18 Feb 2016

During an interview with Yann Juban, Assistant to the Director General of the OIV, Eduard Grama recalled the importance that he attaches to the vitivinicultural sector, having managed a renowned winery in Moldova himself.

He praised the good relationship that exists with the OIV and clearly insisted on the need to develop the exchange of expertise with the OIV scientific and technical network.

This strengthened involvement will entail the regular participation of experts and the undertaking of the technical workshops project to the advantage of the Moldovan sector, in cooperation with the National Office for Vine and Wine, as was emphasised by its Director, Mr Dumitru Munteanu, who took part in the meeting.

Yann Juban expressed his satisfaction regarding the organisation of the contest in Chisinau, which fully respected the OIV Patronage regulations and made it possible to see the qualitative evolution of Moldovan vitivinicultural products within the context of investments made in reforming the sector. Modelled on an event that took place at the OIV headquarters several years ago, a project for the presentation of Moldovan wines in Paris was also envisaged with the Minister.
