The European Commission has just unveiled its proposed reform of EU wine policy, known as the “wine package”. A disappointing text for CEVI (European Confederation of Independent Winegrowers), which had actively submitted proposals to strengthen the resilience of Independent Winegrowers’ businesses and support their performance on the market.

On Monday, CEVI (European Confederation of Independent Winegrowers) held its General Assembly in the Lazio region of Italy. On this occasion, its members elected Samuel Masse (France) as President of the organisation. He succeeds Matilde Poggi (Italy), who chose not to run again after four years in office.

CEVI acknowledges the recommendations of the High-Level Group on the future of the wine sector. However, it highlights the need for more ambitious proposals regarding the EU’s trade policy, promotion, and wine tourism, and calls for better consideration of the needs of micro and SMEs that are the cornerstone of the Independent Winegrowers’ model.

CEVI participated in the first meeting of the High-Level Group on Wine established by the European Commission, to present its vision for the future of European wine policy and the preservation of the Independent Winegrowers’ model.
