Commission notice concerning the application of the Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin or the protocols on rules of origin providing for diagonal cumulation between the Contracting Parties to this Convention

(2020/C 67/02)

For the purpose of the application of diagonal cumulation of origin among the Contracting Parties (1) to the Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin (2) (hereafter referred to as ‘the Convention’), the Parties concerned notify each other, through the European Commission, of the origin rules in force with the other Parties.

It is recalled that diagonal cumulation can only be applied if the Parties of final manufacture and of final destination have concluded free trade agreements, containing identical rules of origin, with all the Parties participating in the acquisition of originating status, i.e. with all the Parties from which the materials used originate. Materials originating in a Party which has not concluded an agreement with the Parties of final manufacture and/or of final destination shall be treated as non-originating. Specific examples are given in the Explanatory Notes concerning the pan-Euro-Mediterranean protocols on rules of origin (3).

Based on the notifications made by the Parties to the European Commission, the tables attached specify:

| | Table 1 – a simplified overview of cumulation possibilities on 1 December 2019. |
| --- | --- |

Table 1 – a simplified overview of cumulation possibilities on 1 December 2019.

| | Tables 2 and 3 – the date from which diagonal cumulation becomes applicable. |
| --- | --- |

Tables 2 and 3 – the date from which diagonal cumulation becomes applicable.

In Table 1, an ‘X’ marks the existence between 2 partners of a free trade agreement containing rules of origin allowing cumulation based on pan-Euro-Mediterranean model rules of origin. To use diagonal cumulation with a third partner, an ‘X’ should be present in all the intersection of the table between the 3 partners. However, there are some exceptions to diagonal cumulation. For such cases, either (1) or an (*) next to the ‘X’ will point out the exceptions to consider.

In Table 2, the dates mentioned refer to:

| — | The date of application of diagonal cumulation on the basis of Article 3 of Appendix I to the Convention where the free trade agreement concerned refers to the Convention. In that case the date is preceded by ‘(C)’; |
| --- | --- |

—

The date of application of diagonal cumulation on the basis of Article 3 of Appendix I to the Convention where the free trade agreement concerned refers to the Convention. In that case the date is preceded by ‘(C)’;

| — | The date of application of the protocols on rules of origin providing for diagonal cumulation attached to the free trade agreement concerned, in other cases. |
| --- | --- |

—

The date of application of the protocols on rules of origin providing for diagonal cumulation attached to the free trade agreement concerned, in other cases.

In Table 3 the dates mentioned refer to the date of application of the protocols on rules of origin providing for diagonal cumulation attached to the free trade agreements between the EU, Turkey and the participants to the EU’s Stabilisation and Association Process. Each time a reference to the Convention is made in a free trade agreement between Parties in this table, a date preceded by ‘(C)’ has been added in Table 2.

It is also recalled that materials originating in Turkey covered by the EU-Turkey customs union can be incorporated as originating materials for the purpose of diagonal cumulation between the European Union and the countries participating in the Stabilisation and Association Process with which an origin protocol is in force.

The codes for the Contracting Parties listed in the tables are given here below.

Notice of initiation of a partial interim review of the anti-dumping and countervailing measures applicable to imports of certain graphite electrode systems originating in India

(2020/C 67/03)

The European Commission (‘the Commission’) has received a request for a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union (1) (‘the basic anti-dumping Regulation’) and pursuant to Article 19 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1037 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Union (2) (‘the basic anti-subsidy Regulation’).

1.   Request for review

The request for review was lodged by HEG Limited (‘the applicant’), an exporting producer from India (‘the country concerned’). The partial interim review is limited in scope to the examination of injury.

2.   Product under review

The product subject to this review is graphite electrodes of a kind used for electric furnaces, with an apparent density of 1,65 g/cm3 or more and an electrical resistance of 6,0 μ.Ω.m or less, and nipples used for such electrodes, whether imported together or separately, originating in India (‘graphite electrodes’ or ‘product under review’), currently falling under CN codes ex 8545 11 00 (TARIC code 8545110010) and ex 8545 90 90 (TARIC code 8545909010).

3.   Existing measures

The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping and countervailing duty imposed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/422 (3) and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/421 (4).

4.   Grounds for the review

The request pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 19 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation is based on sufficient evidence, provided by the applicant that, as far as injury is concerned, the circumstances on the basis of which the existing measures were imposed have changed and that these changes are of a lasting nature.

The applicant submitted evidence pointing to changed circumstances of a lasting nature since the measures were last renewed in 2017. The applicant submitted that there is a global shortage of the graphite electrodes, which has caused a massive shift upward in global prices of graphite electrodes and in profitability of its producers, also in the EU. In particular, prices in the Union are today around 400 % higher compared to prices at the end of 2015 (i.e. the end of the investigation period of the last expiry review). The applicant submitted a market study, in which it was concluded that prices are expected to stabilize at these high levels in the next years. Due to this price increase, the applicant alleges that the Union producers have very good profit margins and are no longer in a vulnerable situation.

Therefore, the applicant alleges that the continued imposition of the measures at the existing level, which was based on the level of injury previously established, appears to be no longer necessary to offset the effects of injurious dumping and subsidisation as previously established.

5.   Procedure

Having determined, after informing the Member States that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of a partial interim review limited to the examination of injury, the Commission hereby initiates a review in accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 19 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation.

The review will assess the need for the continuation, removal or amendment of the existing measures.

Regulation (EU) 2018/825 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), which entered into force on 8 June 2018 (TDI Modernisation package), introduced significant changes to the timetable and deadlines previously applicable in anti-dumping proceedings. The time-limits for interested parties to come forward, in particular at the early stage of investigations, are shortened.

6.   Review investigation period and period considered

The investigation of injury will cover the period from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019 (‘the review investigation period’). The examination of trends relevant for the assessment of injury will cover the period from 1 January 2016 to the end of the investigation period (‘the period considered’).

7.   Procedure for the determination of injury

7.1.   
  Investigating exporting producers

Exporting producers in India have to fill in a questionnaire within 37 days from the date of publication of this Notice. The questionnaire will also be made available to the authorities of India.

A copy of the above-captioned questionnaire for exporting producers is available in the file for inspection by interested parties and on DG Trade’s website https://trade.ec.europa.eu/tdi/case_details.cfm?id=2440

7.2.   
  Investigating unrelated importers
   (6) (7)

Unrelated importers of the product under review from India to the Union, including those that did not cooperate in the investigation(s) leading to the measures in force, are invited to participate in this investigation.

In view of the potentially large number of unrelated importers involved in this Interim review and in order to complete the investigation within the statutory time limits, the Commission may limit to a reasonable number the unrelated importers that will be investigated by selecting a sample (this process is also referred to as ‘sampling’). The sampling will be carried out in accordance with Article 17 of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 27 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation.

In order to enable the Commission to decide whether sampling is necessary and, if so, to select a sample, all unrelated importers, or representatives acting on their behalf, are hereby requested to provide the Commission with the information on their company requested in the Annex I to this Notice within 7 days of the date of publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union.

All interested parties wishing to submit any other relevant information regarding the selection of the sample, excluding the information requested above, must do so within 21 days of the publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.

If a sample is necessary, the importers may be selected based on the largest representative volume of sales of the product under review in the Union which can reasonably be investigated within the time available.

Once the Commission has received the necessary information to select a sample, it will inform the parties concerned of its decision on the sample of importers. The Commission will also add a note reflecting the sample selection to the file for inspection by interested parties. Any comment on the sample selection must be received within 3 days of the date of notification of the sample decision.

In order to obtain information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will make available questionnaires to the sampled unrelated importers. Those parties must submit a completed questionnaire within 30 days from the date of the notification of the decision about the sample, unless otherwise specified.

A copy of the questionnaire for importers is available in the file for inspection by interested parties and on DG Trade’s website https://trade.ec.europa.eu/tdi/case_details.cfm?id=2440

7.3.   
  Investigating Union producers

A determination of injury is based on positive evidence and involves an objective examination of the volume of the dumped imports, their effect on prices on the Union market and the consequent impact of those imports on the Union industry. In order to establish whether the Union industry is injured, Union producers of the product under review are invited to participate in the Commission investigation.

In view of the large number of Union producers concerned and in order to complete the investigation within the statutory time-limits, the Commission may decide to limit to a reasonable number the Union producers that will be investigated by selecting a sample (this process is also referred to as ‘sampling’). The sampling is carried out in accordance with Article 17 of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 27 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation.

In order to enable the Commission to decide whether sampling is necessary, and if so, to select a sample, all Union producers, or representatives acting on their behalf, including the ones who did not cooperate in the investigation(s) leading to the measures subject to the present review, are hereby requested to make themselves known to the Commission. These parties have to do so within 7 days of the date of publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified, by providing the Commission with the information on their company(ies) requested in Annex II to this Notice.

In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for the selection of the sample of Union producers, the Commission may contact any known associations of Union producers.

All interested parties wishing to submit any other relevant information regarding the selection of the sample, excluding the information requested above, must do so within 21 days of the publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.

If a sample is necessary, the Union producers may be selected based on the largest representative volume of sales in the Union which can reasonably be investigated within the time available. All known Union producers and associations of Union producers will be notified by the Commission of the companies selected to be in the sample.

In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation with regard to Union producers, the Commission will send questionnaires to the Union producers selected to be in the sample and to any known association of Union producers.

All Union producers selected to be in the sample will have to submit a completed questionnaire within 30 days from the date of notification of the sample selection, unless otherwise specified.

A copy of the questionnaire for Union producers is available in the file for inspection by interested parties and on DG Trade’s website https://trade.ec.europa.eu/tdi/case_details.cfm?id=2440

8.   Interested parties

In order to participate in the investigation interested parties, such as exporting producers, Union producers, importers and their representative associations, users and their representative associations, trade unions and representative consumer organisations first have to demonstrate that there is an objective link between their activities and the product under review.

Exporting producers, Union producers and importers who made information available in accordance to the procedures described in sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 above will be considered as interested parties if there is an objective link between their activities and the product under review.

Other parties will only be able to participate in the investigation as interested party from the moment they make themselves known, and provided that there is an objective link between their activities and the product under review. Being considered as an interested party is without prejudice to the application of Article 18 of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 28 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation.

Access to the file available for inspection for interested parties is made via TRON.tdi at the following address: https://tron.trade.ec.europa.eu/tron/TDI. Please follow the instructions on that page to get access.

9.   Other written submissions

Subject to the provisions of this Notice, all interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known, submit information and provide supporting evidence. Unless otherwise specified, this information and supporting evidence must reach the Commission within 37 days of the date of publication of this Notice.

10.   Possibility to be heard by the Commission investigation services

All interested parties may request to be heard by the Commission investigation services. Any request to be heard must be made in writing and must specify the reasons for the request as well as a summary of what the interested party wishes to discuss during the hearing. The hearing will be limited to the issues set out by the interested parties in writing beforehand.

In principle, hearings will not be used to present factual information which is not yet on file. Nevertheless, in the interest of good administration and to enable Commission services to progress with the investigation, interested parties may be directed to provide new factual information after a hearing.

11.   Instructions for making written submissions and sending completed questionnaires and correspondence

Information submitted to the Commission for the purpose of trade defence investigations shall be free from copyrights. Interested parties, before submitting to the Commission information and/or data which is subject to third party copyrights, must request specific permission to the copyright holder explicitly allowing the Commission a) to use the information and data for the purpose of this trade defence proceeding and b) to provide the information and/or data to interested parties to this investigation in a form that allows them to exercise their rights of defence.

All written submissions, including the information requested in this Notice, completed questionnaires and correspondence provided by interested parties for which confidential treatment is requested shall be labelled ‘Sensitive’ (8). Parties submitting information in the course of this investigation are invited to reason their request for confidential treatment.

Parties providing ‘Sensitive’ information are required to furnish non-confidential summaries of it pursuant to Article 19(2) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 29(2) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation, which will be labelled ‘Open for inspection by interested parties’. Those summaries should be sufficiently detailed to permit a reasonable understanding of the substance of the information submitted in confidence.

If a party providing confidential information fails to show good cause for a confidential treatment request or does not furnish a non-confidential summary of it in the requested format and quality, the Commission may disregard such information unless it can be satisfactorily demonstrated from appropriate sources that the information is correct.

Interested parties are invited to make all submissions and requests via TRON.tdi (https://tron.trade.ec.europa.eu/tron/TDI) including scanned powers of attorney and certification sheets, with the exception of voluminous replies which shall be submitted on a CD-ROM or DVD by hand or by registered mail. By using TRON.tdi or email, interested parties express their agreement with the rules applicable to electronic submissions contained in the document ‘CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION IN TRADE DEFENCE CASES’ published on the website of the Directorate-General for Trade: http://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/docs/2011/june/tradoc_148003.pdf. The interested parties must indicate their name, address, telephone and a valid email address and they should ensure that the provided email address is a functioning official business email which is checked on a daily basis. Once contact details are provided, the Commission will communicate with interested parties by TRON.tdi or email only, unless they explicitly request to receive all documents from the Commission by another means of communication or unless the nature of the document to be sent requires the use of a registered mail. For further rules and information concerning correspondence with the Commission including principles that apply to submissions via TRON.tdi and by email, interested parties should consult the communication instructions with interested parties referred to above.

12.   Schedule of the investigation

The investigation shall normally be concluded within 12 months and in any event no later than 15 months from the date of the publication of this Notice, pursuant to Article 11(5) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 22(1) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation.

13.   Possibility to comment on other parties’ submissions

In order to guarantee the rights of defence, interested parties should have the possibility to comment on information submitted by other interested parties. When doing so, interested parties may only address issues raised in the other interested parties’ submissions and may not raise new issues.

Comments on the information provided by other interested parties in reaction to the disclosure of the definitive findings should be submitted within 5 days from the deadline to comment on the definitive findings, unless otherwise specified. If there is an additional final disclosure, comments filed by other interested parties in reaction to this further disclosure should be made within 1 day from the deadline to comment on this further disclosure, unless otherwise specified.

The outlined timeframe is without prejudice to the Commission’s right to request additional information from interested parties in duly justified cases.

14.   Extension to time limits specified in this Notice

Extensions to time-limits provided for in this Notice may be granted upon request of interested parties showing due cause.

Any extension to the time-limits provided for in this Notice should only be requested in exceptional circumstances and will only be granted if duly justified. In any event, any extension to the deadline to reply to questionnaires will be limited normally to 3 days, and as a rule will not exceed 7 days. Regarding time limits for the submission of other information specified in the Notice of Initiation, extensions will be limited to 3 days unless exceptional circumstances are demonstrated.

15.   Non-cooperation

In cases where any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made on the basis of facts available, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 28 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation.

Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information may be disregarded and use may be made of facts available.

If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 28 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.

Failure to give a computerised response shall not be deemed to constitute non-cooperation, provided that the interested party shows that presenting the response as requested would result in an unreasonable extra burden or unreasonable additional cost. The interested party should immediately contact the Commission.

16.   Hearing Officer

Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer for trade proceedings. The Hearing Officer reviews requests for access to the file, disputes regarding the confidentiality of documents, requests for extension of time limits and any other request concerning the rights of defence of interested parties and third parties as may arise during the proceeding.

The Hearing Officer may organise hearings and mediate between the interested party/-ies and Commissions services to ensure that the interested parties’ rights of defence are being fully exercised. A request for a hearing with the Hearing Officer should be made in writing and should specify the reasons for the request. The Hearing Officer will examine the reasons for the requests. These hearings should only take place if the issues have not been settled with the Commission services in due course.

Any request must be submitted in good time and expeditiously so as not to jeopardise the orderly conduct of proceedings. To that effect, interested parties should request the intervention of the Hearing Officer at the earliest possible time following the occurrence of the event justifying such intervention. Where hearing requests are submitted outside the relevant timeframes, the Hearing Officer will also examine the reasons for such late requests, the nature of the issues raised and the impact of those issues on the rights of defence, having due regard to the interests of good administration and the timely completion of the investigation.

For further information and contact details interested parties may consult the Hearing Officer’s web pages on DG Trade’s website: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/trade-policy-and-you/contacts/hearing-officer/

17.   Processing of personal data

Any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council (9).

A data protection notice that informs all individuals of the processing of personal data in the framework of Commission’s trade defence activities is available on DG Trade’s website: DG Trade’s website: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/accessing-markets/trade-defence/

Publication of a communication of approval of a standard amendment to the product specification for a name in the wine sector referred to in Article 17(2) and (3) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33

(2020/C 67/04)

This notice is published in accordance with Article 17(5) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33 (1).

COMMUNICATION OF APPROVAL OF A STANDARD AMENDMENT

‘Gard’

PGI-FR-A1130-AM01

Date of communication: 26 November 2019

DESCRIPTION OF AND REASONS FOR THE APPROVED AMENDMENT

1.   Organoleptic description of the products

Chapter I, point 3.3 of the product specification for ‘Gard’ PGI has been amended by adding details to the organoleptic description of the red, rosé and white wines.

The same details have been added in the ‘Description of the wine(s)’ section of the single document.

2.   Vine varieties

The specification has been amended by adding nine varieties to the list of varieties that may be used to produce ‘Gard’ PGI wines. These varieties are considered resistant to drought and cryptogamic diseases. They are similar to the varieties currently used in the production of ‘Gard’ PGI wines, but allow the use of plant protection products to be reduced. They do not affect the characteristics of the wines.

These varieties are: Artaban N, Cabernet Blanc B, Cabernet Cortis N, Floreal B, Muscaris B, Soreli B, Souvignier Gris B, Vidoc N and Voltis B.

3.   Editorial change

Chapter I, point 4.2 of the specification for ‘Gard’ PGI wines has been updated with regard to how the area in immediate proximity is presented. The area was presented in terms of departments bordering the geographical area, but is now presented as a list of the relevant municipalities, which have not changed. The list of municipalities has been drawn up in accordance with the 2019 geographical code, which is the national reference.

The single document has also been updated with the list of municipalities that make up the area in immediate vicinity, under ‘Additional conditions’.

Furthermore, the inspection body details have been updated.

Organoleptic description of the red wines

The red wines are usually made from a combination of traditional Mediterranean grape varieties (Carignan, Grenache, Cinsault) and well-known international ones such as Merlot, Cabernet-Sauvignon and Syrah. Their colour ranges from ruby red to deep garnet, sometimes with purple tints. On the nose the wines are complex, expressive and fine with hints of red fruit, sometimes with spicy notes on the second nose. On the palate they are characterised by their elegance and aromatic strength and by tannic structures that vary according to the winemaking techniques used.

Most of the wines are enjoyed young, and the winemaking techniques used are therefore based on gentle extraction and close temperature control.

Organoleptic description of the rosé wines

The rosé wines are made mainly from the Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah varieties, either as single-variety or as blended wines. They range from pale pink to salmon pink in colour. They are subtle on the nose, with aromas of small red fruit or exotic fruit. On the palate they are tender, velvety and round with a characteristic freshness.

Most of the wines are enjoyed young, and the winemaking techniques used are therefore based on gentle extraction and close temperature control.

Organoleptic description of the white wines

The white wines are also single-variety or blended, with Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Viognier B as the main varieties. They are clear, golden yellow in colour with green tints. The wines are characterised by aromas predominantly of white flesh fruits and citrus fruits. The palate attack is smooth, delicate and fine and the opening bouquet is dense, generous and round, punctuated with a noble acidity that adds freshness. They are lively and balanced wines with a nice freshness in the mouth.

Most of the wines are enjoyed young, and the winemaking techniques used are therefore based on gentle extraction and close temperature control.

8.   Description of the link(s)

The geographical area of this PGI covers the entire department of Gard in the Languedoc-Roussillon area in southern France. The area is geographically varied and comprises three main parts, each with its own winegrowing area: the Cévennes in the Massif Central foothills, a large area of limestone garrigue, and finally a plain stretching as far as the Camargue.

Its Mediterranean climate, particularly suited to growing vines, is characterised by hot and dry summers and by rainy periods, particularly in the autumn when violent storms known as ‘Cévenol episodes’ bring torrential rains. The wind patterns are characterised by an alternation between sea winds that favour the maturing of the vine in the summer and the generally violent and dry northerly wind known as ‘mistral’. Precipitation levels are close to 500 mm on the seaboard and may exceed 800 mm inland.

To the east the area borders the Gardon or Gard river that gave the department its name. Although it dates back to ancient times, it was only in the Roman era that winegrowing took root here, when a road network and farming structures were established and world-famous monuments were built, such as the Pont du Gard aqueduct bridge and the Arena of Nîmes amphitheatre.

In the 19th century, winegrowing expanded as the railways were developed. It was the first winegrowing area in France to by struck by phylloxera. The winegrowers reacted quickly to the plague by replanting their vines in areas that could be flooded and on sandy soil by the sea.

Having learnt its lessons from this, Gard has a large number of nurseries across its territory, and clones of all French vine varieties are kept in a collection at the Espiguette wine estate. These various factors soon contributed to the emergence of quality wines under the Gard PGI that stand out for their originality and are sought after by the consumer.

In 1964 they were given ‘vin de canton’ status, and in 1968 they were recognised as ‘vins de pays’ by a decree setting out specific quality criteria (varieties allowed, natural alcohol content). Gard PGI is produced as red, rosé and white wines, with the rosé wines currently accounting for almost 40 % of production after some years of strong growth. In 2010 some 300 000 hectolitres were produced, and the wine is sold across France. The wines can be made from a single grape variety, but are usually made from a blend of traditional Mediterranean varieties and well-known international varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet-Sauvignon, Syrah, Chardonnay and Sauvignon. Favourable soil and climate conditions along with the wide range of vine varieties used, which includes early as well as late varieties, ensure that the grapes ripen well. Having invested extensively in their wineries, including in extraction equipment and means of fermentation temperature control, the winegrowers are able to produce wines that are very much in demand among consumers.

The red wines are characterised by a balanced structure and mild tannins.

The rosé and white wines are processed so as to preserve their freshness and delicate aromas. A crossing point between the Rhône valley and the Mediterranean shores, a meeting place between Languedoc and Provence, a place of tradition known as much for its olive groves as for its vineyards, Gard is proud of its many cultural riches, which include a bullfighting tradition and festivals known as ‘Féria’.

The winegrowers have managed to adapt to soil and weather conditions that vary considerably from Cévennes to the Pont du Gard to Camargue, by replanting virtually all vineyards with the most suitable vine varieties, thus ensuring the production of wines sought after by the consumer. Most of the wines are sold young and have a sensory and aromatic profile that is highly appreciated, not least by tourists visiting the area.

All these developments, both economic and technical, contribute to the reputation of Gard PGI wines, promote the development of wine tourism and help preserve the region’s wine landscape.
