(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, APRIL 26 - Mobilize exceptional funds to help wine producers.
This is the appeal of all the acronyms of the sector of Italy, France and Spain in a letter sent to the European Commission last night.
The initiative comes on the eve of today's EU Council, which on the agenda also includes a discussion by the agriculture ministers of the Twenty-seven on the market situation.
The April frosts, the letter reads, have worsened a situation that has been compromised by trade tensions between the EU and the US and the consequences of the global Covid-19 crisis, the letter reads. Faced with this situation, "the European Union and the Member States must respond to the challenges and mobilize exceptional funds to help the sector", ask the trade associations of the three main EU producing countries.
