Résumé

The Decree lays down provisions concerning general rules, procedures, inspections for the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for wine products. The term Appellation of Origin defines the geographical name (toponymy) of a district or certain region, which can be used as a trade name of a wine, provided that it is typical of the region concerned, i.e. of a quality and properties mainly due to factors characterizing the area (natural and technical coefficients). Wines coming from a certain region have the right to bear the toponymy of the region as an appellation of origin, provided that they fulfil the conditions laid down by the present Decree. Wines entitled to an appellation of origin are distinguished in wines of a controlled appellation of origin and wines of simple appellation of origin. Wines of controlled appellation of origin should come from grapes of selected varieties, cultivated traditionally in each area and on suitable for the production of quality wines in limited vine zones, within which they should be produced and fulfil certain conditions relating to the yields per hectare of vines, the pruning methods and the minimum content of sugar into the must. Wines within the category of simple appellation of origin should come from grapes of certain vine varieties, cultivated traditionally in an area and on suitable soils, within limited vine zones, where they should be produced. The toponymy designated as controlled appellation of origin is prohibited to be used simultaneously as a simple appellation of origin. Each person engaged in the production of vinicultural products entitled to an appellation of origin, is obliged to keep a register, which should contain full information allowing control of products. This information shall be determined by a joint Decision by the Ministers of Agriculture and Finance. All viticultural and vinicultural products (grapes, must, wines, special wines) entitled to an appellation of origin should be accompanied – in the course of their circulation, except for retail sale – by a report stating at least the names and the addresses of the consigner and the receiver, the place of origin, the weight or the volume and the kind of product, the alcoholic strength (the content of alcohol and deoxidizing sugar) and the appellation of origin, the kind and type of the said report, its use and supplementary data (depending on the nature of the product shall be defined by a joint Decision of the Ministers of Agriculture and Finance. A Central Committee for the Protection of Vine Products (C.C.P.V.P.) is constituted by the Ministry of Agriculture. The Committee is a consulting body responsible for the designation of appellation of origin, as well as for the protection and improvement of vine production and wine marketing.
