OIV Strategic Plan 2009-2012
Adopted by the OIV Extraordinary General
Assemblyon 24 October 2008

• Vision
• To be the world scientific and technical
  reference organisation on vine and wine.
• Mission
• In full accordance with the missions referred to
  at Article 2.2 of the Agreement of 3 April 2001
  and in order to achieve its vision, the OIV will
  foster an environment that is conducive to
  scientific and technical innovation, the
  dissemination of the results thereof and the
  development of the international vitivinicultural
  sector. It will promote, through its
  recommendations, international standards and
  guidelines, harmonisation and the sharing of
  information, and sound science-based knowledge,
  in order to enhance productivity, product safety
  and quality and the conditions for producing and
  marketing vine and wine products.

OIV Strategic Plan 2009-2012
The 15 strategic axes of the Plan 2009-2012
1 - STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SECTOR In
accordance with the objectives of the Agreement
of 3 April 2001, the OIV shall inform its
members of measures whereby the concerns of
producers, consumers and other players in the
vine and wine products sector may be taken into
consideration Accord Article 2.1a through
activities initiated by the OIV and those
activities the OIV collaborates with,
particularly in the analysis of the structure of
the sector, its development and economic impacts
2005-2008 framework 2 - ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF
THE SECTOR The OIV, within the framework of its
competence and in order to inform its members of
measures whereby the concerns of producers,
consumers and other players in the vine and wine
products sector may be taken into consideration
Accord Article 2.1a the "Economy and Law"
commission shall be more particularly responsible
for dealing with all legal, regulatory economic
and socio-economic matters related to products as
set out in the Agreement of 3 April 2001. Within
this framework, the OIV shall draft
recommendations and shall follow-up the
application in liaison with its members,
particularly in the fields concerning conditions
of viticulture production. IRP Article 10
26
OIV Strategic Plan 2009-2012
3 - VITIVINICULTURE BIOPHYSICAL, ECONOMIC AND
SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTS In Resolution Viti 1/2003
the OIV considers that the following points are
of crucial importance and that they should be
developed in an urgent fashion precision
viticulture, genetic diversity and biodiversity,
conservation of the environment and soil
characteristics, sensory analysis of quality
linked to the type of grape or wine, the
evaluation of the effects of cultivation
techniques concerning qualitative, health and
social requirements, knowledge and stimulation of
the grapevines natural bio-defences against
parasites while respecting the eco-physiological
balance. 4 - SUSTAINABLE VITIVINICULTURE,
INTEGRATED PRODUCTION, AND ORGANIC PRODUCTION In
resolutions CST 1/2004 and CST 1/2008 the OIV
recommends that the programme related to the
development of sustainable vitiviniculture be
integrated in the Strategic plan of the OIV as a
priority issue and that these works be pursued in
collaboration with the concerned expert groups of
the OIV. This is in view of drafting a guide to
develop different orientations and the setting up
of general principles as defined in the said
resolution for different specific vine products
table grapes, raisins, grape juice, vinegar and
spirits. 5 - CLIMATE CHANGE AND
VITIVINICULTURE In accordance with the actions
of Strategic Plan 2005-2008 (action 8.8), the OIV
shall analyse the effects of climate change on
bio-aggressors, grape production, the composition
and types of vine products and the socio-economic
aspects.. Accord Article 2f
27
OIV Strategic Plan 2009-2012
6 - GREENHOUSE EFFECT CARBON DIOXYDE
BALANCE The ratification of the Kyoto protocol
in 2004 highlighted the importance of the carbon
balance concept to be used to measure and reduce
the impact of human activity on greenhouse gas
emissions. The OIV shall monitor, evaluate and
inform its members in good time of scientific or
technical developments likely to have
significant and lasting effects on the wine
sector Accord Article 2f 7 - BIODIVERSITY AND
GENETIC RESOURCES The OIV, in accordance with
its objectives, shall submit to its members all
proposals, particularly concerning the improving
of scientific and technical criteria for
recognising and protecting new vitivinicultural
plant varieties Agreement of Article 2c and
preserving the identity of pre-existing
varieties. The "Viticulture" commission shall be
more particularly responsible for all matters
relating to vines and vine growing, grapes and
other unfermented vine products in addition to
relations between vineyards, grapes and the
environment. IRP Article 10 8 - REGULATION AND
IMPACT OF BIOTECHNOLOGIES In Resolution Viti
1/2006, the General Assembly recommends that the
OIV collate existing research on the vine genome
and genetically modified varieties and that the
OIV present the findings of that literature
review to the Membership. The General Assembly
recognises the need to progress in studies, which
are focused on a complete knowledge of the genus
Vitis genome. In anticipation of obtaining
genetically modified plants, compared to the
initial variety/clone, all changes in
characteristics caused by genetic modification
must be clearly described (including
transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics
studies as well as any new methods developed, as
appropriate).
28
OIV Strategic Plan 2009-2012
9 - OENOLOGICAL PRACTICES AND TECHNIQUES The
