Article 1007: Reconciliation

1. For the purposes of Article 405 (Reconciliation), each Party shall endeavour, where practicable, to undertake to reconcile, through harmonization or other means, standards-related measures such as labelling and packaging regulations and requirements and oenological practices.

2. Each Party shall, where appropriate and compatible with international standards, ensure that wine and wine products are labelled in accordance with any voluntary national standards that may be approved by the Standards Committee on Wine of the Canadian General Standards Board (the "Canadian Wine Standards") and that are consistent with federal legislation and regulations. Each Party shall use its best efforts to bring its legislation, regulations and policies into conformity with such standards.

3. Following approval of the Canadian Wine Standards, the Parties shall review and endeavour to reconcile the definition "wine and wine products" in Article 1013 with the definition approved by the Standards Committee on Wine of the Canadian General Standards Board. In attempting to reconcile these definitions, the Parties may not exclude any products covered by the definition in Article 1013 as it reads on the date of entry into force of this Agreement.
