Council Minutes, 9 October 2018
The following is an extract from the minutes of the Environment Council meeting on the 9th October:
The Council adopted an amendment to regulation 110/2008 as regards nominal quantities for the placing on the EU market of single distilled shochu produced by pot still and bottled in Japan (PECONS 56/18).
The new amending regulation makes sure that, following the signing of the Economic Partnership Agreement between the EU and Japan on 17 July 2018, shochu can be marketed in the EU in traditional bottles although their nominal quantities do not correspond the nominal quantities previously foreseen for prepacked spirit drinks.
