The International Vine and Wine Office (OIV) adopted the new description of this method at its General Assembly in 2003.\n(2)\nUsing this method will ensure simpler, more precise monitoring of excess pressure in these wines.\n(3)\nThe description of the usual method in Chapter 37 of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2676/90 is no longer necessary and paragraph 3 of Chapter 37 should therefore be deleted. The updated description of this method should, moreover, be introduced in a new chapter of the Annex to that Regulation.\n(4)\nRegulation (EEC) No 2676/90 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:",
