Bulgaria Enhances Cooperation with International Organization of Vine and Wine
Paris, February 22 (BTA) - In Paris, Bulgarian Agriculture and
Food Minister Desislava Taneva and International Organization of
Vine and Wine (OIV) Director General Jean-Marie Aurand
discussed opportunities for the enhancement of bilateral
cooperation, Taneva's Ministry said in a press release on
Sunday.
On Saturday, the Minister unveiled the Bulgarian stand at the
international agricultural exhibition Salon International de
l'Agriculture (SIA) in Paris.
Taneva stressed the importance and the need to strengthen
Bulgarian vine and wine expertise within the framework of the
Rural Development Programme 2014-2020 and especially concerning
dessert grapes and autochthonous grape varieties. The sides can
also be partners in two other priority lines: organizing a
scientific and technological forum in Bulgaria and including the
Bulgarian academic and professional sector in the OIV MSc in
Wine Management.
At the talks, Aurand stressed the participation in the
Organization's work by Bulgaria's Executive Agency on Vine and
Wine, represented by its Director, Krassimir Koev, and pointed
out that the Agency's activity enables Bulgaria to rank among
the leading viniviticultural countries in the Black Sea region.
Bulgaria confirmed its intentions to organize a presentation of
its wines in connection with the exhibition of Thracian
treasures from Bulgaria at the Louvre in Paris in spring 2015.
