". I wish to ask the Commission the following questions: Assuming that there has been surplus wine production since the 1970s, following 20 years of under-production, which at world level is unclear, why, then, import 12 million hectolitres every year from countries such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Argentina? If, on the pretext of surplus production, my region of Languedoc-Roussillon has to carry out a programme of grubbing up, why import 12 million hectolitres – the exact equivalent of 15 million hectolitres produced in Languedoc-Roussillon – from countries outside the EU? If there is surplus production, why does Brussels want to authorise must imports from third countries, in order to make flat-pack ‘Ikea wines’? If there is surplus production, why seek to authorise the US practice of adding 7% of water to wine? Why seek to grub up vineyards on our territory when Chile, Australia and the vineyards of the 33rd parallel are planting? ‘When China has drunk too much’, who will give it wine to drink if we grub up vineyards? Of the 400 000 hectares, or 4 billion m2, that have been grubbed up, does the Commission not envisage planting 4 million villas with a real estate value of EUR 100 billion?"@en1
