DUTIES AND TAXES ON ALCOHOL REQUIRE A NUMBER OF PARTICULARS TO APPEAR ON BOTTLES WHEN SOLD . THESE GENERALLY INCLUDE THE NAME OF THE PRODUCT , THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE MANUFACTURER OR IMPORTER , AND THE ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH ( CERTAIN MEMBER STATES FURTHER REQUIRE THE WORDS " SPIRITUOUS LIQUOR " TO APPEAR , AND A STATEMENT AS TO THE CONTENT , INGREDIENTS AND ADDED PRODUCTS ) .
( C ) IN CERTAIN MEMBER STATES THE LAW REQUIRES BEVERAGES SUCH AS BITTER CAMPARI TO HAVE AN ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH OF NOT LESS THAN A SPECIFIED MINIMUM ( 17 * IN FRANCE , 20 * IN DENMARK AND 30 * IN GERMANY ) .
AS THE ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH REQUIRED BY GERMAN REGULATIONS IS GREATER THAN THAT OF BITTER CAMPARI IN THE OTHER MEMBER STATES , THERE IS IN EFFECT A BAN ON IMPORTS TO GERMANY , UNLESS OF COURSE A CONSIGNMENT HAS BEEN SPECIALLY MANUFACTURED FOR THE GERMAN MARKET .
HOWEVER , IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT FOLLOWING COMPLAINTS FORM IMPORTERS THE COMMISSION ADDRESSED A REASONED OPINION TO THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY UNDER ARTICLE 169 OF THE EEC TREATY , AND GERMANY THEN CANCELLED THE PROVISIONS APPLYING TO CERTAIN IMPORTED ALCOHOLIC PRODUCTS WITH AN ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH OF LESS THAN 30 * ; THE PRODUCTS DID NOT INCLUDE BITTER .
( D ) OTHER NATIONAL LEGAL PROVISIONS GOVERN ADVERTISING OF ALCOHOLIC DRINKS , RESTRICT THE NUMBER OF LICENSED PREMISES , PRIHIBIT THE SALE OF APERITIFS AND BITTERS EXCEEDING A SPECIFIED ALCOHOLIC STRENGTH ( E . G . IN BELGIUM ) OR SPECIFY THE ACTUAL CONTENT OF BOTTLES ( IN FRANCE , FOR INSTANCE , THE AUTHORIZED UNITS ARE 35 CL , 50 CL , 70 CL AND 1 LITRE , THE 75 CL BOTTLES USED BY THE BELGIAN AND DUTCH LICENSEES NOT BEING ALLOWED THERE ) .
5 . ACCORDING TO THE EXPLANATIONS PROVIDED BY CAMPARI-MILANO , THE OBLIGATION ON LICENSEES TO INFORM CAMPARI-MILANO OF TRADEMARK INFRIGEMENTS COMING TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE DOES NOT APPLY TO IMPORTS INTO EACH ALLOTTED TERRITORY OF THE ORIGINAL ITALIAN PRODUCT OR OF PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED UNDER LICENCE IN ANOTHER MEMBER STATE .
6 . IN THE ALLOTTED TERRITORIES , BITTER CAMPARI IS IN COMPETITION WITH A NUMBER OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS , INCLUDING PUNT E MES CARPANO , BITTER CINZANO , BITTER GAMBAROTTA , BITTER NEGRONI , BITTER MORONI , BITTER SAN PELLEGRINO , BITTER ROSSI , AMER PICON , SUZE , AMER KHURI , CYNAR AND AMER CLAQUESIN .
IT HAS NOT BEEN POSSIBLE TO ESTABLISH BITTER CAMPARI'S EXACT MARKET SHARE . WHAT IS CLEAR , HOWEVER , IS THAT THE BRAND HAS ACQUIRED AN INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION AND THAT THE TURNOVER ATTAINED BY CAMPARI-MILANO AND ITS LICENSEES IS A SUBSTANTIAL ONE .
7 . FOLLOWING PUBLICATION OF SUMMARIES OF THE NOTIFICATIONS , NO OBSERVATIONS FROM THIRD PARTIES HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BY THE COMMISSION .
II . APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE 85 ( 1 ) OF THE EEC TREATY
