(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which apply throughout the United Kingdom and come into force on 20th November 1987, provide for the enforcement of EEC regulations (as specified in Schedules 1 and 2) concerned with the production and marketing of wine and related products.
The Regulations, which revoke and re-enact with amendments the provisions of the Common Agricultural Policy (Wine) Regulations 1982 and the Common Agricultural Policy (Wine) (Amendment) Regulations 1983-
(a)designate competent authorities for the purposes of enforcement (regulation 3);
(b)exempt certain products from provisions relating to information required on labels (regulation 4);
(c)provide for an exemption permitting the planting for certain purposes of vine varieties whose planting would otherwise be prohibited (regulation 5);
(d)prescribe offences and penalties (regulation 6).
The Regulations differ from the Common Agricultural Policy (Wine) Regulations 1982, as amended by the Common Agricultural Policy (Wine) (Amendment) Regulations 1983 in that-
(a)an exemption has been provided for permitting the planting for certain purposes of otherwise prohibited vine varieties (regulation 5);
(b)the penalties for offences have been increased (regulation 6);
(c)offences contrary to Part V of Schedule 2, relating to wine making processes, have been added to the offences contrary to Parts I, II and III of that Schedule which are punishable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £2,000 and on conviction on indictment to a fine (regulation 6(1));
(d)an exception in the case of disclosure in pursuance of a Community obligation has been included in the provision creating the offence of disclosure of information (regulation 6(2)(b));
(e)a provision has been added which deems various officers of a body corporate to be guilty in certain circumstances of an offence committed by that body corporate (regulation 6(4));
(f)the Schedules have been revised and brought up to date so as to include references to relevant Regulations of the European Communities which have been adopted since the Common Agricultural Policy (Wine) (Amendment) Regulations 1983 came into force and to delete references to Regulations which have been repealed or superseded or have become redundant.
In Schedule 1 each Regulation is given the title which appears in the Official Journal, except in cases where the title refers to a Regulation that has been repealed or superseded. In such a case the title given in Schedule 1 refers to the superseding Regulation and the title in the Official Journal is given in a footnote.
