On Tuesday the junta de Andalucía finally approved
a new decree giving the green light to the calling of elections in the 29 Consejos
Reguladores of Andalucía. These are normally held every four years, but despite
an eighteen month delay this will continue. Also each Consejo will have to elect
a president and propose their name to the Junta. The elections in Jerez will
probably take place in May or June.

There are some changes in the rules, one of the
principal ones being that bodegas which also own vineyard can no longer
represent themselves as growers and
bodegas at the Consejo, as they have done hitherto. From now on they can only
represent their principal activity, a
measure by which the Junta hopes to achieve more equality of representation between
the different sectors of the trade and minority interests. On behalf of the bodegas Fedejerez had
lobbied unsuccessfully against this.
