5 dishes to remember in the EU – Politico sparkling wine package

The Commission wishes to solve this problem with a common label on the scale of the block in the form of a QR code.

Ireland finally adopted the law, which comes into force next year.

The extreme time is to decimate harvests, whether by floods, droughts or sudden and non -seasonal temperature offsets. This attracts grape butterflies, mites and licks that distribute plant diseases such as mildew down and powder. The damage is attractive, several countries last year suffering from their worst production since 2017 (Belgium has dropped by 64%).

Meanwhile, many viticultural regions jostle rare water and spray many doses of pesticides in fossil fuels. In light of this, Brussels wants to strengthen the resilience of the sector to climate change and also increase its role of attenuation.

It will mainly do so by hiking its support for investments, so that countries can go from recovery of 50% of their 80% convivial wine investments.

Ignacio Sánchez Récarte, Secretary General of the European Committee for Wine Company, described it as “good legal package”, but said that it “would not disagree if a trade war involving ugly wine between the EU and the United States”, noting that the threat of Donald Trump per week per week.
