The Council and Parliament have reached a first-reading agreement on information provision and promotion measures for agricultural products. This agreement includes the majority of the S&D Group's priorities, such as the inclusion of national quality schemes and single brands in the promotion measures; the so-called ‘basket approach’ which will be applied to simple programmes involving the sale of wine both in internal markets and outside the EU; and co-financing rates starting at 70% for simple programmes on the internal market.
