COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1754/97 of 10 September 1997 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2347/91 on the collection of samples of wine products for the purposes of cooperation between Member States and for analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance, including analysis for the purposes of the Community databank
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1417/97 (2), and in particular Article 79 (3) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2347/91 of 29 July 1991 on the collection of samples of wine products for the purposes of cooperation between Member States and for analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance, including analysis for the purposes of the Community databank (3), lays down common rules on the collection of samples for analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance of deuterium in an official laboratory of a Member State or the JRC; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2676/90 of 17 September 1990 determining Community methods for the analysis of wines (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 822/97 (5), describes a method for determining the isotopic ratio >NUM>18O
>DEN>16O
of oxygen in water in wine, which can be applied to the same samples; whereas samples collected pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2347/91 will also be analysed by that isotopic method to provide data for the databank set up at the JRC; whereas those rules should accordingly be amended and supplemented so that the isotopic ratio >NUM>18O
>DEN>16O
of water in the wine samples can be determined;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
