lpv:translated text	"Commissioner, it seems that there are still major difficulties in the wine and spirits sector which are preventing the smooth conclusion of the agreement between the European Union and South Africa. It is essential that we know if South Africa has taken the necessary measures to ensure that certain basic designations such as Port and Sherry are not used in their imports to the European Community and that in five years time, they will not be used for any export markets. Moreover, we do not imagine, Commissioner, that you foresee increasing the current level of imports of South African wine into the European Union – I shall remind you that it currently stands at 320,000 hectolitres – without preserving minimum customs rights, if the whole European industry is not to risk being seriously damaged. In order to resolve this problem, I believe that it would only need an amendment to Annex 10 of the protocol to the agreement, and I would like you to be able to give us some fundamental points of reassurance on this matter. According to other information though, it would seem that we are obliged to amend this Annex if it were not validated on 30 September. I would therefore like to know the Commission’s position on whether this Annex 10 is valid now, six days after the initial deadline, or whether the Commission has proposed an amendment. Commissioner, we have the feeling that Pretoria has a quite different understanding of this agreement to that of your services and particularly of its Annex 10. We ask you, in any case, not to envisage a conclusion of an overall agreement unless there is already an equitable “wines” agreement which is not destructive for either party."@en1
