Parliamentary questions
16 July 2012
P-007126/2012
Question for written answer
to the Commission
Rule 117
Sergio Paolo Francesco Silvestris (PPE)

 Subject: Derogation for making prosecco and spumante sparkling wines
 Answer(s) 

Under Regulation (EC) 607/2009 (Article 6, paragraph 4) sparkling wines and semi-sparkling wines must not be carbonated outside the protected geographical indication region.

Can the Commission say whether it can grant an exemption (derogation) under this EU regulation so that sparkling and semi-sparkling wines that are taken over, by 31 December 2012, by processing firms outside the indicated geographical region (for the purpose of carbonating the wines even after 31 December 2012) may retain their PGI status?
