Name, Surname Ref. Ares(2020)2751335 - 27/05/2020 JANUSZ WOJCIECHOWSKI Commissioner for Agriculture Brussels, 25.05.2020 (2020)3063219 Dear Ms Tolleret, dear Honourable Members, Thank you for your letter of 15 April in which you explain all your concerns relating to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the European wine sector. I share your concerns about the extremely negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the farming community and on its economy. It was a matter of urgency to provide help and relief to European agricultural producers and to the wine sector in particular. This is why the Commission responded very rapidly by adopting on 30 April and on 4 May last, a package of market measures under Regulation (EU) No 1308/20131. Based on the urgency procedure enabled by Article 228 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, two Delegated Regulations2 are already in force and in application subject to no objection being voiced by the co-legislators. The remaining Delegated Regulation3 was transmitted to the Parliament on the day of its adoption by the Commission. Lastly, nine additional Implementing Regulations adopted by the Commission on 30 April 2020 became applicable as of 4 May 2020. Ms Irene Tolleret Member of the European Parliament European Parliament Bât. WILLY BRANDT - 04M057 60 rue Wiertz B-1047 - Brussels Email: [email protected] 1 Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007, OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 671 2 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/591 of 30 April 2020 opening a temporary exceptional private storage aid scheme for certain cheeses and fixing the amount of aid in advance Regulation (EU) No 1308/2017 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007, OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 671, OJ L140 of 4 May 2020, p.1 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/592 of 30 April 2020 on temporary exceptional measures derogating from certain provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council to address the market disturbance in the fruit and vegetables and wine sectors caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and measures linked to it, OJ L 140 of 4 May 2020, p. 6 3 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) XX/XX of 4 May 2020 derogating in respect of the year 2020 from Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 as regards the fruit and vegetables sector and from Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1149 as regards the wine sector in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic (Adopted by the Commission. To be published at the end of the scrutiny period). Under the particularly serious and damaging circumstances for European agriculture and wine production in particular, I sincerely hope that the European Parliament and the Council will voice without delay their opinion on the Delegated Regulations, so that all the planned improvements, including the increases in the Union’s support rates for measures under the wine Support Programmes, can benefit the European wine sector. You call for a series of necessary measures including green harvesting, crisis distillation and crisis storage. Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/592 introduces temporarily crisis distillation and crisis storage in the National Support Programmes in the wine sector (NSP), thus enabling both these measures on a voluntary basis. The price to be paid for the supply of the wine and for its distillation is to be set by Member States that have to ensure the reasonableness of the granted amounts. The legislation ensures that a beneficiary can receive both aid to crisis storage and aid to crisis distillation for different batches of wine. The alcohol resulting from the crisis distillation measure is to be used exclusively for energy or industrial purposes, including disinfection or pharmaceutical as you suggest. Coming to green harvesting, the Commission has foreseen additional flexibilities so that green harvesting can be carried out on parts of a holding, making it possible to reduce the overall yield of a holding. Furthermore, the end date of green harvesting has been extended to give producers more time to make the adequate decisions to manage their production. Moreover, the Commission has increased the Union’s support rate for green harvesting from 50 to 60%. As regards grubbing-up of vineyards, or of any permanent crops such as fruit orchards, the Commission is not in favour to support financially such operations that, in the past, have given a negative image of European agriculture and of the CAP. The solution to today’s crisis is not the destruction of producers’ production potential. The tools provided in the Commission’s recent package are intended to withdrawing certain volumes of wine from the market definitively or temporarily and managing the volume of the upcoming harvest. Today, the European wine policy is geared towards improving quality and competitiveness. Grubbing-up is supported when it is linked to such objectives, as is it the case for restructuring and conversion of vineyards in the framework of the NSP in the Wine Sector. You ask for a necessary reinforcement of promotion activities. This was done already in January to address the consequences of the imposition of a 25% tariff on US imports of certain European wines. With the help of the European Parliament and of the Council, the Commission set up and adopted a whole package of measures4 to improve the framework relating to the promotion of European wines in third countries in the context of wine support programmes. This package of regulations introduces greater flexibility for promotion operations so that among others, beneficiaries are not penalised if they are only partially complete ongoing promotion operations. 4 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/132 of 30 January 2020 laying down an emergency measure in the form of a derogation from Article 45(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards Union contribution to the promotion measure in the wine sector, OJ L 27 of 31.1.2020, p. 20 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/133 of 30 January 2020 derogating from Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1150 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the national support programmes in the wine sector, OJ L 27 of 31.1.2020, p. 24 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/419 of 30 January 2020 derogating from Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1149 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the national support programmes in the wine sector, OJ L 84 of 20.3.2020, p. 1 The package also includes an increase in the Union’s support rate for promotion from 50 to 60%. In addition, the above mentioned Delegated Regulation submitted to the opinion of the European Parliament on 4 May last, extends to the promotion measure the scope of the recent improvements, in particular the possibility for beneficiaries to amend the objective of their operations. As regards planting authorisations, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/6015 extends for one year the validity of planting authorisations that expire in 2020 because they could not be activated for reasons linked to the COVID-19 pandemic, or allows holders of authorisations not to implement them with no administrative penalty. Wine growers holding replanting authorisations and authorisations for new plantings are treated in a similar way. This will ensure that the growers are not subject to a reduction of their vineyard area in cases where they are prevented from replanting an area due to the pandemic crisis of COVID-19. In addition, when grubbing up in the context of anticipated replanting was impossible for wine growers in the year 2020, due to reasons linked to the pandemic of COVID-19, Member States have the possibility to give them more time to implement the grubbing up by extending the deadline by up to 12 months. You consider that it is necessary to allow a derogation to the labelling rules regarding the vintage year of a wine. Under the current circumstances of the COVID-19 crisis, it is very difficult to understand the request on the one hand, for measures to remove wine from the market (distillation, storage) and on the other hand, for labelling derogations to address a shortage of wine of the 2020 vintage. I would like to remind you that the wine that will be stored or distilled under our new measures does not have to be this year’s wine. Blending with several harvest years can take place for many reasons, to even out the harvest over a marketing year or to improve the taste or quality of a wine. Thus, producers can always ‘blend’ for technical necessities, but if the harvest year is indicated on the label, which is optional, 85% of the wine must come from that single harvest year. That is a Union rule and even adhered to worldwide. The requested labelling flexibility would go against the wine labelling and quality policy defended so strongly by the wine sector and would mislead the consumer as to the true characteristics of the wine. Therefore, should such labelling derogation become essential and justified by an evolving situation, in all cases, clear information to consumers as regards the percentages of the various vintages used (for example: 75% of 2020 and 25% of 2019 vintage) would be mandatory so that the consumer is not misled.

  • COMMON STATEMENT on the US-EU WINE TRADE RELATIONSHIP June 14, 2021
    COMMON STATEMENT ON THE US-EU WINE TRADE RELATIONSHIP June 14, 2021 The EU and the US wine sectors play a critical role in supporting a vibrant transatlantic trade relationship. This sector is an essential driving force for many rural economies and for a significant number of medium and small enterprises. The undersigned deeply regret that the wine sector, as a notable industry in our two economies is sometimes caught in the crosshairs of unrelated trade disputes, causing economic damage to producers, and putting the millions of jobs that they support at risk. Consumers are also victims of those trading conflicts, which can lead to higher prices and reduced consumer choice. We urge the European Union and the US to resolve current trade disputes, to stop any related retaliatory action against wine exports, and to strengthen their bilateral partnership in order to avoid any sanctions against those sectors, including in the context of the current World Trade Organization Large Civil Aircraft Airbus-Boeing disputes. As legislators and policy makers on both sides of the Atlantic, we acknowledge the importance and benefits of strengthening this bilateral partnership. Both the U.S. and the EU are each other’s largest export markets, with the total wine trade reaching more than $5.3 billion (€4.5 billion) annually, creating jobs and investment and supporting sustainable agriculture on both sides of the Atlantic. We ask our governments to further support the economic vitality and diversity of our wine sectors by working to remove all tariffs on wine to achieve a “zero for zero” wine trade environment.

  • Mr Josep Borrell Vice-President of the European Commission High Representative of the Union for the CFSP Rue De La Loi 170 1000 Brussels
    Mr Josep Borrell Vice-President of the European Commission High Representative of the Union for the CFSP Rue de la Loi 170 1000 Brussels Brussels, 16th April 2021 Dear Mr. High Representative; Mr Vice-President of the Commission: A delegation from the illegitimate National Assembly of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which emerged from the electoral farce organised on 6th December 2020 by the regime of Nicolás Maduro, recently paid a visit to Brussels and was officially received by the institution you lead. According to a statement you made on behalf of the European Union on 6th December, this spurious process took place in the absence of electoral conditions that could have guaranteed its credibility, without any respect for political pluralism, and in an atmosphere of persecution and disqualification of democratic leaders whose legitimate rights were curtailed. Your statement concludes that such circumstances could not consider this process credible, inclusive, and transparent and therefore the results did not represent the will of the Venezuelan people. That initial statement was confirmed on 6 January of this year by a new declaration, in similar terms to those expressed on 6 December, and by the conclusions of the Foreign Affairs Council of 25 January. These reiterated the lack of recognition of the electoral process and regretted the behaviour of the authorities of the Maduro regime, whose actions are preventing a solution to the serious crisis in Venezuela. We were surprised and gravely concerned to learn that on 14th April, at your request, senior officials of the European External Action Service received the aforementioned delegation, comprising Iris Varela, Pedro Carreño and Desirée Santos Amaral, at the EEAS headquarters.

  • European Parliament: 7Th February 2017 Redistribution of Political Balance
    POLICY PAPER European issues n°420 European Parliament: 7th February 2017 redistribution of political balance Charles de Marcilly François Frigot At the mid-term of the 8th legislature, the European Parliament, in office since the elections of May 2014, is implementing a traditional “distribution” of posts of responsibility. Article 19 of the internal regulation stipulates that the Chairs of the parliamentary committees, the Deputy-Chairs, as well as the questeurs, hold their mandates for a renewable 2 and a-half year period. Moreover, internal elections within the political groups have supported their Chairs, whilst we note that there has been some slight rebalancing in terms of the coordinators’ posts. Although Italian citizens draw specific attention with the two main candidates in the battle for the top post, we should note other appointments if we are to understand the careful balance between nationalities, political groups and individual experience of the European members of Parliament. A TUMULTUOUS PRESIDENTIAL provide collective impetus to potential hesitations on the part of the Member States. In spite of the victory of the European People’s Party (EPP) in the European elections, it supported Martin As a result the election of the new President of Schulz in July 2104 who stood for a second mandate as Parliament was a lively[1] affair: the EPP candidate – President of the Parliament.

  • Lettera Sassoli Chiusura Parlamento IT.Pages
    8 marzo 2020 Caro Presidente Sassoli, Ti scriviamo per esprimere la nostra profonda preoccupazione per la diffusione della malattia infettiva causata dal coronavirus COVID-19 in Europa e per richiedere ulte- riori misure di sicurezza per salvaguardare i Membri del Parlamento europeo, il per- sonale e la popolazione locale. Come ben sai, il livello di emergenza legato alla diffusione di questo virus è note- volmente aumentato nel corso delle ultime ore: il numero di casi confermati si sta moltiplicando in molti Stati membri, compreso il Belgio, e sono state confermate nuove aree di contagio. Misure di sicurezza straordinarie sono state adottate dalle autorità pubbliche di tutta Europa e intere aree sono state messe in quarantena. Il numero di casi confermati è in costante aumento in Belgio e a Bruxelles e questa settimana abbiamo riscontrato i primi casi di nuovi coronavirus nelle istituzioni del- l'UE. Sebbene apprezziamo che siano già state adottate misure straordinarie per far fron- te a questa emergenza, riteniamo che la situazione in rapida evoluzione e i maggiori rischi per la salute richiedano ulteriori misure di sicurezza come l'immediata interru- zione di tutti i lavori parlamentari, compresa la prossima sessione plenaria, come misura precauzionale. Il Parlamento europeo, con oltre 5000 persone che vi lavorano e viaggiano regolar- mente tra la loro città natale e Bruxelles, ha il potenziale per diventare un focolaio di trasmissione del coronavirus. Con la presente ti chiediamo di sospendere tutte le attività parlamentari con effetto immediato, fino a quando i rischi per la salute legati alla diffusione del virus saranno sotto controllo.

  • To the President of the European Commission Mrs. Ursula Von Der Leyen, Rue De La Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels
    To the President of the European Commission Mrs. Ursula von der Leyen, Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels To the Executive Vice-President of the European Commission Mr. Vladis Dombrovskis Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels Brussels, 22 October 2020, Subject: the EU must impose an import ban on Chinese companies using forced labour Dear President von der Leyen, Dear Vice-President Dombrovskis, For years, the Chinese regime has been detaining millions of human beings in camps, just because they were born Uyghurs. For years, Europe and the world have been witnessing a crime against humanity without opposing any resistance to it. In recent months, several studies have reported the use of Uyghur forced labour for the benefit of major European companies. Indeed, many Chinese factories, directly supplying EU brands exploit the Uyghurs and benefit from their forced labour. Facing this abjection, Europe must act to protect the lives and fundamental rights of Uyghurs. The EU should use its trade and market power to safeguards the founding principles enrichened in our Treaties and guiding our external policies. As the US did lately through an imports ban passed almost unanimously in the US House of Representatives, Europe urgently needs to establish a blacklist of Chinese companies implicated in Uyghur forced labour. We look forward to your response. Yours sincerely, 1. Raphaël Glucksmann, S&D 2. Dietmar Köster, S&D 3. Francisco Guerreiro, Greens 4. Sylvie Guillaume, S&D 5. Aurore Lalucq, S&D 6.
