(22)In accordance with point 3(a) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2021/2117 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote, liqueur wines of prolonged ageing may exceptionally have an actual alcoholic strength of not less than 14 % by volume instead of not less than 15 % volume. In accordance with that provision, the Commission is empowered to establish the list of liqueur wines benefiting from that derogation. Spain has requested the addition of several Spanish liqueur wines to that list. The Commission has assessed that request and concluded that it is therefore appropriate to insert a new point in Section B of Annex III to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/934 and to add a new Section in Appendix 1 to that Annex to address that request.
