"Commissioner
I will not hide from you my deep dissatisfaction faced with your attempts to explain away the blending of ‘rosé’ wine.
You offer no answers whatsoever to the wine producers with whom I have had the opportunity to talk at length in Provence, and who have depended upon the quality of their products. They dread seeing 30 years of efforts to establish a reputation for rosé – efforts crowned with real commercial success – completely undone today.
You offer no answers whatsoever to all those who regard the authorisation of blending as a major contradiction of the painful mass grubbing-up policies. It is not by seeking to lower our production costs to any old amount that we will emerge the victors of international competition. Rather, we will achieve this by further improving the reputation of our wines.
You offer no answers whatsoever to all those who tell you that labelling will not suffice, since it will have no effect on bottles of wine referred to as ‘rosé by blending’.
By postponing the decision on authorisation until after the elections of 7 June, you are ultimately playing the Euroscepticism card.
That is why I solemnly ask you to withdraw this harmful draft, which threatens an economy and a culture alike."@en1
