The International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) has adopted resolutions allowing three new oenological practices. In order to take account of technical progress and to provide Union producers with the same possibilities as those available to third-country producers, those new oenological practices should be authorised in the Union under the conditions of use defined by the OIV.\n(2)\nCertain oenological practices are particularly exposed to the risk of fraudulent use and must be recorded in the registers pursuant to Article 41 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 436/2009. For this reason, the three new oenological practices, that is the treatment of wines using a membrane technology coupled with activated carbone, the use of polyvinylimidazole-polyvinylpyrrolidone copolymers and the use of silver chloride, the last two substances being processing aids, should be entered in the registers.\n(3)\nRegulations (EC) No 606/2009 and (EC) No 436/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
