Adopted 426–119–40 · by a large majority - Amending regulations on agricultural products as regards market rules and sectoral support measures in the wine sector and for aromatised wine products

The law aims to tackle the wine sector's structural crisis, including oversupply and falling consumption, with tools such as voluntary grubbing-up and distillation. Parliament's amendments add crisis measures to national strategic plans, allow fund carry-over, and harmonise electronic labelling. The position now goes to the Council for agreement before the law is finalised.
