Priority question for written answer P-000751/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Marko Vešligaj (S&D)
European wine makers are currently facing unprecedented circumstances, one of them being a considerable decline in wine consumption. This, if combined with climate impacts and rising production costs, is posing a serious threat to the sustainability of the sector. The high-level group on wine, in their paper of December 2024, issued certain recommendations, including the introduction of grubbing-up schemes.
- 1.Does the Commission intend to implement grubbing-up schemes for the wine sector as part of the new vision for agriculture and food and, if so, has any analysis been done at the level of individual Member States on the impact these schemes might have?
- 2.Given that some stakeholders in the agricultural sector have expressed their concern about grubbing-up schemes as a long-term solution, will any other measures be put in place to mitigate the challenges faced by the wine sector?
