ANNEX 1 referred to in Articles 4 and 6 of this Agreement
Method for determining the position of each member state in the vine and wine sector
1. Objective criteria determining the relative position of each member state in the vine and wine sector:
a) Average production of wines, special wines, musts, grape- or wine-based spirits (expressed in wine equivalents) over the last five-year period for which statistics are available, stripping out the two extreme values (P);
b) Average total surface area of the vineyard in the last three-year period for which statistics are available (S);
c) Average apparent consumption of wine and wine equivalents over the last three years for which statistics are available (C) = (P) production - E (exports) + I (imports).
2. Formula for determining the coefficient for each member state:
X % = (0.60 P (member state) + 0.20 S (member state) + 0.20 C (member state) ) 100 P (O.I.V Total) S (O.I.V Total) C (O.I.V Total)
3. The coefficient of each member state is updated:
a) at the start of the budget year following the accession of a new member;
b) every three years in light of the most recent available statistics.
4. New members:
New members joining the O.I.V in future years must pay a compulsory financial contribution calculated according to the formula defined in the present Annex, with the addition of their participation to the specific funding for languages, in the conditions fixed in Annex 2.
ANNEX 2 referred to in Articles 4, 5 and 6 of this Agreement
Method for determining member states' voting rights, compulsory financial contributions and methods for language funding
1. Basic votes:
Each member state has two basic votes.
2. Additional votes:
The total number of additional votes is equal to half the total number of basic votes. Up to such amount, additional votes are allocated as appropriate, in addition to basic votes, to certain member states according to their relative position in the vine and wine sector, according to the formula given in Annex 1.
