The European Commission (EC) has extended the authorization for planting and replanting of vineyards in EU countries affected by adverse weather conditions such as drought and excessive rainfall, which were reported by Spain and Italy, and France and Italy respectively. The extension will allow these countries to define the wine-growing regions affected by these phenomena. Additionally, the regulation provides exemptions for producers in regions affected by adverse weather and meteorological phenomena in the spring of 2024, requiring Member States to report their benefit from these exemptions by March 31, 2025.
