ã OIV 2012

1 - STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SECTOR

In accordance with the objectives of the Agreement of 3 April 2001, the OIV shall inform its members of measures whereby the concerns of producers, consumers and other players in the vine and wine products sector may be taken into consideration [Accord Article 2.1a] through activities initiated by the OIV and those activities the OIV collaborates with, particularly in the analysis of the structure of the sector, its development and economic impacts [2005-2008 framework]

2 - ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE SECTOR

The OIV, within the framework of its competence and in order to inform its members of measures whereby the concerns of producers, consumers and other players in the vine and wine products sector may be taken into consideration [Accord Article 2.1a] the "Economy and Law" commission shall be more particularly responsible for dealing with all legal, regulatory; economic and socio-economic matters related to products as set out in the Agreement of 3 April 2001. Within this framework, the OIV shall draft recommendations and shall follow-up the application in liaison with its members, particularly in the fields concerning conditions of viticulture production. [IRP Article 10]

OIV Strategic Plan 2012-2014

The 15 strategic axes of the Plan 2012-2014

ã OIV 2012

3 - VITIVINICULTURE BIOPHYSICAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTS

In Resolution Viti 1/2003 the OIV considers that the following points are of crucial importance and that they should be developed in an urgent fashion: precision viticulture, genetic diversity and biodiversity, conservation of the environment and soil characteristics, sensory analysis of quality linked to the type of grape or wine, the evaluation of the effects of cultivation techniques concerning qualitative, health and social requirements, knowledge and stimulation of the grapevine’s natural bio-defences against parasites while respecting the eco-physiological balance.

4 - SUSTAINABLE VITIVINICULTURE, INTEGRATED PRODUCTION, AND ORGANIC PRODUCTION

In resolutions CST 1/2004 and CST 1/2008 the OIV recommends that the programme related to the development of sustainable vitiviniculture be integrated in the Strategic plan of the OIV as a priority issue and that these works be pursued in collaboration with the concerned expert groups of the OIV. This is in view of drafting a guide to develop different orientations and the setting up of general principles as defined in the said resolution for different specific vine products: table grapes, raisins, grape juice, vinegar and spirits.

5 - CLIMATE CHANGE AND VITIVINICULTURE

In accordance with the actions of Strategic Plan 2005-2008 (action 8.8), the OIV shall analyse the effects of climate change on: bio-aggressors, grape production, the composition and types of vine products and the socio-economic aspects.. [Accord Article 2f]

OIV Strategic Plan 2012-2014

ã OIV 2012

6 - GREENHOUSE EFFECT: CARBON DIOXYDE BALANCE

The ratification of the Kyoto protocol in 2004 highlighted the importance of the carbon balance concept to be used to measure and reduce the impact of human activity on greenhouse gas emissions. The OIV shall monitor, evaluate and inform its members in good time of scientific or technical developments likely to have significant and lasting effects on the wine sector [Accord Article 2f]

7 - BIODIVERSITY AND GENETIC RESOURCES

The OIV, in accordance with its objectives, shall submit to its members all proposals, particularly concerning the improving of scientific and technical criteria for recognising and protecting new vitivinicultural plant varieties [Agreement of Article 2c] and preserving the identity of pre-existing varieties. The "Viticulture" commission shall be more particularly responsible for all matters relating to vines and vine growing, grapes and other unfermented vine products in addition to relations between vineyards, grapes and the environment. [IRP Article 10]

8 - REGULATION AND IMPACT OF BIOTECHNOLOGIES

In Resolution Viti 1/2006, the General Assembly recommends that the OIV collate existing research on the vine genome and genetically modified varieties and that the OIV present the findings of that literature review to the Membership. The General Assembly recognises the need to progress in studies, which are focused on a complete knowledge of the genus Vitis genome. In anticipation of obtaining genetically modified plants, compared to the initial variety/clone, all changes in characteristics caused by genetic modification must be clearly described (including transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics studies as well as any new methods developed, as appropriate).
