In order to ensure that economic operators and competent authorities are not prejudiced by the expiry of this derogation provided for in Article 31(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 753/2002, a new extension should be granted.\n(2)\nAnnex II to Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 lists vine varieties and their synonyms that include a geographical indication and that may appear on the labelling of wines. That Annex has to be adapted by the appropriate terms that have been used by Romania.\n(3)\nDue to administrative burden, and in order to avoid any trade difficulties, this Regulation should apply from 1 July 2007.\n(4)\nRegulation (EC) No 753/2002 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:",
