REGULATION (EEC) No 2247/73 OF THE COMMISSION  of 16 August 1973  on the control of quality wines produces in specified regions
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 816/70 (1) of 28 April 1970, laying down additional provisions for the common organization of the market in wine, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2680/72 (2), and in particular Article 29 (3) thereof;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 817/70 (3) of 28 April 1970 laying down special provisions relating to quality wines produced in specified regions, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2236/73 (4), and in particular 13 (2) and 16 thereof;
Whereas, with a view to making the control of quality wines psr as effective as possible, provision should be made for such control to be entrusted to one or more specified agencies in each Member State and for close cooperation between the agencies of the various Member States and between those agencies and the Commission ; whereas such agencies should be given certain powers in relation to private persons such as will enable them to carry out their duties;
Whereas, in order to reconcile the requirements in respect of the control of quality wines psr with the requirement that such wines should be able to circulate freely throughout the Community, it would seem desirable to provide that a wine should be accepted, subject to proof of the contrary, as being a quality wine psr and as having the right to a particular name, on the basis of the accompanying document, or, in the absence of such a document, of the relevant commercial documents;
Whereas, in view of the obligations imposed on the Member States and on private persons by Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 817/70 and by this Regulation, it is desirable that the of quality wines psr be as widely known as possible ; whereas it should therefore be provided that the Commisson have these names, as communicated to it by the Member States, published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, the fact of such publication being, however, in no way to prejudge the question whether the provisions governing such names are in conformity with the relevant Community provisions;
Whereas the provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Wine;
