Brussels, 10/09/2002 (Agence Europe) - France's Pernod Ricard (which markets the famous Polish vodka Wyborowa, having bought the brandname in 1999), has sent a letter to Enlargement Commissioner Günter Verheugen expressing concern at a draft law that might be approved this week by the Polish government, that the company believes would contravene EU legislation on defining and describing spirits. Pernod Ricard argues that law stipulates that brandnames for spirits legally registered in Poland (Wyborowa, for example) will become generic sub-categories that can be freely produced without restriction. In its letter to Verheugen, the company laments that this would mean that anybody in Poland could produce vodka and call it Wyborowa Vodka, making a mockery of the gains to be had by legally holding brandnames. In the letter, it calls on the Commission to take measures to ensure that the Polish legal process does not conclude with such a regrettable outcome.
