ZAGREB, Dec 5 (Hina) - All benches in the Croatian parliament on
Thursday endorsed a bill on wine which they claim will facilitate
the long neglected wine-growing and wine production. #L#
The bill regulates the production, trade and sale of wine, wine
inspection, the registration of vineyards, and penalties for the
sale of doctored wines.
The bill defines wine as a farm-food product and regulates its
marketing.
Both the opposition and the ruling party benches pointed to the
insufficient quantity of wine-growing land, produced and exported
wine.
Most MPs concurred that without bigger support and other
incentives, the wine law would remain an empty word and not improve
the situation in the domestic wine-growing industry.
Croatia produces only five percent of top quality wines, 55 are
quality wines and the rest belong to the 'other wines' category.
