The CMO wine reform and the PGIs – PDOs The European Community policy governing the new Common Market Organisation (CMO) of the wine industry came into effect in its entirety in the half semester of 2009. The specifications must include the following categories: product name product description defined geographical area elements that prove that the product originates from a defined area description of the acquisition procedure connection to origin name of the management organisation labelling regulations standards to be respected Conclusion The French vineyard has consistently demonstrated its ability to adapt when confronted by ever-increasing consumer expectations and ever-increasingly strong international competition. Our viticulture has always known how to stand up to the challenge and restructure itself, extensively transforming its offer. There are several objectives to this CMO reform: “Reinforce the competitiveness of the Community’s wine-producers Establish the reputation that wines from the European Community are the best in the world Re-conquer former markets and develop new markets in the Community and in the world Establish a viti-viniculture protocol operating on the basis of clear, simple and efficient regulations allowing a balance of supply and demand Establish a viti-viniculture system that preserves the best traditions of the community’s viti-vinicultural production, strengthens and supports the social fabric of the numerous rural areas and guarantees that production, as a whole, respects the environment.” In addition to giving greater importance to the regional dimension of our production, this approach will accompany not only the willingness to promote the wines in connection with the pedoclimatic qualities of our territories, but also the savoir-faire of wine-producers and the organisation of the production line around these designations of quality. Protected Geographical Indication management is guaranteed by the INAO. This organisation process requests for PGI status. It also supervises the inspections of these designations. A Protected Geographical Indication title is made up of the designation of the product type accompanied by a geographical name. The specifications are also associated with an inspection plan. An accredited and certified management organisation undertakes, on the basis of this plan, the industry’s inspection procedures. This third-party organisation offers a guarantee of competency, impartiality and independence. Up until August 1, 2009, the PGIs in France concerned primarily agricultural products destined for human consumption (cheese, fruits, vegetables and cereals, oils and other fats, fish, meat and certain beverages [ciders]) This European Community reform clarifies the situation and defines a setting for which our vineyard is prepared, thanks to Vins de Pays commitment to long-term qualitative approaches. These approaches, drawing on the specifications that integrate the territorial designation product quality and inspection systems, bring the guarantees that are required in the PGI setting and that are expected by consumers and the national and international marketplace. Structure of French viticulture throughout the CMO reform In France, one of the major elements in this new regulatory framework is the redefinition of wine categories. In relation to a production rooted in territory, the categories are now divided as follows: Protected Geographical Indication wines (PGI), Protected Designation of Origin wines (PDO) Wines without Geographical Indication (without GI). The PGI is a collective approach, with the goal of guaranteeing the protection of a specific product in a defined geographical area. It is managed by a structure that regroups and represents the actors of the products’ production line. The products are defined by a series of specifications.
