Article 167 Marketing rules to improve and stabilise the operation of the common market in wines

United Kingdom

F1Nothing in this Regulation prevents the Secretary of State, with the agreement of the relevant authorities for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, from laying down marketing rules to regulate supply, particularly by way of decisions taken by interbranch organisations recognised under Articles 157 and 158. F2Any such rules must be made with a view to improving and stabilising the operation of the market in wines, including the grapes, musts and wines from which they derive.

Such rules shall be proportionate to the objective pursued and shall not:

(a)

relate to any transaction after the first marketing of the produce concerned;

(b)

allow for price fixing, including where prices are set for guidance or recommendation;

(c)

render unavailable an excessive proportion of the vintage that would otherwise be available;

(d)

provide scope for refusing to issue the F3... certificates required for the circulation and marketing of wines where such marketing is in accordance with those rules.

F42.
