Proposal for a 

COUNCIL DECISION 

on the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Community and Australia  
on trade in wine 

(presented by the Commission)

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 draft Agreement, since its approval by the Commission on 20 November 2007, and its 
first  presentation  to  the  Council  (133  Committee)  on  22  February  2008,  was  subject  to  the 
following modifications: 

- minor technical adjustments in the text and Annex I of the draft Agreement; 

-  inclusion  of  new  geographical  indications  in  Annex  II  of  the  Agreement.  These  new 
geographical indications were introduced by the EC and Australia between the conclusion of 
the negotiations and the date of the initialling of the draft Agreement text on 5 June 2007. The 
new  geographical  indications  presented  by  the  EC  are  mainly  those  introduced  by  Bulgaria 
and Romania.  

-  update  of  the  Exchange  of  Letters  concerning  the  Relationship  between  certain 
Geographical  Indications  and  Registered  Trademarks  by  a  few  additional  trademarks 
registered in Australia, as a result of a second process of verification of trademarks registered 
in  one  Party  with  new  geographical  indications  introduced  by  the  other  Party  between  the 
conclusion  of  the  negotiations  and  the  initialling  of  the  draft  Agreement.  The  trademarks 
listed in this Exchange of Letters may continue to be used as long as consumers are not misled 
as to the true origin of the wine concerned. It is furthermore noted in this Exchange of Letters 
that one EC geographical Indication is subject to a further verification process in Australia in 
relation to corresponding trademarks registered in Australia. Once this process is completed, 
and  subject  to  settling  any  issues  that  might  arise  from  this  process,  the  Contracting  Parties 
will  use  best  endeavours  to  update  the  list  of  Geographical  Indications  in  Annex  II 
expeditiously, through the procedures of the EC/Australia Joint Committee. 

These  modifications  have  been  embodied  in  the  attached  revised  version  of  the  new  draft 
EC/Australia Agreement on trade in wine. 

Linguistic  adjustments  have  been  made  in  the  different  translated  versions  of  the  draft 
Agreement  as  a  result  of  a  verification  process  carried  out  by  Council  and  Australian 
translators.

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

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

be made by the Contracting Party. 

3.

paragraph 1 shall be reduced by half. 

Article 10 
Oenological practices arbitration

notify the other Contracting Party of the selection.  

3. 
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. 

4. 
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. 

The  third  arbitrator  appointed  shall  preside  over  the  arbitration  and  shall  have  legal 

5.

7. 
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. 

8. 
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). 

9. 
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. 

10. 

The arbitrators shall make a determination which shall be final and binding. 

Article 11 
Modification of Annex I

1. 
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. 

2. 
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) 
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; 

(b) 
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 territory of 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.

Article 13 
Geographical indications 

1. 

Unless as otherwise provided for in this Agreement: 

in  Australia,  the  geographical  indications  for  the  Community  which  are  listed  in 

(a) 
Annex II, Part A: 

I. 

are protected for wines originating in the Community; and 

may not be used by the Community otherwise than under the conditions provided for

The  Contracting  Parties  shall  take  the  measures  necessary,  in  accordance  with  this 
2. 
Agreement,  for  the  reciprocal  protection  of  the  geographical  indications  listed  in  Annex II, 
which are used for the description and presentation of wines originating in the territory of the 

EN 

11 

   EN 

 
Contracting  Parties.  Each  Contracting  Party  shall  provide  the  legal  means  for  interested 
parties to prevent the use of a geographical indication listed in Annex II to identify wines not

3. 

The protection provided for in paragraph 2 applies, even when: 

(a) 

the true origin of the wine is indicated; 

(b) 

the geographical indication is used in translation; or 

the  indications  used  are  accompanied  by  expressions  such  as  "kind",  "type",  "style",

wines not originating in the place indicated by the geographical indication. 

6. 
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 

7. 
indication for a third country, Article 23(3) of the TRIPs Agreement applies. 

8. 
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. 

9. 
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. 

The Contracting Parties affirm that rights and obligations under this Agreement do not 
10. 
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  TRIPs 
Agreement  applies  to  the  protection  of  geographical  indications  in  each  of  the  Contracting 
Parties.

expressions for the Community listed in Annex III: 

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

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. 

Australia  shall  take  the  measures  necessary,  in  accordance  with  this  Agreement,  for 
2. 
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 the territory of the

of  the  Paris  Convention  for  the  Protection  of  Industrial  Property  of  20 March  1883  as 
amended. 

6. 
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. 

7. 
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: 

does not apply in relation to trade marks legally registered in good faith in Australia, 
(a) 
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  

does  not  prevent  the  use  of  trademarks  referred  to  in  paragraphs  (a)  and  (b)  in  third 

(c) 
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). 

Without  limiting  paragraphs  5,  6  and  7  and  Article 23,  Australia  shall  not  permit 
8. 
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: 

does  not  apply  in  relation  to  business  names  legally  registered  in  good  faith  in 

(a) 
Australia before the date of signature of this Agreement; 

in the case of traditional expressions included in Annex III after the date of signature, 
(b) 
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 

does not prevent the use of such business names in third countries where the laws and 

(c) 
regulations of the third country so permit.

2. 
Contracting Parties agree that:

description or presentation of a wine originating in the territory of Australia if the vine variety 
or synonym is listed in Annex VII; and

Article 25

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 

2. 
the following cases: 

where  the  translation  of  descriptions  provided  for  by  Community  or  Australian 
(a) 
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

fortified  wine  that  receives  varying 
years  of  ageing  prior  to  bottling.  At

Joint Declaration 

on future discussions on oenological practices 

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.

3. 
respective regulatory requirements in relation to the indication of ingredients in wine. 

Joint Declaration 

on a dialogue on issues related to international trade in wine 

As the largest global exporters of wine, Australia and the European Union have a shared interest in 
increasing  access  to  and  expanding  international  wine  markets,  and  are  committed  to  exploring 
ways in which to work together to identify possible areas for common action.  

The Contracting Parties will build an enhanced dialogue with each other on issues that could help 
facilitate  and  expand  the  global  trade  in  wine.  This  dialogue  could  include  discussions  on  the 
current Doha round of WTO trade negotiations and negotiations in other international fora affecting 
the global trade in wine.

of the Agreement includes expressions such as "méthode champenoise". 

Joint Declaration

The Contracting Parties note the following: 

–

Article 9 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1622/2000; 

wines  bearing  the  label  "Retsina"  and  produced  in  Greece  in  conformity  with  the  above

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 

The  European  Community  recalls  that  Community  regulations  as  provided  for  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 

As  far  as  geographical 

1. 
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: 

indications  protected 

their  respective 

in 

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

EN 

158 

   EN 

 
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. 

3.1.  The Contracting Parties also note that the Community Geographical Indication “Vittorio” is 
subject  to  a  verification  process  in  Australia  in  relation  to  the  trademarks  “Vittoria”  and  “Santa 
Vittoria”. Once this process is completed, and subject to settling any issues that might arise from 
this  process,  the  Contracting  Parties  will  use  best  endeavours  to  update  the  list  of  Geographical 
Indications in Annex II expeditiously, through the EC/Australia Joint Committee. 

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,
