4.   If the Contracting Parties are unable to select jointly a third arbitrator within the 30-day period referred to in paragraph 3, the necessary appointment shall be made within a further 60 days, at the request of either Contracting Party, by the President or a Member of the International Court of Justice (considered in the order of seniority), applying the criteria of paragraph 5, in accordance with the practice of the Court.

Term

Conditions of use

Wine type

Solera

Solera describes a system of using casks/barrels containing wines of varying ages. The wines from the barrel containing the oldest mix of vintages is taken from the solera. All of the wines in the barrels of the solera then cascade in order of age and the barrel containing the youngest mix of wines refreshed with new wine. The process gives a blended product, ranging from pale straw to a dark amber colour depending on the style being produced. This process is reserved for the production of fortified wines.

Australian fortified wine

Tawny

Tawny describes a style of Australian fortified wine that receives varying years of ageing prior to bottling. At bottling the wine has a red-gold or ‘tawny’ hue. The wines should reflect the characteristics of careful aging showing ‘developed’ rather than ‘fresh’ fruit characters. However, many show the fresh well developed ‘fruit’ characteristics of younger wine. The wine is usually blended from more than one vintage, may be matured in oak containers and reaches an optimal age before sale. Fortification must be from grape spirit.

Australian fortified wine

Vintage

Vintage describes a style of Australian fortified wine that is produced from a single vintage year. These high quality wines are characterised by relatively long periods of bottle maturation. They are generally deep in colour, full bodied and smooth. They are entitled to bear the designation ‘vintage’ and the corresponding year. These wines are characterised by the ability to improve with age in bottle and benefit from prolonged cellaring. Such wines are aged for a minimum of twenty months prior to release. Fortification must be from Australian grape spirit.

In addition, for the export market, the ageing of the wine will include, as a minimum, ageing in oak barrels for four months.

CONSOLIDATED EUROPEAN COMMUNITY DECLARATION

Australia's use of compulsory particulars

The European Community recalls that Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 as amended, requires, among other things, the presentation of compulsory particulars to be grouped in the same visual field on the container. For wine originating in Australia, the European Community acknowledges that presentation of the compulsory particulars in a single field of vision would meet this requirement, as long as the particulars were simultaneously readable without having to turn the bottle and were clearly distinguishable from surrounding text or graphics. The European Community confirms that the compulsory particulars may be separated by text or graphics and may be presented on one or more labels within the single field of vision.
The European Community also acknowledges that Australia may, but is not required to, also present the compulsory particulars referring to the importer and the lot number in that single field of vision.

Australia's use of certain particulars

The European Community recalls that Community regulations as provided for in Articles 34(1) and (2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 753/2002, as amended, require or permit the use of particulars as to the address of certain persons involved in the marketing of the wine to be included on a wine label. In addition, the European Community acknowledges that common English words such as ‘doctor’, ‘mountain’ and ‘sun’ etc. could be used for the description and presentation of Australian wines.

Australia's use of free terms

The European Community recalls that Community wine legislation, in particular, Annexes VII and VIII of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 as amended, regulates the conditions of use of compulsory and optional particulars on the Community market. The Community legislation allows the use of other terms than those expressly covered by the Community legislation, provided that they are accurate, there is no risk of confusion with the terms covered by the Community legislation and the operators can prove their accuracy where there is any doubt.
Consistent with this legislation, the European Community acknowledges that Australia may use terms other than those regulated by the Agreement to describe and present its wine as long as the use of the terms conforms with the rules applicable to wine producers in Australia.

CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE OF LETTERS

A.   Letter from the European Community

Brussels, 1 December 2008
Sir,
I have the honour to refer to the negotiations recently undertaken between our respective delegations for the purpose of reaching agreement between the European Community and Australia on trade in wine (the Agreement).
Concerning the relationship between the Agreement and Article 24(1) of the TRIPs Agreement
The Contracting Parties understand that the negotiation and operation of the Agreement fulfils in respect of wine each Contracting Party's respective obligation to the other Contracting Party in respect of Article 24(1) of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (the TRIPs Agreement).
On the status of certain protected names
The Contracting Parties acknowledge that the provisions of the Agreement relating to traditional expressions, categories of wine, sales descriptions and quality wine terms do not in and of themselves constitute nor create intellectual property rights.
Concerning the protection of Geographical Indications
The Contracting Parties confirm their common understanding that the Agreement is without prejudice to each Contracting Party's rights and obligations pursuant to Article 24(3) of the TRIPs Agreement.
Australia confirms that it will continue to ensure that, once a Community geographical indication protected by Australia pursuant to this Agreement is entered on the Register of Protected Names, a trademark containing or consisting of that geographical indication identifying a wine as listed in Annex II cannot be used or entered on the Register of Trademarks in relation to wine unless that wine satisfies the requirements pertaining to use of the Community geographical indication.
Australia confirms that, subject to Article 19 of the Agreement, a geographical indication listed in Article 15 of the Agreement may be used in Australia to describe and present a wine originating in the Community during the transitional period set out in that Article if the wine satisfies the requirements pertaining to use of the geographical indication.
Concerning the relationship between certain Geographical Indications and Registered Trademarks
1.   
As far as geographical indications protected in their respective territories after 26 January 1994 are concerned, and insofar as consumers are not misled as to the origin of the wine, the Contracting Parties agree to the following:
1.1.   
The trademarks ‘Ilya’, ‘Lienert of Mecklenburg’, ‘Lindauer’, ‘Salena Estate’, ‘The Bissy’, ‘Karloff’ and ‘Montana’ registered in Australia can continue to be used in Australia.
1.2.   
Notwithstanding Article 13(2) and (5) of the Agreement and the second paragraph of the Exchange of Letters ‘Concerning the protection of Geographical Indications’, attached to the Agreement, the trademarks ‘Stonehaven Limestone Coast’, ‘John Peel’, ‘William Peel’, ‘Old Peel’, ‘South Coast’ and ‘Domaine de Fleurieu’ registered in the Community and/or one or more of its Member States can continue to be used in the Community and/or in the territory of the Member State concerned.
1.3.   
Nothing in the Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the trademark right holders from using these trademarks elsewhere where laws and regulations so permit.
2.1.   
The Contracting Parties note that trademarks that do not contain or consist of a geographical indication as listed in the respective annexes to the Agreement are not affected by the provisions of Article 13(2) and (5) of the Agreement and can therefore continue to be used as far as the Agreement is concerned.
2.2.   
The Contracting Parties agree on discussing this issue, if needed, in the framework of the EC/Australia Joint Committee, established by Article 30 of the Agreement.
3.1.   
The Contracting Parties also note that the Community Geographical Indication ‘Vittorio’ is subject to a verification process in Australia in relation to the trademarks ‘Vittoria’ and ‘Santa Vittoria’. Once this process is completed, and subject to settling any issues that might arise from this process, the Contracting Parties will use best endeavours to update the list of Geographical Indications in Annex II expeditiously, through the EC/Australia Joint Committee.
Duration
The Contracting Parties agree that the present Exchange of Letters shall remain in force as long as the Agreement remains in force.
I have the honour to propose that this letter and your letter in reply confirming that the Government of Australia shares this understanding shall together constitute an Agreement between the European Community and the Government of Australia.
Yours sincerely,
For the European Community
