Commission Regulation (EU) No 426/2014
of 25 April 2014
amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the definition, description, presentation, labelling and the protection of geographical indications of spirit drinks
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 January 2008 on the definition, description, presentation, labelling and the protection of geographical indications of spirit drinks(1), and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 provides that the spirit drinks of the category 16 ‘Spirit (preceded by the name of the fruit) obtained by maceration and distillation’ can be obtained from the maceration and distillation of fruits or berries listed therein. In some Member States, this type of spirit drink is traditionally produced also with other fruits, which are not included in that list. Therefore the list of fruits or berries used for the production of spirit drinks under that category should be extended.
(2) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 provides that the spirit drinks of the category 24 ‘Akvavit or aquavit’ are caraway and/or dillseed-flavoured spirit drinks flavoured with a distillate of plants or spices. Those spirit drinks are traditionally produced by using ethyl alcohol of agricultural origin. The current category of spirit drink ‘Akvavit or aquavit’ does not specify the obligation to use ethyl alcohol. However, using ethyl alcohol in the production of ‘Akvavit or aquavit’ is essential to ensure the quality of the product.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Spirit Drinks,
