Proposal for a regulation
Recital 3
Recital 3
(3) The measures applicable to spirit drinks should contribute to attaining a high level of consumer protection, preventing deceptive practices and attaining market transparency and fair competition. They should safeguard the reputation which the Union’s spirit drinks have achieved in the Union and on the world market by continuing to take into account the traditional practices used in the production of spirit drinks as well as increased demand for consumer protection and information. Technological innovation should also be taken into account in respect of spirit drinks, where such innovation serves to improve quality, without affecting the traditional character of the spirit drinks concerned. The production of spirit drinks is governed by Regulations 178/2002 on the general principles of food law, 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers and 2017/625 on official controls on food and feed, and is strongly linked to the agricultural sector. Besides representing a major outlet for the agriculture of the Union, this link is determinant for the quality, safety and reputation of the spirit drinks produced in the Union. This strong link to the agricultural-food sector should therefore be emphasised by the regulatory framework.
