". − We vote against the report and the Commission proposal for the following reasons: We had hoped that the reform would mean a saving for the Union’s taxpayers and that the wine industry would be decoupled from financing through the common agricultural policy. In the long term, we think that Community subsidies for European wine manufacturing financed by taxes must cease. We think that it is reprehensible to use taxpayers’ money in order to market European wines. It is in conflict with Parliament’s alcohol strategy, which promotes a restrictive view on the marketing of alcoholic beverages. In that context, to increase spending on marketing measures is an unfortunate reflection of double standards. We are also opposed to the proposals which advocate the use of European taxpayers’ money to market wines in third countries. We think that caution should be exercised in the marketing of European wines, particularly in developing countries, since it poses the risk of stifling domestic industries. The Union should not undermine local producers in developing countries but, instead, support them."@en1
