The Department of Agriculture, Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment is the competent authority for maintaining the Vineyard Register. This obligation stems from the EU Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and (EU) No 2018/273. All vineyards of wine production are registered in the register, as well as the details of the vine grower.
The entry of incorrect vineyard or vine grower details in the vineyard register is often a reason for refusal to pay aid from the measures of the National Support Programme for the Vine and Wine Sector (NSSP).
Wine growers of wine producing vineyards are invited to revise their contact details by completing the form entitled "Updating the details of the wine grower in the vineyard register". This form is posted on the Department of Agriculture's website (www.moa.gov.cy/da) in the Application Forms, Viticulture and Enology Applications section. Once completed, the form must be delivered by hand to the Department of Viticulture and Oenology, in Limassol or sent by fax to 25877368 or by e-mail to "sstylianou@da.moa.gov.cy"/ "emaronou@da.moa.gov.cy", no later than 02/09/2022.
Every vine grower has the right to request the "Certificate of Registration in the Vineyard Register" in order to verify the correctness of the cadastral and other data registered on his or her vineyard or vineyards and to request their correction through the appropriate procedures.
For further information interested parties may contact the following telephone numbers: 25877396, 25877063.
