15.5.2008 Official Journal of the European Union L 127/13 COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 423/2008 of 8 May 2008 on laying down certain detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 and establishing a Community code of oenological practices and processes (Codified version) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular Articles 46 and 80 thereof, Whereas: (1)  Commission Regulation (EC) No 1622/2000 of 24 July 2000 on laying down certain detailed rules for imple- menting Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine and establishing a Community code of oenological practices and processes (3) has been substantially amended several times (). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified. (2)  Chapter I of Title V of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 and several of the Annexes thereto lay down general rules on oenological practices and processes and refer for the rest to detailed implementing rules to be adopted by the Commission. (3) In the interests of both economic operators in the Community and the authorities responsible for applying Community rules, all those provisions should be collated in a Community code of oenological practices and processes. (4)  The Community Code should thus be established to include only the detailed implementing rules explicitly referred to by the Council in Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999. For the rest, the rules under Articles 28 et seq. of the Treaty should suffice to ensure free movement () OJ L 179, 14.7.1999, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regu- lation (EC) No 1791/2006 (O] L 363, 20.12.2006, p. 1). (®» OJ L 194, 31.7.2000, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regu- lation (EC) No 1300/2007 (O] L 289, 7.11.2007, p. 8). (®) See Annex XXII of wine-sector products where oenological processes and practices are concerned. It should also be specified that the code is to apply without prejudice to specific provisions in other fields, in particular, rules already existing or to be adopted in the future for foodstuffs. Article 42(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 permits grapes other than those of the wine-grape varieties listed in the classification established in accordance with Article 19 of that Regulation, or products derived therefrom, to be used in the Community for the manu- facture of the products listed in Article 42(5). A list should be drawn up of the varieties to which such dero- gations may apply. Pursuant to Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 14931999 a list should be drawn up of quality liqueur wines produced in specified regions (quality liqueur wines psr) for which special rules of preparation are allowed. To enable products to be more easily identified and to facilitate intra-Community trade, reference should be made to the descriptions of products as established by Community rules or, where appropriate, by national legislation. Limits on the use of certain substances should also be fixed, pursuant to Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, and conditions should be laid down for the use of some of them. Experiments concerning the use of lysozyme in wine- making carried out by two Member States have shown that the addition of this substance is of significant benefit for the stabilisation of wines and permits the production of quality wines with a reduced sulphur dioxide content. Its use should therefore be permitted and maximum doses laid down in line with the technological requirements revealed in the experiments.
