(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 15 - Italy's 20 regions have teamed up in Europe for a united push against Ireland's new proposed wine health warning labels flagging the risk to the liver and links to several types of cancers.
    The delegation to the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) - represented, among others, by governors Marco Marsilio (Abruzzo), Eugenio Giani (Tuscany), Alberto Cirio (Piedmont) and Luca Zaia (Veneto) - formally called for "a debate" on the issue "at the next plenary session" scheduled for 24-25 May in Brussels.
    "We are ready to pursue, in every forum, new initiatives to change this approach at the European level," said the Italian regional and local representatives. (ANSA).
