Nothing in this Agreement prohibits the application to any Party of non-conforming measures specifically authorized by international trade agreements, as follows:
(a) Ontario and British Columbia may maintain measures requiring private wine store outlets (in existence on October 4, 1987) to discriminate in favour of wine of Ontario and British Columbia to a degree no greater than the discrimination required by such measures as they existed on October 4, 1987;
(b) Quebec may require any wine sold in grocery stores to be bottled in Quebec, provided that alternative outlets are provided in Quebec for the sale of wine of other Parties, whether or not such wine is bottled in Quebec. British Columbia and Quebec agree to negotiate by March 31, 1997, equivalent access for wine and wine products of the other Province. Until an agreement is implemented, British Columbia retains the right to apply measures of reciprocal effect to wine and wine products produced in Quebec;55
(c) British Columbia may maintain automatic listing measures for British Columbia estate wineries in existence on October 4, 1987, producing less than 30,000 gallons of wine annually and meeting existing content requirements; and
(d) a Party may maintain or introduce a measure limiting on-premise sales by a producer of beverage alcohol products to those beverage alcohol products produced on its premises.
