The legal services and institutional office mainly provides support and assistance to members in regard to meeting the standards and following the bureaucratic procedures required for grape/wine production and product marketing. It also provides members with legal consultation on specific problems. For these purposes it keeps track of standard updating by systematically monitoring the sources of, and defining the interpretative criteria for, standards, their possible applications and relative procedures. The work done by this office entails constant contact and exchanges of information with standardization boards and public institutions like ministries, regions, provinces, customs offices, the anti-fraud squad and chambers of commerce in order to correctly define procedures and provisions.
Special attention is given to assisting members applying for government aid, as well as to all the legal and procedural aspects of financing projects set up by the Consortium itself.
