Brussels, 12th March 2018 - The European associations representing the alcoholic beverage' sector have presented today to European Health Commissioner Andriukaitis their proposal for a self-regulation to give consumers clear information about the ingredients and nutritional content of alcoholic drinks. The wine sector has worked collectively and constructively to address this challenge, and commits, through an ambitious and modern approach, to providing information to consumers in an adapted way.
The European Wine sector, represented by CEEV, CEVI, Copa and Cogeca and EFOW, has taken up the self-regulation challenge and has presented today to Commissioner Andriukaitis an innovative and dynamic proposal. Confronted with the specificities of both the product and the sector, the EU wine sector has come up with a modern solution that fulfils a two-fold objective namely to properly inform consumers about the product and to allow all actors from the sector, including the smallest ones, to implement such measures.
