To ensure that analysis procedures in the Community are uniform, the descriptions of those methods must be allowed to stand in Regulation (EEC) No 2676/90.\n(4)\nRegulation (EC) No 1622/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(5)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
