COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 519/2007
of 7 May 2007
amending Regulation (EC) No 527/2003 authorising the offer and delivery for direct human consumption of certain wines imported from Argentina which may have undergone oenological processes not provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 45(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By way of derogation from Article 45(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, Regulation (EC) No 527/2003 (2) authorises imports into the Community of wine produced in Argentina which has undergone oenological processes not authorised by Community rules, in particular the addition of malic acid. That authorisation expired on 31 December 2006.
(2) The use of malic acid is an oenological practice approved by the International Organisation of Vine and Wine.
(3) Negotiations are currently underway between the Community and Mercosur, of which Argentina is a member, on an agreement on trade in wine. These negotiations concern, in particular, the respective oenological practices used by both parties and the protection of geographical indications.
(4) Pending the entry into force of an agreement between the Community and Mercosur on trade in wine mutually recognising the oenological practices of each Party and thus facilitating the import into the Community of wines originating in Argentina to which malic acid may have been added, the authorisation of this process for Argentinian wines should be extended until the date of that entry into force, but not later than 31 December 2008.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 527/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly,
In the second subparagraph of Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 527/2003, the date ‘31 December 2006’ is hereby replaced by ‘31 December 2008’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 12 October 2006
amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress, the Annex to Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards exemptions for applications of lead in crystal glass
(notified under document number C(2006) 4789)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/690/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (1), and in particular Article 5(1)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2002/95/EC requires the Commission to evaluate certain hazardous substances prohibited pursuant to Article 4(1) of that Directive.
(2) Crystal glass has been progressively used for decorative purposes on electrical and electronic equipment. Since Council Directive 69/493/EEC of 15 December 1969 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to crystal glass (2) prescribes the amount of lead to be present in crystal glass and the substitution of lead in crystal glass is therefore technically impracticable, the use of this hazardous substance in specific materials and components covered by that Directive is unavoidable. Those materials and components should be therefore exempted from the prohibition.
(3) Some exemptions from the prohibition for certain specific materials or components should be limited in their scope, in order to achieve a gradual phase-out of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, given that the use of those substances in such applications will become avoidable.
(4) Pursuant to Article 5(1)(c) of Directive 2002/95/EC each exemption listed in the Annex must be subject to a review at least every four years or four years after an item is added to the list.
(5) Directive 2002/95/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) Pursuant to Article 5(2) of Directive 2002/95/EC, the Commission has consulted the relevant parties.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 18 of Directive 2006/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3),
In the Annex to Directive 2002/95/EC the following point 29 is added:
‘29. Lead bound in crystal glass as defined in Annex I (Categories 1, 2, 3 and 4) of Council Directive 69/493/EEC (4).
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas the abovementioned laws, regulations and administrative provisions satisfy the conditions and objectives of Directives 72/159/EEC and 75/268/EEC;
Whereas the EAGGF Committee has been consulted on the financial aspects;
