The reform of the wine CMO adopted in 2008 and incorporated into Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/20072 of 22 October 2007 (the 'Single CMO Regulation') aims to increase the competitiveness of the EU wine producers. It was designed as a two-phase process. It was firstly essential to reach a market balance through the progressive removal of market intervention measures, accompanied by a three-year grubbing-up scheme, while the second phase as from 2012 focuses on tools to strengthen the competitiveness of EU wine producers, such as restructuring and conversion of vineyards, investments and promotion in third countries. These measures are managed through NSP. Besides, new regulatory measures on oenological practices, quality and labelling have been harmonised, updated and simplified with the view to becoming more consumer and market oriented. This report focuses on the first three years of the reform's implementation, in particular in what concerns the grubbing-up scheme and the measures included in the NSP. It also analyses the impact of the new quality policy, the new rules on wine labelling and on oenological practices. The trends in the EU wine market since 2007, following the adoption of the reform, are also analysed. The report is based on communications submitted by Member States to the Commission in accordance with EU law, the report on the implementation of the measure for the promotion on third country markets, the report of the Court of Auditors, the external evaluation of COGEA on the wine reform, and internal analyses based on official statistical information. |
