2. GEOGRAPHICAL ENVIRONMENT

Lebanon is situated on the eastern side of the Mediterranean basin, between the 33°‐ 35° parallel (north) and the 35°‐37° parallel (east). Its frontiers (borders) are: ‐ Syria (with which it has a 375‐km long border) to the north and east ‐ Israel (with which it has an 80 – km. long border) to the south; ‐ The Mediterranean Sea (on which it has a 250‐km long coast) to the west. Lebanon has a surface of 10,452 sq. meters. It has a diversified geography, which is spread on: ‐ 2 large plains: The coastal plain and the famous Bekaa plain. ‐ 2 long mountain chains: Mount Lebanon (highest summit 3,083 m) and the Anti Liban chain (highest summit 2,814 m). Lebanon is rich in water. There are more than 15 rivers, the biggest of which, the Litani river, is 160 km. long. The climate is pleasant and moderate, characterized by relatively smaller variations of temperature, long periods of sunshine (approx. 300 days/year) and relatively abundant rainfall in a short period of the year (from November to March). In winter season, snow falls in mountain areas, and skiing is practiced in several resorts. In summer season, hot temperatures in coastal areas are ideal for swimming and beach sports, while moderate temperatures in mountain areas favour summering activities.

3. POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT

Lebanon is an independent and sovereign State. Lebanon is also a democratic, parliamentary, multi‐party, Republic. The Lebanese Constitution (established in 1926, amended in 1989) guarantees, among other fundamental rights, individual liberty, liberty of thought, liberty of religion, as well as propriety. Legislative power belongs to an elected 128‐member parliament, with new elections held every four years. Executive power belongs to the President of the Republic, elected by the Lebanese parliament for a period of six years, and to the Council of Ministers. Judiciary power belongs to the different tribunals and courts. The Lebanese Constitution was amended by the Taif Agreement, a new national charter voted by the Parliament on 30 September 1989, which sealed national reconciliation, and which put an end to the state of war prevailing from 1975 in the country. The Taif Agreement has provided for a large number of changes in the way Lebanon is administered, in the framework of a reform plan destined to correct social imbalances in the country and secure political stability.

5. SOCIO‐ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

Lebanon has a liberal free market economy. The Lebanese economy is mostly dominated by the private sector, and by free enterprise. There has never been an exchange control in Lebanon. Since the end of the state of war and the reunification of the country in 1990, many important economic developments have taken place, among which the following main developments: ‐ The stabilization of the national currency ‐ The control of inflation rate, which has been reduced to less than 5% ‐ The modernization and enlargement of Rafic Hariri International Airport (formerly Beirut International Airport), which has become one of the best airports in the Middle East ‐ The execution of large modernization and upgrading works on the physical infrastructure (roads, electricity, telecommunications, water, sewage, etc.), and the enlargement of this infrastructure ‐ The execution of Solidere Sal’s ambitious and unique project for the reconstruction and development of Beirut City Centre which resulted in a central zone with a state‐of‐the art infrastructure, architecture, facilities and features ‐ The voting and implementation of new laws for the promotion of investments in the country, particularly law number 360 dated 16/8/2001 ‐ The creation of official institutions for the promotion and development of investments, particularly Investment Development Authority of Lebanon (IDAL) and the establishment for the Guarantee of Investments ‐ The signing of several international agreements for the opening of foreign markets to Lebanese products ‐ The implementation of the Value Added Tax (VAT) ‐ The enlargement of the income tax base and the strengthening of income tax collection

14


However, economic conditions remain largely affected by a number of structural and fundamental problems, mainly by the budget deficit, the internal public debt and the deficit of the trade balance, as well as by the still unstable and uncertain local and regional situation. Economic conditions remain also affected by the relative weakness of the purchasing power of the population, as shown in the following tables containing a distribution of the population’s income. However, in parallel with the improvement in the political situation in the country, a significant improvement in socio‐economic conditions has taken place as from the second half of the year 2008. There is a strong belief among local, regional and international economic circles that Lebanon may be heading towards an era of economic growth and prosperity, following the conclusion of the Doha agreement in April 2008, which ended a period of 3 years of political turmoil and subsequent economic problems, the election of H.E. the President of the Lebanese Republic in May 2008, the election of the Parliament in 7 June 2009 and the constitution of the present Council of Ministers in 10 November 2009.

This law regulates the sector, and builds for the establishment of the "Institute of Wine and Vine." ‐Institute of Wine and Vine was born to provide clear answers to the European Union questions concerning the export of wine to European markets. ‐ Lebanon exports twice quantity of the imported wine bottles, equivalent to 38% of its local production, note that the volume of exportation continues to increase. ‐In order to be exported to the international markets, the Lebanese wine is subject to a governmental laboratory analysis before its certification by an independent institution under the Ministry of Agriculture control. This new form is similar to a visa that allows the importers to obtain information about certified wine components. ‐There is a trade agreement between Lebanon and the European Union dated on March 1st. 2003, which takes into consideration the free movement of goods and products, especially the free exchange of industrial and agricultural goods in both directions. ‐The agreement will reduce tariffs on imports between the EU and Lebanon, and the Lebanese wine is not subject to any customs duties upon entering the European market. ‐ It is expected to decrease the tax on the European high‐quality wine from 70 to 35% and on normal wine from 70 to 56%. It is also expected to be exempt regardless of the European wine quality from duties customs in the course of the year 2013.

GENERAL VIEW ON WINE OF LEBANON ‐ Lebanon is one of the oldest sites of wine production in the world. ‐ Wine making tradition in Lebanon dating back 5,000 years the Phoenicians were tending vineyards, making wine and trading with other major cities long before the Greeks and Romans. ‐ There is a French influence on the country culture which appears in the grape varieties like: Cinsaut, Carignan, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Mourvedre, Grenache and Syrah. ‐ Although today in the vine production tradition, Lebanon owns its existence to Christian’s communities that kept some vineyards in this area. Wine acquired by the Jesuits Fathers in 1857, perpetuated the tradition of winemaking. Applying what they knew, they produced Lebanon’s first dry red wine and in doing so, laid the foundations of Lebanon’s modern wine industry. New varietals were cultivated all over vineyards. Nowadays, Lebanese wine has 90% of its vineyards production as noble grapes.

‐ Lebanon has 300 days of sunshine a year, and enjoys a good wine industry for exportation.

‐ Lebanese community living throughout the world imports the Lebanese wine.

Total $ 90.022,00 14561 At the moment, the supply of Argentinean wines is very limited, although it has been a steady increase in the last year, following the devaluation of the Euro against the dollar. Thus, exports during month of September 2010 reached U.S. $ 28,116 making Argentina the fifth supplier of wine to Lebanon. However and in order to achieve sustained, long‐term presence and the integration into the Lebanese market, Argentinean wine should continue with trade promotion activities including an aggressive advertisement, publicity, exhibitions, tasting, etc. As an example, Argentinean wines Chardonnay Espiritu de Argentina, Malbec Espiritu de Argentina Reserva and Bacan Malbec are sold respectively with prices of 14, 22, and 36 dollars per bottle.
