COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 153/92  of 23 January 1992  amending Regulation (EEC) No 3201/90 laying down detailed rules for the description and presentation of wines and grape musts
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic 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 (EEC) No 1734/91 (2), and in particular Article 72 (5) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2392/89 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2356/91 (4), lays down general rules for the description and presentation of wines and grape musts;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3201/90 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3298/91 (6), lays down detailed rules for the description and presentation of wines and grape musts;
Whereas, in view of Chile's request, provision should be made for wines originating in that country and obtained exclusively from two varieties to be able to bear the names of those two varieties when they are marketed in the Community;
Whereas the 'Clavelin' type of bottle has traditionally been used exclusively in France for certain quality wines psr; whereas this type of bottle may recall certain characteristics or a particular origin of the wine in question; whereas it would seem  appropriate to maintain this restriction;
Whereas in Portugal 'Cantil' bottles have traditionally been used on a general basis for rosé wines; whereas for other wines such bottles may also be regarded as traditional; whereas, however, in the light of the reorganization for designations in  Portugal, following its accession to the Community, it is not possible currently to draw up a precise list of such designations; whereas, nevertheless, there are no good reasons to prevent wines traditionally presented in 'Cantil' bottles from  maintaining this form of presentation, particularly in the case of quality wines psr and vinho regional; whereas provision should therefore be made that this type of bottle shall be used only for rosé wines and for quality wines psr and vinho regional  traditionally presented thus prior to their classification;
Whereas South Africa, Argentina, Hungary and Czechoslovakia have requested that Annexes I, II and IV to Regulation (EEC) No 3201/90 be adapted; whereas those requests should be acceded to;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Regulation (EEC) No 3201/90 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 13 (2) (a), 'New Zealand and Australia' is replaced by 'New Zealand, Australia and Chile'.
2. Article 20 is amended as follows:
- subparagraph (c) is added to Article 20 (1):
'(c) "Clavelin" means a short-necked glass bottle, containing 0,62 l, consisting of a cylindrical body topped by broad shoulders giving a squat appearance, the ratio between the overall height and the base diameter being approximately 2,75 and that  between the height of the cylindrical section and the overall height being 1 : 2.'
- paragraph 2 (b) (i) is replaced by:
'(i) as regards wine originating in the Community:
- in Germany, Italy and Greece, to the wines listed in Annex V,
- in Portugal, to rosé wines and to other quality wines psr and vinho regional in respect of which it has been shown that presentation in "Cantil" bottles was a fair and traditional practice before their classification as "quality wines psr and vinho  regional".'
- The following subparagraph is added to Article 20 (2):
'(c) Bottles of the "Clavelin" type shall be used exclusively for the quality wines psr listed in Annex V.'
3. Annexes I, II, IV and V are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
