"Mr President, this September sees the 250th anniversary of the Douro wine region in Portugal, Europe's first wine region to be created and regulated. This anniversary is particularly relevant at a time when the Commission is preparing further reform of the common organisation of the market in wine, with a view to gradually dismantling it. Wine production in the United States, South Africa and wherever else must not be called port wine. It is appalling to destroy a regulation that has been in existence for 250 years. The quality of port wine is the result of all of the know-how accumulated by the people of the Douro, who, with the aid of a particular climate and sunshine, have, over the course of 250 years on the banks of the River Douro, where this ancient regulated wine region is located, built up a rich heritage that has been recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we therefore ask for your help to preserve and promote this important cultural heritage of winemaking."@en1
