The part of the total number of hectares available for new plantings that Member States have decided to allocate on a pro rata basis to all applicants at national level as referred to in Article 4(2)(b)(i), shall be divided among individual eligible applications according to the following formula, while respecting the possible limits referred to in Article 3(1):
A1 = Ar × (%Pr × Tar/Tap)
=
authorisation granted to an individual applicant according to pro rata (in hectares)
=
area requested by the producer in his application (in hectares)
=
proportion of the total availability to be granted on a pro rata basis
=
total area made available in authorisations (in hectares)
=
total of all applications by producers (in hectares)
The part of the total number of hectares available for new plantings that Member States have decided to allocate at national level according to the priority criteria selected as referred to in Article 4(2)(b)(ii), shall be divided among individual eligible applications in the following way:
Member States shall select the priority criteria at national level and may give all the criteria selected the same importance or attribute them different weighing. Member States may apply such weighing uniformly at national level or change the weighing of the criteria depending on the area within the territory of the Member State.
Where Member States attribute the same importance to all criteria selected at national level, a value of one (1) shall be associated to each of them.
Where Member States attribute to the criteria selected at national level different weighing, a value varying between zero (0) and one (1) shall be associated to each of those criteria and the sum of all individual values must always be equal to one (1).
Where the weighing of these criteria varies depending on the area within the territory of the Member State, an individual value varying between zero (0) and one (1) shall be associated to each of those criteria for each of the areas. In this case, the sum of all individual weights of the selected criteria for each of those areas must always be equal to one (1).
Member States shall assess each eligible individual application on the basis of the compliance with the priority criteria selected. In order to assess the level of such compliance with each of the priority criteria, Member States shall establish a single scale at national level, on the basis of which to attribute a number of points to each application in relation to each of those criteria.
The single scale shall pre-define the number of points to be attributed in relation to the level of compliance with each of the criteria, detailing also the number of points to be attributed in relation to each of the elements of each specific criterion.
Member States shall establish a ranking of individual applications at national level on the basis of the total points attributed to each individual application according to the compliance or the level of compliance referred to in point (b) and, where applicable, the importance of the criteria referred to in point (a). For this purpose, they shall use the following formula:
Pt = W1 × Pt1 + W2 × Pt2 + … + Wn × Ptn
=
total of points given to a specific individual application
=
weight of criteria 1, 2, …, n
=
level of compliance of the application with criteria 1, 2, … n
In areas where the weighing is zero for all priority criteria, all eligible applications shall receive the maximum value in the scale for what concerns the level of compliance.
Member States shall grant authorisations to the individual applicants following the order established in the ranking mentioned in point (d) and until the hectares to be allocated according to the priority criteria are exhausted. The full number of hectares requested by an applicant shall be satisfied in the form of an authorisation before granting an authorisation to the next applicant according to the ranking.
If the hectares available are exhausted on a position of the ranking where several applications have the same number of points, the remaining hectares shall be allocated on a pro rata basis to these applications.
If the limit for a certain region, or area eligible for a PDO or PGI, or area without geographical indication, is reached when granting authorisations pursuant to point A and points (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this point B, no further applications originating from that region or area shall be satisfied.
When samples of wine, grape must or another liquid wine product are taken in the context of assistance between control bodies, the competent body shall ensure that:
in the case of products in containers of not more than 60 litres warehoused in one lot, the samples are representative of the entire lot;
in the case of products in containers with a nominal capacity of more than 60 litres, the samples are representative of the contents of the container from which the samples are taken.
Samples shall be taken by pouring the product in question into at least five clean containers each having a nominal capacity of not less than 75 cl. In the case of products referred to in point 1(a), sampling may also take the form of removing at least five containers having a nominal capacity of not less than 75 cl from the lot to be examined.
Where samples of wine distillate are to be analysed by nuclear magnetic resonance of deuterium, the samples shall be placed in containers having a nominal capacity of 25 cl, or even 5 cl where they are to be sent from one official laboratory to another.
The samples shall be taken, closed where appropriate, and sealed in the presence of a representative of the establishment where the sample is taken or of a representative of the carrier if the sample is taken during transport. If no representative is present, the report referred to in point 4 shall mention this fact.
Each sample shall be fitted with an inert and non-reusable closure.
Each sample shall bear a label which complies with Point A of Part II.
Where the container is too small for the prescribed label to be attached thereto, the container shall be marked with an indelible number and the required information shall be indicated on a separate sheet.
The representative of the establishment where the sample is taken or the representative of the carrier shall be requested to sign the label or, as applicable, the sheet.
The official of the competent body authorised to take samples shall draw up a written report in which he shall note any observations he considers important for assessing the samples. In the report he shall note, where necessary, any statements by the carrier's representative or the representative of the establishment where the sample was taken, and shall request such representative to affix his signature. He shall note the amount of the product from which the sample was taken. If the signatures referred to above and in the third subparagraph of point 3 have been refused, the report shall mention this fact.
Wherever samples are taken, one of the samples shall remain as a control sample in the establishment where the sample was taken, and another with the competent body whose official took the sample. Three of the samples shall be sent to an official laboratory, which will carry out the analytical or organoleptic examination. There one of the samples shall be analysed. Another shall be kept as a control sample. Control samples shall be kept for a minimum period of three years after sampling.
Consignments of samples shall bear on the external packaging a red label complying with the model in Point B of Part II. The label shall be 50 mm by 25 mm.
When dispatching samples, the competent body of the Member State from which the samples are sent shall affix its stamp partially on the outer packaging of the parcel and partially on the red label.
Required information:
name, address, including Member State, telephone, fax and email of the competent body on whose instructions sampling was carried out;
serial number of the sample;
date on which the sample was taken;
name of the official of the competent body authorised to take the sample;
name, address, telephone, fax, email of the undertaking in which the sample was taken;
identity of the container from which the sample was taken (e.g. number of the container, number of the lot of bottles, etc.);
description of the product, including production area, year of harvest, actual or potential alcoholic strength and, if possible, wine grape variety;
the words: ‘The reserved control sample may be examined only by a laboratory authorised to carry out control analyses. Breaking the seal is a punishable offence.’
Remarks:
Minimum size: 100 mm by 100 mm.
Products for analytical and organoleptic testing under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/274
Each sample must consist of at least 10 kg of ripe grapes of the same variety. They are to be taken in the condition in which they are found. Sampling must be carried out during the period when the plot in question is harvested. The grapes collected must be representative of the whole plot. The fresh grape samples, or the derived pressed must, may be preserved by freezing until further usage. Only in the case that oxygen-18 measurement of the water of the must is foreseen, an aliquot of must may be taken separately and preserved after pressing the whole grape sample.
When the samples are taken, a description sheet is to be drawn up. This sheet must include a first part concerning the sampling of the grapes and a second part concerning vinification. It must be kept with the sample and must accompany it during all transportation. It must be kept up to date by means of an entry regarding each type of treatment undergone by the sample. The description sheet concerning the sampling is to be drawn up in accordance with Point A of the questionnaire in Part III.
Vinification must be carried out by the competent body or by a department authorised to do so by that body, wherever possible under conditions comparable with the normal conditions in the production area of which the sample is representative. Vinification should result in the total transformation of the sugar into alcohol, i.e. in less than 2 g/l of residual sugar. However, in certain cases, e.g. for ensuring a better representativity, higher amounts of residual sugars can be accepted. As soon as the wine has clarified and stabilised by means of SO2, it must be put in 75 cl bottles and labelled.
The description sheet for vinification is to be drawn up in accordance with Point B of the questionnaire in Part III.
