Amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/471 32026R0471
applies from: unchanged
The first subparagraph of Article 167(1) now specifies that producing Member States' marketing rules to regulate supply may include the setting of maximum yields and rules for the management of stocks, whereas the earlier text made no such specification.
The revised text also describes Member States as able to take into account, in a stated order of priority, decisions of interbranch organisations, producer groups referred to in Regulation (EU) 2024/1143, and producer organisations, subject to a representativeness condition tied to Article 164(3) and Article 166a(2), whereas the earlier version referred only to decisions taken by interbranch organisations recognised under Articles 157 and 158.

Article 167
Marketing rules to improve and stabilise the operation of the common market in wines
1. In order to improve and stabilise the operation of the common market in wines, including the grapes, musts and wines from which they derive, producer producing Member States may lay down marketing rules to regulate supply, particularly by way including the setting of maximum yields and setting rules for the management of stocks. Member States may take into account, in decreasing order of priority, decisions taken adopted by interbranch organisations recognised under Articles 157 and 158. 158 of this Regulation, producer groups referred to in Articles 32 and 33 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1143, and producer organisations recognised under Articles 152 and 154 of this Regulation, where such organisations and groups are considered to be representative of the wine sector in accordance with Article 164(3) and Article 166a(2) of this Regulation, in the economic area or areas where the rules are intended to be applied.
Such rules shall be proportionate to the objective pursued and shall not:
(a) relate to any transaction after the first marketing of the produce concerned;
(b) allow for price fixing, including where prices are set for guidance or recommendation;
(c) render unavailable an excessive proportion of the vintage that would otherwise be available;
(d) provide scope for refusing to issue the national and Union certificates required for the circulation and marketing of wines where such marketing is in accordance with those rules.
2. The rules provided for in paragraph 1 shall be brought to the attention of operators by being published in full in an official publication of the Member State concerned.
3. Member States shall notify the Commission of any decisions taken under this Article.
