13.4.2012 Official Journal of the European Union L 10321 COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 314/2012 of 12 April 2012 amending Commission Regulations (EC) No 555/2008 and (EC) No 436/2009 as regards the documents accompanying consignments of wine products and wine sector registers to be kept THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agri- cultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agri- cultural products (Single CMO Regulation) ('), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 121(k) and (m), Article 185a, Article 185¢(3), and Article 192(2) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof, Whereas: 1 Commission Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 of 27 June 2008 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 on the common organisation of the market in wine as regards support programmes, trade with third countries, production potential and on controls in the wine sector (%) lays down under Title V and notably in Article 82 that where a Member State designates several competent bodies to check compliance with the rules governing the wine sector it shall coordinate the work of those bodies. This provision does not fully meet the coor- dination needs among the various control bodies within the framework of the movements of wine products subject to excise duty due to the use in the wine sector of documents established in accordance with Council Directive 2008/118/EC of 16 December 2008 concerning the general arrangements for excise duty (}). In particular, the measures that the Member States shall take should be specified with respect to giving the bodies which are competent to check compliance with the rules governing the wine sector access to the information on the movements of products subject to excise duty carried out under Directive 2008/118/EC and Commission Regulation (EC) No 684/2009 of 24 July 2009 implementing Council Directive 2008/118/EC as regards the computerised procedures for the movement of excise goods under suspension of excise duty (*). In particular, it is appropriate that account be taken of the Excise Movement and Control System set up under Decision No 1152/2003/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 June 2003 on computerising the movement and surveillance of excisable products (%). Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 should therefore be amended by allowing for gradual implementation of 299, 16.11.2007, p. 1. 170, 30.6.2008, p. 1. 197, 29.7.2009, p. 24. 162, 1.7.2003, p. 5.

() O] L () oL new provisions, in view of the time required by the Member States’ administrations to implement measures concerning the coordination of controls and access to information. Commission Regulation (EC) No 436/2009 of 26 May 2009 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 as regards the vineyard register, compulsory declarations and the gathering of information to monitor the wine market, the documents accompanying consignments of wine products and the wine sector registers to be kept (°) establishes under Title Il and in particular Articles 21 to 31 the nature of the accompanying documents admissible for the consignment of wine products, the rules governing the use of these documents at national and Union level and for export and the conditions with regard to authentication of certificates of origin for wines with protected designation of origin (PDO) or protected geographic indication (PGI). These provisions are, by now, partially obsolete or do not take into account all the amendments made to Union legislation on these issues since the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 436/2009. This is notably the case for the use since 1 January 2011 of the electronic administrative document referred to in Article 21(1) of Directive 2008/118/EC, established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 684/2009, for the amendment of procedures relating to the control of the exit of products from the territory of the Union following the widespread use of electronic procedures by the Union’s customs authorities and lastly for the amendment of rules governing PDO, PGI and indications on the vintage year or the wine- grape varieties as a result of the reforms in the wine sector since 1 January 2009. It is therefore necessary to amend the Articles concerned and to delete certain obsolete definitions. The amendments made in this context should enable the use of accompanying documents recognised under Regu- lation (EC) No 436/2009 for wine products to certify the PDO or PGI and the vintage year or wine-grape variety, including where these documents are drawn up by the consignor. In this respect, the conditions in which the accompanying documents shall be deemed authentic should be laid down. The formalities relating to the exit of products from the customs territory of the Union have been modified since the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 436/2009. They are carried out according to new conditions laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation () OJ L 128, 27.5.2009, p. 15.
