COMMISSION DECISION
of 10 October 2011
amending Decision 2007/602/EC on the setting up of the stakeholder dialogue group in the areas of public health and consumer protection
2011/C 299/07
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 169 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 169 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (‘TFEU’) assigns the Union the task of ensuring a high level of consumer protection, as well as promoting the rights of consumers to information and to organise themselves in order to safeguard their interests.
(2) Commission Decision 2007/602/EC (1) established a ‘stakeholder dialogue group’ in the areas of public health and consumer protection with effect from 10 October 2007 in order to advise the Commission on best practice in the consultation process and help it to better tailor its stakeholder involvement processes to stakeholders’ needs in the abovementioned areas.
(3) According to Article 3(4) of this Decision, members shall be appointed for a four-year non-renewable term of office. However, with regards to the first appointment of members only, half of the members shall be appointed for a two-year non-renewable term of office. The Commission established a shorter mandate for half of the members in order to limit disruptions related to the entire replacement of the group's members.
(4) The Commission appointed the members of the stakeholder dialogue group by Commission Decision 2007/793/EC (2) and specified their respective term of office by Commission Decision 2009/783/EC (3). As a consequence, the mandate of ten members was fixed at four years starting from 29 November 2007 until 29 November 2011 and ten new members were appointed for a full four-year term of office ending November 2013.
(5) The stakeholder dialogue group has advanced considerably in work on the development of a Code of good practice in consultations for Health and Consumers DG. Renewing the group's composition at this point in time would be disruptive to this process and its continuity.
(6) Based on experience, the current composition of the stakeholder dialogue group has achieved a balance of stakeholders from both industry and non-governmental organisations, concerned by the policy areas covered by the Directorate-General for Health and Consumers, and has ensured a broad range of relevant expertise and geographical distribution within the Union as well as gender balance.
(7) It is therefore appropriate to maintain the current composition of the stakeholder dialogue group until November 2013, when it will have completed its mandate,
Decision 2007/602/EC is hereby amended as follows:
(1) Article 3(4) is replaced by the following:
(2) Article 3(5) is replaced by the following:
(3) Article 3(7) is replaced by the following:
The Annex to this Decision, listing the members of the stakeholder dialogue group, shall be inserted as an Annex to Decision 2007/602/EC.
This Decision shall take effect on 2 November 2011.

Whereas Article 3 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2721/88 of 31 August 1988 laying down detailed rules for voluntary distillation as provided for in Articles 38, 41 and 42 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No  2181/91 (4), provides for a mechanism enabling the total quantity of table wine which may be sent for distillation to be kept within a given limit;
Whereas information forwarded to the Commission by the Member States shows that, on expiry of the time limit laid down for the submission of delivery contracts and declarations to intervention agencies, the quantity of table wine covered by contracts  and declarations exceeds that laid down in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 344/94 of 15 February 1994 opening, for the 1993/94 wine year, distillation of table wine as provided for in Article 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 (5), which was  considered sufficient to withdraw from the market approximately 4,549 million hectolitres and 1,945 million hectolitres respectively in production regions 4 and 6 as referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 344/94; whereas, under these  circumstances, the provision enabling distillation to be limited to the quantity provided;
Whereas Article 6 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2721/88 provides that producers may not deliver less than 10 hectolitres of wine; whereas provision should consequently be made, in cases where the reduction applicable would lead to the delivery of a  quantity of less than that minimum, for the quantity which may be delivered to be 10 hectolitres;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
For each producer, the total quantity of table wine which may be delivered for distillation as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 344/94 shall be equal to a percentage of the quantities in the contracts or declarations concluded by the said  producer and submitted for approval.
That percentage shall be as follows for each of the regions referred to in Article 4 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 441/88 (6):
- Region 3: 100 %,
- Region 4: 28,3 %,
- Region 5: 100 %,
- Region 6: 17,1 %.
However, if the quantity resulting from the application of that percentage is less than 10 hectolitres, the quantity which may be delivered shall be 10 hectolitres.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
