WINE, CASTIGLIONE: E.U. TO STOP AGREEMENT WITH AUSTRALIA
(AGI) - Palermo, Italy, July 26 - Two questions, one at the EU Council and one at the EU Commission, to ask to freeze the bilateral agreement on wine between the EU and Australia. The questions will be presented by Forza Italia spokesman at the EU parliament, and member of the Agriculture Committee, Giuseppe Castiglione. With the EU COuncil's approval of the agreement, Australian wines would enjoy several benefits. "The wine project between EU and Australia, which already is the main exporter of wine to the EU, entails further benefits for Australian wines, thus damaging our wine producers more - he said, fearing mostly for the Trapani province, which alone produces 70 pct of Sicilian wines. According to Castiglione, the agreement can be resumed "only once the impact it would have on the European market is accurately assessed". (AGI) .
