Wine products

Draft Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards applications for protection of designations of origin, geographical indications and traditional terms in the wine sector, the objection procedure, restrictions of use, amendments to product specifications, cancellation of protection, and labelling and presentation (and its accompanying annexes) (46+18 pages, in English)

Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 provides for Union rules on labelling and presentation of products of the wine sector and empowers the Commission to adopt delegated and implementing acts setting out the procedures for the registration of protected designations of origin, protected geographical indications and traditional terms for grapevine products and establishing the conditions for the use of certain compulsory and optional labelling particulars for wine.

The purpose of this delegated act is therefore to supplement Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 as regards the procedures to be followed for the registration of new protected designations of origin, protected geographical indications and traditional terms and those related to their amendment or cancellation. It also establishes detailed conditions for the use of compulsory labelling particulars such, among others, the actual alcoholic strength, provenance, bottler, producer or importer and voluntary labelling particulars such as the indication of the vintage year, wine grape variety or certain production methods. This delegated regulation repeals and replaces Commission Regulation (EC) No 607/2009 of 14 July 2009 laying down certain detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 as regards protected designations of origin and geographical indications, traditional terms, labelling and presentation of certain wine sector (OJ L 193 24.7.2009, p. 60).
