Order No. 2-145 of the Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture on the Approval of the Rules for Cultivating Entrepreneurial Vineyards.

This Ministerial Order approves the official regulations establishing the rules and conditions for planting new entrepreneurial vineyards or executing the restoration and renewal of existing ones. The framework applies to any physical or legal entity intending to engage in these cultivation activities. The regulations mandate that planting, restoration, or renewal operations are permitted exclusively on the basis of prior written consent issued by the LEPL National Wine Agency. To secure this mandatory authorization, applicants must submit a formal request accompanied by proof of land ownership or usage rights, cadastral mapping, a completed agro-technical questionnaire, and a procurement contract or invoice for verified seedlings from a qualified nursery. Additionally, applications for new vineyard establishments must include soil field and laboratory analysis results verifying specific biochemical and physical parameters.
The National Wine Agency is legally required to review submitted documentation and issue its administrative decision, with a provision granting applicants a set timeframe to rectify any identified clerical or evidentiary deficiencies. Following the completion of cultivation or renewal measures, the land operator must submit written notification to initiate mandatory field monitoring via global positioning systems to verify compliance. Failure to obtain prior official consent results in the systematic denial of registration within the national cadastre database, and any grape harvests derived from such unapproved vineyard plots are legally prohibited from being utilized for winemaking purposes.
