On 9 April 2015 the European Commission published new EU rules for a new scheme of authorisations for vine plantings, allowing for a yearly limited expansion in the EU's wine area.

As agreed in the 2013 Common Agricultural Policy reform, the new scheme will apply from 1 January 2016, replacing the transitional planting rights regime.
