*OIV announces on Twitter:*

 We offer warm congratulations to John Barker [on his election](https://urlsand.esvalabs.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fivs.org%3Fmailpoet_router%26endpoint%3Dtrack%26action%3Dclick%26data%3DWyIxMTIiLCJjZTk3YzgiLCI3MzIiLCIyNjBmZDExYjBlYmYiLGZhbHNlXQ&e=c9f358ba&h=42844e3a&f=n&p=y) as the next OIV Director-General during the 21st OIV General Assembly on 09 June 2023.

 We would also like to thank the current Director-General, Pau Roca, for his dedicated service and on a job well-done.

 John's mandate will begin in January 2024, the “International Year of Vine and Wine,” when the OIV will celebrate its hundredth anniversary!
