lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to take up the issue raised by a previous speaker. The decision taken by the Commission on 20 February amending the description, designation, presentation and protection of certain wine sector products is important because the problem does not just affect Portugal but all European wine-growing areas. This decision merged the two categories with which we protected our highest quality products into a single category indicating quality wines and introduced the possibility for third countries to produce wines using our designations – using equivalent requirements as the only point of reference. In economic terms, this decision is a crisis for the entire European wine sector. At the same time, it also means that we are abandoning a series of quality guarantees to be given to consumers as regards European production. Amongst other aspects, the Commission’s justification – which stresses how this decision was taken to aid talks within the World Trade Organisation – is extremely worrying, because we are continuing to open up Europe to products for which we cannot provide the consumers with guarantees."@en1
