THE LABELLING AND PACKAGING OF WINE 197 Regulation (EU) 2019/33 of 17 October 201827, having regard to the abovementioned Regulation 1308/2013, acknowledged, among other, that rules of procedure concerning DOs and GIs in the wine sector were inconsistent with the rules applicable to quality schemes in the foodstuffs, spirit drinks and aromatised wines sectors of Union law.

These are supposed to be modelled, as far as possible, on the efficient and well-tested procedures for protecting intellectual property rights relating to agricultural products and foodstuffs laid down in Regulations No 1151/201228, No 664/201429 and No 668/201430, and adapted to take account of the specificities of the wine sector. 2.1.
