| Statement from USTR Spokeswoman Neena Moorjani on Interim Wine Agreement between the U.S. and European Community |
|
11/23/2005 |
"The United States and the European Community today signed an interim
agreement, in the form of an exchange of letters, related to wine trade between
the United States and the EC. This exchange of letters is the precursor to the
broader Wine Agreement, announced by USTR on September 15, 2005, and ensures
that U.S. wine exports to the EU will not be disrupted pending the signing and
entry into force of the Wine Agreement. Specifically, under the exchange of
letters the EC will continue to recognize U.S. wine-making practice, the United
States will accept EC wine-making practices, and EC wine imported into the
United States does not have to be accompanied by a certification attesting that
the wine is made in accordance with U.S. wine-making practices. EC procedures to
consider signing the Wine Agreement are currently under way and a final decision
on it is expected by the end of the year."
