Junta vice president Manuel Jiménez Barrios who recently met the BIB rebels has
appealed for dialogue and says that the confrontation will damage the image of
the DO. He is not keen to take sides but the Junta will help bring the warring
parties together round a table and assist with any dialogue. Only this way will
the problem be solved and the achievements of the last 80 years be preserved.

While the
Junta’s agriculture department is the higher authority, just proposing dialogue
is not enough, and the BIB rebels feel they have some sort of legal support for
launching Manzanilla in BIB. Fedejerez and the Consejo have asked for
clarification of what they consider illegal. The rebels’ interpretation of the
reglamento is that it is legal to sell Manzanilla in BIB to the hotel and
catering trade, but Fedejerez disagrees and hasn’t the slightest intention of
sitting down to discuss what it considers a breach of the rules of the DO.
