications,

the Contracting Parties. 

Article 14 
Names or reference to Member States and Australia 

1. 

In  Australia,  references  to  the  Member  States  of  the  Community,  and  other  names 
used to indicate a Member State, for the purpose of identifying the origin of the wine: 

(a) 

are reserved for wines originating in the Member State concerned; and 

(b)  may  not  be  used  by  the  Community  otherwise  than  under  the  conditions 

provided for by the laws and regulations of the Community.  

2. 

In  the  Community,  references  to  Australia,  and  other  names  used  to  indicate 
Australia, for the purpose of identifying the origin of the wine: 

(a) 

are reserved for wines originating in Australia; and  

(b)  may not be used by Australia otherwise than under the conditions provided for 

by the laws and regulations of Australia. 

Article 15 
Transitional arrangements 

The protection of the names referred to in Article 12(1)(a)(I) and Article 13 shall not prevent 
the use by Australia of the following names to describe and present a wine in Australia, and in 
third  countries  where  the  laws  and  regulations  so  permit,  during  the  following  transitional 
periods: 

(a) 

12  months  after  entry  into  force  of  this  Agreement,  for  the  following  names: 
Burgundy,  Chablis,  Champagne,  Graves,  Manzanilla,  Marsala,  Moselle,  Port, 
Sauterne, Sherry and White Burgundy;  

(b) 

10 years after entry into force of this Agreement, for the name Tokay. 

Article 16 
Traditional expressions 

1. 

Unless  as  otherwise  provided  for  in  this  Agreement,  in  Australia,  the  traditional 
expressions for the Community listed in Annex III: 

(a) 

shall  not  be  used  for  the  description  or  presentation  of  wine  originating  in 
Australia; and 

(b)  may  not  be  used  for  the  description  or  presentation  of  wine  originating  in  the 
Community  otherwise  than  in  relation  to  the  wines  of  the  origin  and  the 
category  and  in  the  language  as  listed  in  Annex  III  and  under  the  conditions 
provided for by the laws and regulations of the Community. 

2. 

Australia shall take the measures necessary, in accordance with this Agreement,  for 
the protection in accordance with this Article of the traditional expressions listed in 
Annex III which are used for the description and presentation of wines originating in 

EN

the territory of the Community. To that end, Australia shall provide appropriate legal 
means  to  ensure  effective  protection  and  prevent  the  traditional  expressions  from 
being used to describe wine not entitled to those traditional expressions, even where 
the  traditional  expressions  used  are  accompanied  by  expressions  such  as  “kind”, 
“type”, “style”, “imitation”, “method” or the like. 

The protection provided for in paragraph 2 is without prejudice to Articles 17 and 23. 

The protection of a traditional expression shall apply only: 

(a) 

to the language or languages in which it appears in Annex III; and 

(b) 

for a category of wine in relation to which it is protected for the Community as 
set out in Annex III. 

Australia  may  allow  the  use  in  its  territory  of  terms  identical  with  or  similar  to  the 
traditional expressions listed in Annex III for wine not originating in the territory of 
the  Contracting  Parties  provided  that  consumers  are  not  misled,  the  origin  of  the 
product  is  stated  and  the  use  does  not  constitute  unfair  competition  as  that  term  is 
understood  in  Article  10bis  of  the  Paris  Convention  for  the  Protection  of  Industrial 
Property of 20 March 1883 as amended. 

This Agreement shall in no way prejudice the right of any person to use, in the course 
of  trade,  that  person’s  name  or  the  name  of  that  person’s  predecessor  in  business, 
except where such name is used in such a manner as to mislead the consumer. 

Without  limiting  paragraph  5,  Australia  shall  not  permit  within  its  territory  the 
registration  or  use  of  a  trade  mark  which  contains  or  consists  of  a  traditional 
expression listed in Annex III to describe and present a wine, unless this Agreement 
permits  the  use  of  the  traditional  expression  in  relation  to  the  wine  concerned. 
However, this requirement: 

(a) 

(b) 

does  not  apply  in  relation  to  trade  marks  legally  registered  in  good  faith  in 
Australia, or that have legitimately acquired rights in Australia by being used in 
good faith, before the date of signature of this Agreement;  

in  the  case  of  traditional  expressions  included  in  Annex  III  after  the  date  of 
signature of this Agreement, does not apply in relation to trademarks registered 
in good faith in Australia, or that have legitimately acquired rights in Australia 
by  being  used  in  good  faith,  before  the  relevant  traditional  expression  is 
protected under this Agreement; and  

(c) 

does not prevent the use of trademarks referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) in 
third countries where the laws and regulations of the third country so permit. 

This  provision  does  not  prejudice  the  right  of  the  Community  to  use  the  relevant 
traditional expression in conformity with paragraph (1)(b).  

8. 

Without  limiting  paragraphs  5,  6  and  7  and  Article 23,  Australia  shall  not  permit 
within  its  territory  the  use  of  a  business  name  which  contains  or  consists  of  a 
traditional expression listed in Annex III of this Agreement to describe and present a 
wine. However, this requirement: 

EN

(a) 

(b) 

does not apply in relation to business names legally registered in good faith in 
Australia before the date of signature of this Agreement; 

in  the  case  of  traditional  expressions  included  in  Annex  III  after  the  date  of 
signature,  does  not  apply  in  relation  to  business  names  legally  registered  in 
good  faith  in  Australia  before  the  relevant  traditional  expression  is  protected 
under this Agreement; and 

(c) 

does  not  prevent  the  use  of  such  business  names  in  third  countries  where  the 
laws and regulations of the third country so permit. 

Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) do not permit the business name to be used in a manner so 
as to mislead the consumer. 

9. 

Nothing  in  this  Agreement  shall  oblige  Australia  to  protect  a  traditional  expression 
listed in Annex III which is not or ceases to be protected in its country of origin or 
which has fallen into disuse in the Community. 

Article 17 
Transitional arrangements 

The protection of the names referred to in Article 12(1)(a)(III) and Article 16 shall not prevent 
the use by Australia of the following names to describe and present a wine in Australia, and in 
third  countries  where  the  laws  and  regulations  so  permit,  during  the  transitional  period  of 
12 months  after  entry  into  force  of  this  Agreement:  Amontillado,  Auslese,  Claret,  Fino, 
Oloroso, Spatlese. 

Article 18 
Wine Categories and sales descriptions 

1. 

Unless as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, in Australia the wine categories 
listed in Annex IV, Part A and sales descriptions listed in Annex IV, Part B: 

(a) 

are reserved to the wines originating in the Community; and 

(b)  may  not  be  used  by  the  Community  otherwise  than  under  the  conditions 

provided for by the laws and regulations of the Community. 

2. 

Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige Australia to reserve a wine category or sales 
description listed in Annex IV which is not or ceases to be reserved in its country of 
origin or which has fallen into disuse in the Community.

4. 

The Contracting Parties agree that where particulars are compulsory for inclusion on 
a  wine  label  in  the  laws  and  regulations  of  the  importing  Contracting  Party,  other 
particulars may be presented in the same field of vision as the compulsory particulars 
or elsewhere on the wine container. 

Notwithstanding paragraph 1, if a quality wine term listed in Annex V is used as part 
of the primary sales designation on a wine label it must be used in the same field of 
vision  as  a  geographical  indication  for  Australia  listed  in  Annex II,  Part B,  in 
characters  of  substantially  the  same  size.  For  this  paragraph,  ‘primary  sales 
designation’ means the designation of the product that appears on the part of the wine 
container or package intended to be presented to the consumer under normal display 
conditions. 

The Contracting Parties agree that the particulars referred to in paragraph 1, including 
a  quality  wine  term  listed  in  Annex  V,  may  be  repeated  anywhere  on  the  wine 
container,  whether  or  not  they  appear  in  the  same  field  of  vision  as  a  geographical 
indication listed in Annex II. 

The  Community  agrees  that  a  wine  originating  in  Australia  may  be  described  or 
presented in the Community with particulars of the number of standard drinks in the 
wine,  provided  that  use  of  the  particulars  conforms  to  the  rules  applicable  to  wine 
producers in Australia, and in particular the Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation 
Act 1980, Trade Practices Act 1974, and the Australia New Zealand Food Standards 
Code. 

Article 22 
Vine varieties 

1. 

Each Contracting Party agrees to allow in its territory the use by the other Contracting 
Party  of  the  names  of  one  or  more  vine  varieties,  or,  where  applicable,  their 

EN 

17 

   EN 

 
synonyms,  to  describe  and  present  a  wine,  so  long  as  the  following  conditions  are 
complied with: 

(a) 

the vine varieties or their synonyms appear in the variety classification drawn 
up by the Organisation International de la Vigne et du Vin (OIV), Union for the 
Protection  of  Plan  Varieties  (UPOV)  or  International  Board  for  Plant  Genetic 
Resources (IGPBR); 

(b)  where the wine is not composed entirely of the named vine variety (ies), or their 
synonyms, at least 85% of the wine shall be obtained from the named variety (-
ies), after deduction of the quantity of the products used for possible sweetening 
and  cultures  of  microorganisms  (which  quantity  shall  be  no  more  than  5%  of 
the wine); 

(c) 

each labelled vine variety (-ies) or their synonyms must be in greater proportion 
in the composition of the wine than any unlabelled variety (-ies); 

(d)  where  two  or  more  vine  varieties  or  their  synonyms  are  named,  they  shall  be 
indicated in descending order of the proportion used in the composition of the 
wine and in characters of any size; 

(e) 

(f) 

vine  variety  (-ies)  or  their  synonyms  shall  be  shown  either  in  the  same  visual 
field or outside, depending on the internal legislation of the exporting country; 

the  name  of  the  variety  (-ies)  or  their  synonyms  shall  not  be  used  in  such  a 
manner as to mislead consumers as to the origin of the wine. For this purpose, 
the  Contracting  Parties  may  determine  the  practical  conditions  under  which  a 
name may be used. 

2. 

Notwithstanding  paragraph  1  and  Article  12(1)(a)(I)  and  Article  12(1)(b)(I),  the 
Contracting Parties agree that: 

(a) 

(b) 

if a vine variety or its synonym contains or consists of a geographical indication 
listed  in  Annex II,  Part A  for  the  Community,  Australia  may  use  the  vine 
variety or synonym for the description or presentation of a wine originating in 
the territory of Australia if the vine variety or synonym is listed in Annex VII; 
and 

if  a  vine  variety  or  synonym  contains  or  consists  of  a  geographical  indication 
listed  in  Annex II,  Part B  for  Australia,  the  Community  may  use  the  vine 
variety or synonym for the description or presentation of a wine originating in 
the territory of the Community if the vine variety or synonym was used in good 
faith before the date of entry into force of this Agreement.  

Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 12 and this Article, the Contracting Parties 
agree that during a transitional period ending 12 months after entry into force of this 
Agreement the name “Hermitage” may be used for wines originating in Australia as a 
synonym for the vine variety “Shiraz” for sale in countries outside the territory of the 
Community  insofar  as  the  laws  and  regulations  in  Australia  and  other  countries 
permit, provided that this name is not used in such a manner as to mislead consumers. 

Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  this  Article,  the  Contracting  Parties  agree  that 
during  the  transitional  period  ending  12  months  after  entry  into  force  of  this 
Agreement the vine variety name “Lambrusco” may be used for wines originating in

Australia  as  a  description  of  a  style  of  wine  traditionally  made  and  marketed  under 
that name for sale in countries outside the territory of the Community insofar as the 
laws and regulations in Australia and other countries permit, provided that the name 
is not used in such a manner as to mislead consumers. 

Article 23 
Quality wine terms 

Australia may use the terms listed in Annex V to describe and present a wine originating in 
Australia,  in  accordance  with  the  conditions  of  use  set  out  in  that  Annex  and  in  conformity 
with Article 20. 

Article 24 
Wines originating in Australia with a geographical indication 

Without prejudice to more restrictive Australian legislation, the Contracting Parties agree that 
Australia may use a geographical indication listed in Annex II, Part B to describe and present a 
wine originating in Australia under the following conditions: 

(a) 

where  a  single  geographical  indication  is  used,  at  least  85%  of  the  wine  shall  be 
obtained from grapes harvested in this geographical unit; 

(b) 

where up to three geographical indications are used for the same wine: 

I. 

at  least  95%  of  the  wine  shall  be  obtained  from  grapes  harvested  in  these 
geographical units provided there is a minimum of 5% of wine from any of the 
named geographical indications; and 

II. 

the geographical indications shown on the label shall be named in descending 
order of proportion. 

Article 25 
Enforcement of the labelling requirements 

1. 

2. 

If the description or presentation of a wine, particularly on the label, in the official or 
commercial  documents,  or  in  advertising,  is  in  breach  of  this  Agreement,  the 
Contracting  Parties  shall  apply  the  necessary  administrative  measures  or  legal 
proceedings in accordance with their respective laws and regulations. 

The measures and proceedings laid down in paragraph 1 shall be taken in particular in 
the following cases: 

(a)  where the translation of descriptions provided for by Community or Australian 
legislation into the language or languages of the other Contracting Party results 
in  the  appearance  of  a  word  which  is  misleading  as  to  the  origin,  nature  or 
quality of the wine thus described or presented; 

(b)  where descriptions, trade marks, names, inscriptions or illustrations directly or 
indirectly  give  false  or  misleading  information  as  to  the  provenance,  origin, 
nature,  vine  variety  or  material  qualities  of  the  wine,  appear  on  containers, 
packaging,  in  advertising,  or  in  official  or  commercial  documents  relating  to 
wines whose names are protected under this Agreement; 

EN 

19 

   EN 

 
(c)  where packaging is used which is misleading as to the origin of the wine. 

Article 26 
Standstill 

The  Contracting  Parties  shall  not,  under  their  domestic  legislation,  impose  conditions  less 
favourable than those provided for in this Agreement or in their domestic legislation in force 
as  at  the  date  of  signature  of  this  Agreement,  in  particular  the  legislation  referred  to  in 
Annex IX, in relation to the description, presentation, packaging or composition of wines from 
the other Contracting Party. 

TITLE IV 
CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS 

Article 27

provided  for  in  the  second  subparagraph  of  Article  24(2)  and  Article  26  of 
Commission  Regulation  (EC)  No  883/2001  laying  down  the  detailed  rules  for 
implementing  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  1493/1999  as  regards  trade  with  third 
countries  in  the  wine  sector.  For  this  purpose,  and  in  accordance  with  the  said 
provisions, Australia shall: 

(a)

may  be  applied  to  wines  imported  from  other  countries  applying  equivalent 
supervision and control measures. 

Subject to Article 28, Australia shall not submit the import of wine originating in the 
Community  to  a  more  restrictive  or  far-reaching  system  of  certification  than  that

applied to wines imported from other countries applying equivalent supervision and 
control measures. 

Article 28 
Temporary certification 

The  Contracting  Parties  reserve  the  right  to  introduce  temporary  additional 
certification  requirements  in  response  to  legitimate  public  policy  concerns,  such  as 
health or consumer protection or in order to act against fraud. In this case the other 
Contracting Party shall be given adequate information in sufficient time to permit the 
fulfilment of the additional requirements. 

The  Contracting  Parties  agree  that  such  requirements  shall  not  extend  beyond  the 
period  of  time  necessary  to  respond  to  the  particular  public  policy  concern  in 
response to which they were introduced. 

TITLE V

1. 

2. 

3. 

The  provisions  of  this  Agreement  shall  be  without  prejudice  to  the  right  of  the 
Contracting  Parties  to  take  sanitary  and  phytosanitary  measures  necessary  for  the 
protection of human, animal or plant life or health, provided that such measures are 
not inconsistent with the provisions of the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary 
and Phytosanitary Measures contained in Annex 1A of the WTO Agreement. 

Each Party shall endeavour to inform the other Party under the procedures set out in 
Article 29 at the earliest reasonable opportunity of developments which could lead, in 
relation  to  wine  marketed  in  its  territory, to  the  adoption  of  measures  necessary  for 
the  protection  of  human,  animal  or  plant  life  or  health,  especially  those  concerning 
the setting of specific limits on contaminants and residues with a view to agreeing a 
common approach. 

Without  prejudice  to  paragraph  2,  in  a  case  where  one  Contracting  Party  takes  or

Article 37 
Consultations 

If a Contracting Party considers that the other Contracting Party has failed to fulfil an 
obligation  under  this  Agreement,  and  it  has  not  been  possible  to  resolve  the  issue 
pursuant  to  Article  29(1),  it  may  request  in  writing  consultations  with  the  other 
Contracting Party. Within 30 days after receipt of the request, the Contracting Parties 
shall consult each other with a view to resolving the issue.  

The  Contracting  Party  requesting  the  consultations  shall  provide  the  other 
Contracting Party with all the information necessary for a detailed examination of the 
issue in question. 

In cases where any delay could endanger human health or impair the effectiveness of 
measures to control fraud, appropriate interim protective measures may be taken by a 
Contracting  Party  provided  that  such  consultations  are  held  immediately  after  the 
taking of these measures. 

If  the  issue  has  not  been  resolved  within  60 days  after  receipt  of  the  request  for 
consultations, the Contracting Parties may, by mutual agreement: 

(a) 

extend the consultation period; or

refer the issue to a relevant body for its consideration. 

Article 38 
Arbitration 

If  it  is  not  possible  to  resolve  an  issue  in  accordance  with  Article 37  (other  than  an 
objection under Article 9), the Contracting Parties may, by mutual agreement, submit 
the  issue  to  arbitration  in  which  case  they  will  each  notify  the  other  of  the 
appointment  of  an  arbitrator  within  60 days  applying  the  criteria  set  out  in 
paragraph 4. 

Within  30 days  of  the  date  of  the  appointment  of  the  second  arbitrator,  the  two 
arbitrators  appointed  in  accordance  with  paragraph  1  shall  by  mutual  agreement 
appoint  a  third  arbitrator.  If  the  first  two  arbitrators  are  unable  to  agree  on  a  third 
arbitrator, the Contracting Parties shall jointly agree on the appointment of the third 
arbitrator within 30 days. 

If  the  Contracting  Parties  are  unable  to  select  jointly  a  third  arbitrator  within  the 
30-day  period  referred  to  in  paragraph 2,  the  necessary  appointment  shall  be  made 
within a further 60 days, at the request of either Contracting Party, by the President or 
a Member of the International Court of Justice (considered in the order of seniority), 
applying the criteria of paragraph 4 of this Article, in accordance with the practice of 
the Court. 

The  third  arbitrator  appointed  shall  preside  over  the  arbitration  and  shall  have  legal 
qualifications.  The  arbitrators  (other  than  the  presiding  member)  shall  be  suitably 
qualified in the field being considered by the arbitration panel.

Australian fortified wine 

Australian fortified wine 

‘Cream’  describes  a  style  of  Australian 
fortified  sweet  wine  of  not  less  then 
5 beaume. The wine will be pale yellow to 
light  amber  in  colour,  rich  and  sweet  to 
taste  and  typically  with  a  vinous  to  fruity

including  being  aged  in  oak  barrels  for  at 
least three years. 

Crusted  /  Crusting  describes  a  fortified 
wine in which deposits may develop in the 
bottle. 

Ruby  describes  a  style  of  Australian 
fortified  wine  that  receives  only  a  few 
years of ageing prior to bottling. At bottling 
the  wine  retains  a  deep  ruby  colour  and 
tends to be robust in character, full bodied 
and  fruity.  The  wine  can  be  blended  from 
more  than  one  vintage,  with  a  view  to 
sustaining  the  primary  characteristics  of 
colour  and  aroma.  Fortification  must  be 
from grape spirit. 
In  addition,  for  the  export  market,  the 
ageing  of  the  wine  will  include,  as  a 
minimum,  ageing  in  oak  barrels  for  four

barrel  containing  the  youngest  mix  of 
wines  refreshed  with  new  wine.  The 
process  gives  a  blended  product,  ranging 
from  pale  straw  to  a  dark  amber  colour 
depending  on  the  style  being  produced. 
This process is reserved for the production 
of fortified wines. 

Tawny  describes  a  style  of  Australian 
fortified wine that receives varying years of 
ageing  prior  to  bottling.  At  bottling  the 
wine  has  a  red-gold  or  ‘tawny’  hue.  The 
wines  should  reflect  the  characteristics  of 
careful  aging  showing  ‘developed’  rather 
than  ‘fresh’  fruit  characters.  However, 
many show the fresh well developed ‘fruit’ 
characteristics  of  younger  wine.  The  wine 
is  usually  blended  from  more  than  one 
vintage, may be  matured in oak containers 
and  reaches  an  optimal  age  before  sale. 
Fortification must be from grape spirit. 

and 

Vintage  describes  a  style  of  Australian 
fortified  wine  that  is  produced  from  a 
single  vintage  year.  These  high  quality 
wines  are  characterised  by  relatively  long 
periods  of  bottle  maturation.  They  are 
generally  deep  in  colour,  full  bodied  and 
smooth.  They  are  entitled  to  bear  the 
designation 
the 
‘vintage’ 
corresponding  year.  These  wines  are 
characterised by the ability to improve with 
age  in  bottle  and  benefit  from  prolonged 
cellaring.  Such  wines  are  aged  for  a 
to 
minimum  of 
release.  Fortification  must  be 
from 
Australian grape spirit. 
In  addition,  for  the  export  market,  the 
ageing  of  the  wine  will  include,  as  a 
minimum,  ageing  in  oak  barrels  for  four 
months.

In  consideration  of  the  different  forms  of  regulation  of  oenological  practices,  processes  and 
compositional  requirements  for  wine  internationally,  the  Contracting  Parties  will  examine 
ways of moving towards a less restrictive and more flexible method of agreeing to the use of 
new  oenological  practices,  processes  and  compositional  requirements  for  wine  than  the 
procedures set out in Title I of the Agreement.  

The Contracting Parties will pursue discussions on this issue in the first meeting of the Joint 
Committee after the date of this Joint Declaration.

Consolidated European Community Declaration 

Australia’s use of compulsory particulars 

The European Community recalls that Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 
as  amended,  requires,  among  other  things,  the  presentation  of  compulsory  particulars  to  be 
grouped  in  the  same  visual  field  on  the  container.  For  wine  originating  in  Australia,  the 
European Community acknowledges that presentation of the compulsory particulars in a single 
field  of  vision  would  meet  this  requirement,  as  long  as  the  particulars  were  simultaneously 
readable without having to turn the bottle and were clearly distinguishable from surrounding 
text or graphics. The European Community confirms that the compulsory particulars may be 
separated  by  text  or  graphics  and  may  be  presented  on  one  or  more  labels  within  the  single 
field of vision. 

The European Community also acknowledges that Australia may, but is not required to, also 
present the compulsory particulars referring to the importer and the lot number in that single 
field of vision. 

Australia’s use of certain particulars 

that  Community  regulations  as  provided  for 

The  European  Community  recalls 
in 
Articles 34(1) and (2)  of Commission Regulation  (EC)  No 753/2002,  as  amended,  require  or 
permit the use of particulars as to the address of certain persons involved in the marketing of 
the wine to be included on a wine label. In addition, the European Community acknowledges 
that common English words such as ‘doctor’, ‘mountain’ and ‘sun’ etc could be used for the 
description and presentation of Australian wines. 

Australia’s use of free terms 

The European Community recalls that Community wine legislation, in particular, Annexes VII 
and  VIII  of  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No 1493/1999  and  Commission  Regulation  (EC) 
No 753/2002  as  amended,  regulates  the  conditions  of  use  of  compulsory  and  optional 
particulars  on  the  Community  market.  The  Community  legislation  allows  the  use  of  other 
terms  than  those  expressly  covered  by  the  Community  legislation,  provided  that  they  are 
accurate,  there  is  no  risk  of  confusion  with  the  terms  covered  by  the  Community  legislation 
and the operators can prove their accuracy where there is any doubt.  

Consistent  with  this  legislation,  the  European  Community  acknowledges  that  Australia  may 
use terms other than those regulated by the Agreement to describe and present its wine as long 
as the use of the terms conforms with the rules applicable to wine producers in Australia.

Consolidated Exchange of Letters 

Letter No 1 

Dear Sir, 

I  have  the  honour  to  refer  to  the  negotiations  recently  undertaken  between  our  respective 
delegations  for  the  purpose  of  reaching  agreement  between  the  European  Community  and 
Australia on trade in wine (‘the Agreement’).  

Concerning  the  relationship  between  the  Agreement  and  Article  24(1)  of  the  TRIPs 
Agreement 

The Contracting Parties understand that the negotiation and operation of the Agreement fulfils 
in respect of wine each Contracting Party’s respective obligation to the other Contracting Party 
in respect of Article 24(1) of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property 
Rights (‘the TRIPs Agreement’). 

On the status of certain protected names 

The  Contracting  Parties  acknowledge  that  the  provisions  of  the  Agreement  relating  to 
traditional expressions, categories of wine, sales descriptions and quality wine terms do not in 
and of themselves constitute nor create intellectual property rights.  

Concerning the protection of Geographical Indications 

The  Contracting  Parties  confirm  their  common  understanding  that  the  Agreement  is  without 
prejudice  to  each  Contracting  Party’s  rights  and  obligations  pursuant  to  Article 24(3)  of  the 
TRIPs Agreement. 

Australia  confirms  that  it  will  continue  to  ensure  that,  once  a  Community  geographical 
indication  protected  by  Australia  pursuant  to  this  Agreement  is  entered  on  the  Register  of 
Protected  Names,  a  trademark  containing  or  consisting  of  that  geographical  indication 
identifying  a  wine  as  listed  in  Annex  II  cannot  be  used  or  entered  on  the  Register  of 
Trademarks in relation to wine unless that wine satisfies the requirements pertaining to use of 
the Community geographical indication. 

Australia  confirms  that,  subject  to  Article  19  of  the  Agreement,  a  geographical  indication 
listed in Article 15 of the Agreement may be used in Australia to describe and present a wine 
originating in the Community during the transitional period set out in that Article if the wine 
satisfies the requirements pertaining to use of the geographical indication. 

Concerning  the  relationship  between  certain  Geographical  Indications  and  Registered 
Trademarks 

1. 
As  far  as  geographical  indications  protected  in  their  respective  territories  after 
26 January 1994 are concerned, and insofar as consumers are not misled as to the origin of the 
wine, the Contracting Parties agree to the following: 

1.1.  The  trademarks  "Ilya",  "Lienert  of  Mecklenburg",  "Lindauer",  “Salena  Estate”,  and 
“The Bissy” registered in Australia can continue to be used in Australia. 

1.2.  Notwithstanding Articles 13(2) and (5) of the Agreement and the second paragraph of 
the  Exchange  of  Letters  'Concerning  the  protection  of  Geographical  Indications',  attached  to

the Agreement, the trademarks "Stonehaven Limestone Coast", "John Peel", "William Peel", 
"Old  Peel",  "South  Coast"  and  "Domaine  de  Fleurieu"  registered  in  the  Community  and/or 
one or more of its Member States can continue to be used in the Community and / or in the 
territory of the Member State concerned.  

1.3.  Nothing in the Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the trademark right holders from 
using these trademarks elsewhere where laws and regulations so permit. 

2.1.  The  Contracting  Parties  note  that  trademarks  that  do  not  contain  or  consist  of  a 
geographical indication as listed in the respective annexes to the Agreement are not affected 
by the provisions of Articles 13(2) and (5) of the Agreement and can therefore continue to be 
used as far as the Agreement is concerned.  

2.2.  The Contracting Parties agree on discussing this issue, if needed, in the framework of 
the EC/Australia Joint Committee, established by Article 30 of the Agreement. 

Duration 

The Contracting Parties agree that the present exchange of letters shall remain in force as long 
as the Agreement remains in force. 

I  have  the  honour  to  propose  that  this  letter  and  your  letter  in  reply  confirming  that  the 
Government  of  Australia  shares  this  understanding  shall  together  constitute  an  Agreement 
between the European Community and the Government of Australia.  

Your sincerely,
