The Junta knows that sooner or later the
majority will have its way, and the majority in Jerez is against BIB for use in
horeca or otherwise as has been clearly demonstrated three times at the Consejo.
But the Junta will take its time in replying to the proposal to modify the text
of the regulations in support of glass as the only authorised container which
vetoes BIB without even mentioning it.
The Junta has written to the Consejo asking for
sound technical reasons justifying the proposal to insist on glass. Given that
BIB is hygienically sound, the question of image will no doubt surface – the bad
image projected by the most basic BIBs used by the Sanlúcar rebels. Once the
Junta receives a reply from the Consejo, and given that it accepts the
proposal, it will be made public via official bulletins thus opening a period
for argument.

Without any doubt the rebels will present
theirs which the Junta will have to deal with as quickly as possible, but which
could delay things indefinitely, as happened when Fedejerez presented arguments
about the draft decree for elections to the Consejos Reguladores in Andalucía,
delaying them for nine months. There is yet another step which the Junta has
decided to take, but which the Consejo considers unnecessary. According to
sources in the Junta, Brussels will be consulted on the proposal to ensure that
the change of text works and that it would not interfere with EU rules. Once
all these hurdles have been cleared the Junta will be disposed to give the
green light to the change of text, but would prefer to postpone it till after
the Consejo elections scheduled for the end of April-beginning of May.
