London, May 21 (EFE).- The elimination of “unnecessary bureaucracy” derived from regulations inherited from the European Union (EU) will give a boost valued at 180 million pounds (207 million euros) to the UK wine industry Kingdom, “opening new products to the market and growing the economy”.
This is indicated today by the British Ministry of the Environment (Defra) in a statement in which it states that the country’s wine producers and importers “will be freed from unnecessary bureaucracy” thanks to the proposed reforms regarding community legislation on production and marketing of wine.
According to this, the changes that are included in a draft Law on retained legislation of the European Union (EU) will allow wine producers “the freedom to choose among a wide range of vines, such as varieties that are more resistant to diseases” and ” repeal the restrictions that currently prevent the wine industry from producing new blends”.
The Executive’s note also highlights that bottlers will be able to “convert imported wine into sparkling wine” and notes that the proposed changes will also include “the elimination of expensive and cumbersome packaging requirements.”
The country’s winemakers will be freed from having to submit to “laborious application processes, previously required by community regulations.”
The reforms are made possible by virtue of the powers contained in the aforementioned European Union (EU) Retained Legislation bill, used to remove restrictions on the British economy while ensuring that high standards are not compromised.
The Minister of Food and Drinks of this country, Thérèse Coffey, affirms in the note that this country “has more than 800 vineyards that are prospering and with hundreds of millions of pounds of wine trade that pass through British ports every year “.
“But for too long our growers have been held back by cumbersome regulations inherited from the EU. We are going to give them the freedom they deserve to thrive,” he laments.
He said the reforms will boost the business of winemakers, “growing the economy, creating jobs and supporting a vital part of the food and beverage sector.”
The Minister for Business and Commerce, Kemi Badenoch, also points out that “unnecessary bureaucracy paralyzes innovation and growth.”
“Now that we have regained control of our laws, we can ensure that we work with the best interests of our businesses in mind,” he says. EFE
