Question 141 — agri-food

Summary

Ms. Emmanuelle Ménard draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the situation of French IGP wines, the marketing of which faces stiff competition from foreign wines, mainly Spanish, which are massively imported and whose packaging is all too often almost exact copies of Languedoc production. If this unfair competition, sometimes disguised, were to continue, it would be the world entire French wine industry which would collapse and with it, this requirement for quality which characterizes wines produced under a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). Faced with the absence of separate presentation of French and foreign productions in certain points of sale, it is essential to recall the need for clear labeling both to highlight local producers and for consumers who must be perfectly informed about the origin and quality of the wines. Consequently, it wishes to know the concrete measures that it plans to take in order to perpetuate the promotion of wines recognized under protected geographical indication and thus make it possible to better combat unfair competition from wines from Spain.
