lpv:spoken text	". The common organisation of markets in the sugar sector fixes sugar production quotas by Community region. The authorities of the Member States allocate these quotas to their sugar-producing undertakings. It is for each undertaking to decide and organise its production between one or more processing plants according to its own criteria. The fact that an undertaking closes one of its factories and concentrates its production in only one processing plant – as is the case in Ireland – does not modify its quota or decrease its total production. Irish farmers will therefore be able to continue producing the same quantities of sugar beet as before the closure. Concentration and rationalisation of production is a common feature of industrial restructuring and, for sugar, reflects the trend over the last ten years, where the number of factories almost halved within the EU of 15. The quota transfer across Member States was presented by the Commission's communication on the sugar reform in July 2004 to increase the competitiveness of the European sugar sector. It would allow the more competitive undertakings to acquire the quotas of those undertakings that decide to close after the reform, and thus to adjust to the lower price in the market. The inefficient producers would be able to sell the quotas and thereby reap some of the value of the quotas. If nobody is interested in buying the quotas in the same Member State or other Member States, the undertaking can apply for conversion aid, which should help to cover the costs of restoring good environmental conditions for the factory site and of redeploying the labour force. Discussions in the Council and Parliament show very strong concern on the part of a number of Member States and stakeholders with regard to the possibility of trans-national quota transfer. In this connection, the Commission needs to underline that the competitiveness of the European sugar industry has to be increased in order to ensure a sustainable, long-term basis for sugar production within the European Union. Transferring quotas between Member States is one way of ensuring this. Alternative and complementary solutions are not to be ruled out and are also being analysed."@en⁴

Medlemsstaternes myndigheder tildeler disse kvoter til deres sukkerproducerende virksomheder. Det er op til de enkelte virksomheder at fastlægge og organisere deres produktion mellem en eller flere forarbejdningsanlæg i henhold til deres egne kriterier. At en virksomhed lukker en af sine fabrikker og koncentrerer produktionen i et enkelt forarbejdningsanlæg - som det er tilfældet i Irland - ændrer ikke på dens kvote eller mindsker dens samlede produktion. Irske landbrugere vil derfor fortsat kunne producere de samme mængder sukkerroer som før lukningen. Koncentration og rationalisering af produktion er karakteristisk for industriel omstrukturering og afspejler for sukkers vedkommende en tendens gennem de seneste 10 år, hvor antallet af fabrikker næsten er halveret i EU-15. Kvoteoverførsel mellem medlemsstaterne blev forelagt i Kommissionens meddelelse om sukkerreformen i juli 2004 for at forbedre den europæiske sukkersektors konkurrenceevne. Den ville give de mere konkurrencedygtige virksomheder mulighed for at købe kvoter af virksomheder, der beslutter at lukke efter reformen, og dermed for at tilpasse sig til de lavere priser på markedet. De ineffektive producenter ville kunne sælge deres kvoter og dermed få andel i værdien af dem. Hvis ingen er interesseret i at købe kvoterne i den pågældende medlemsstat eller i andre medlemsstater, kan virksomheden søge omstillingsstøtte, som skal bidrage til at dække omkostningerne ved at genetablere fabriksområdets gode miljømæssige tilstand og omskole arbejdsstyrken. Diskussionerne i Rådet og Parlamentet viser, at en række medlemsstater og interessenter er meget bekymrede over muligheden for tværnational kvoteoverførsel. I denne forbindelse skal Kommissionen understrege, at den europæiske sukkerindustris konkurrenceevne skal forbedres for at sikre et bæredygtigt, langsigtet grundlag for sukkerproduktion i EU. Overførsel af kvoter mellem medlemsstaterne er en måde at sikre den på. Alternative og supplerende løsninger skal ikke udelukkes og bliver også undersøgt."@da² ". Die gemeinsame Marktorganisation für den Zuckersektor regelt die Zuckerproduktionsquoten nach Gemeinschaftsregionen. Die Behörden der Mitgliedstaaten teilen dann diese Quoten ihren Zucker produzierenden Unternehmen zu. Es ist dann Aufgabe der einzelnen Unternehmen, die Produktion nach eigenen Kriterien im Rahmen der vorhandenen Anlagen zu organisieren. Die Tatsache, dass ein Unternehmen eine seiner Fabriken schließt und seine Produktion – wie im Falle Irlands – auf eine einzige Anlage konzentriert, ändert nichts an der Quote bzw. stellt keine Senkung der Gesamtproduktion dar. Die irischen Landwirte können daher nach wie vor dieselben Mengen an Zuckerrüben anbauen wie vor der Schließung. Konzentration und Rationalisierung der Produktion sind typische Merkmale der industriellen Umstrukturierung und widerspiegeln im Falle von Zucker eine Tendenz, die sich in den letzten zehn Jahren vollzogen und in EU-15 zur Halbierung der Zahl von Zuckerfabriken geführt hat. In ihrer im Juli 2004 veröffentlichten Mitteilung zur Reformierung des Zuckersektors hatte die Kommission eine Übertragung der Quoten zwischen den Mitgliedstaaten vorgeschlagen, um damit die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit des europäischen Zuckersektors zu erhöhen. Dies würde den wettbewerbsfähigeren Unternehmen gestatten, die Quoten der Unternehmen zu erwerben, die ihren Betrieb nach der Reform einstellen, und ihnen die Möglichkeit geben, sich auf die niedrigeren Marktpreise einzustellen. Ineffiziente Produzenten könnten ihre Quoten verkaufen und damit einen Teil des Wertes der Quoten realisieren. Gibt es im eigenen Mitgliedstaat oder in anderen Mitgliedstaaten keinen Kaufinteressenten für die Quoten, kann das Unternehmen Beihilfe beantragen, um ihm die Wiederherstellung eines guten ökologischen Zustandes des Fabrikgeländes und die Umsetzung der Arbeitskräfte zu erleichtern. Die Diskussionen im Rat und im Parlament machen deutlich, dass einige Mitgliedstaaten und interessierte Kreise beträchtliche Bedenken bezüglich der Möglichkeit der transnationalen Quotenübertragung haben. In diesem Zusammenhang muss die Kommission betonen, dass es gilt, die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der europäischen Zuckerindustrie zu erhöhen, um langfristig eine tragfähige Basis für die Zuckerproduktion in der Europäischen Union zu gewährleisten. Die Übertragung von Quoten zwischen Mitgliedstaaten ist eine Möglichkeit, um dies zu erreichen. Alternative und ergänzende Lösungen können nicht ausgeschlossen werden und werden ebenfalls untersucht."@de⁹ "Η κοινή οργάνωση αγοράς στον τομέα της ζάχαρης ορίζει τις ποσοστώσεις παραγωγής ζάχαρης ανάλογα με την περιοχή της Κοινότητας. Οι αρχές των κρατών μελών κατανέμουν αυτές τις ποσοστώσεις στις εγχώριες επιχειρήσεις παραγωγής ζάχαρης. Εναπόκειται στην κάθε επιχείρηση να αποφασίσει και να οργανώσει την παραγωγή της είτε σε μία ή περισσότερες μονάδες μεταποίησης σύμφωνα με τα δικά της κριτήρια. Το γεγονός ότι μία επιχείρηση κλείνει το ένα από τα εργοστάσιά της και συγκεντρώνει την παραγωγή της σε μόνο μία μονάδα μεταποίησης –όπως στην περίπτωση της Ιρλανδίας– δεν μεταβάλλει τις ποσοστώσεις της ούτε μειώνει τη συνολική της παραγωγή. Ως εκ τούτου, οι ιρλανδοί αγρότες θα είναι σε θέση να συνεχίσουν να παράγουν τις ίδιες ποσότητες ζαχαρότευτλων όπως και πριν το κλείσιμο. Η συγκέντρωση και η οργάνωση της παραγωγής είναι ένα σύνηθες χαρακτηριστικό της βιομηχανικής αναδιάρθρωσης και, όσον αφορά τη ζάχαρη, αντανακλά την τάση των δέκα τελευταίων ετών, κατά τη διάρκεια των οποίων ο αριθμός των εργοστασίων μειώθηκε σχεδόν στο μισό στην Ευρώπη των 15. Η μεταφορά των ποσοστώσεων στα κράτη μέλη παρουσιάστηκε με την ανακοίνωση της Επιτροπής για τη μεταρρύθμιση στον τομέα της ζάχαρης τον Ιούλιο του 2004 ως τρόπος για να αυξηθεί η παραγωγικότητα του ευρωπαϊκού τομέα της ζάχαρης. Θα επέτρεπε στις ανταγωνιστικότερες επιχειρήσεις να αποκτήσουν τις ποσοστώσεις εκείνων των επιχειρήσεων που θα αποφάσιζαν να κλείσουν μετά τη μεταρρύθμιση, και συνεπώς να προσαρμοστούν στη χαμηλότερη τιμή της αγοράς. Οι μη αποδοτικοί παραγωγοί θα μπορούσαν να πουλήσουν τις ποσοστώσεις και με αυτό τον τρόπο να αποκομίσουν μέρος της αξίας των ποσοστώσεων. Εάν κανείς δεν ενδιαφέρεται να αγοράσει τις ποσοστώσεις στο ίδιο κράτος μέλος ή σε άλλα κράτη μέλη, η επιχείρηση μπορεί να υποβάλει αίτηση για ενίσχυση μετατροπής, ούτως ώστε να μπορέσει να καλύψει το κόστος αποκατάστασης της καλής περιβαλλοντικής κατάστασης του χώρου του εργοστασίου και ανακατανομής των εργαζομένων. Από τις συζητήσεις στο Συμβούλιο και το Κοινοβούλιο προκύπτει έντονη ανησυχία εκ μέρους ορισμένων από τα κράτη μέλη και τους ενδιαφερόμενους σε σχέση με τη διακρατική δυνατότητα μεταφοράς των ποσοστώσεων. Σχετικά, η Επιτροπή οφείλει να υπογραμμίσει ότι η ανταγωνιστικότητα της ευρωπαϊκής βιομηχανίας ζάχαρης πρέπει να αυξηθεί προκειμένου να διασφαλίσει μία βιώσιμη, μακροπρόθεσμη βάση για την παραγωγή ζάχαρης εντός της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης. Η μεταφορά ποσοστώσεων μεταξύ των κρατών μελών είναι ένας τρόπος διασφάλισής της. Εναλλακτικές και συμπληρωματικές λύσεις δεν πρόκειται να αποκλεισθούν και αναλύονται επίσης."@el¹⁰ ". La organización común de mercado del sector azucarero establece cuotas de producción de azúcar por región comunitaria. Las autoridades de los Estados miembros asignan estas cuotas a sus empresas productoras de azúcar. A cada empresa le corresponde decidir y organizar su producción entre una o varias plantas de procesado conforme a sus propios criterios. El hecho de que una empresa cierre una de sus factorías y concentre su producción en una única planta de procesado –como sucede en Irlanda– no modifica su cuota ni reduce su producción total. Por lo tanto, los agricultores irlandeses podrán seguir produciendo las mismas cantidades de remolacha azucarera que antes del cierre. La concentración y la racionalización de la producción es una característica común de la reestructuración y, en el caso del azúcar, refleja la tendencia de los últimos diez años, en los que el número de factorías prácticamente se ha reducido a la mitad en la UE de los 15. La transferencia de cuotas entre los Estados miembros se presentó en la comunicación de la Comisión sobre la reforma azucarera en julio de 2004 para aumentar la competitividad del sector azucarero europeo. Esto permitiría a las empresas más competitivas adquirir las cuotas de las empresas que deciden cerrar tras la reforma y así ajustarse al precio más bajo del mercado. Los productores ineficientes también podrían vender las cuotas y de este modo obtener una parte del valor de las mismas. Si nadie está interesado en comprar las cuotas en el mismo Estado miembro o en otro, la empresa puede solicitar una ayuda a la conversión, que debería contribuir a pagar los costes del restablecimientos de buenas condiciones medioambientales en el lugar de la factoría y de la recolocación de los trabajadores. Los debates celebrados en el Consejo y el Parlamento reflejan una gran preocupación por parte de varios Estados miembros y partes interesadas respecto a la posibilidad de transferir cuotas entre países. A este respecto, la Comisión ha de subrayar que la competitividad de la industria azucarera europea debe aumentar con el fin de garantizar una base sostenible a largo plazo para la producción de azúcar dentro de la Unión Europea. La transferencia de cuotas entre Estados miembros es un modo de asegurarlo. No hay que descartar soluciones alternativas y complementarias, que también se están analizando."@es²⁰ "The common organisation of markets in the sugar sector fixes sugar production quotas by Community region.

Sokerialan yhteisellä markkinajärjestelyllä vahvistetaan sokerintuotantokiintiöt alueittain. Jäsenvaltioiden viranomaiset myöntävät nämä kiintiöt sokerialan tuotantoyrityksilleen. Kunkin yrityksen tehtävänä on päättää omasta tuotannostaan ja organisoida sitä yhden tai useamman tuotantolaitoksen kesken omien perusteidensa mukaisesti. Se, että jokin yritys sulkee yhden tehtaistaan ja keskittää tuotantonsa vain yhteen tuotantolaitokseen – kuten Irlannin tapauksessa – ei vaikuta maan kiintiöön tai alenna sen kokonaistuotannon määrää. Irlantilaiset maanviljelijät voivat siten edelleenkin tuottaa saman määrän sokerijuurikkaita kuin ennen tehtaan sulkemista. Tuotannon keskittäminen ja järkeistäminen on yleistä teollisuuden rakenteen uudistamisen yhteydessä, ja sokerialalla se ilmentää kymmenen viime vuoden aikana kehittynyttä suuntausta, sillä 15 jäsenvaltion EU:ssa sokeritehtaiden määrä on lähes puolittunut. Komissio ehdotti heinäkuussa 2004 sokerialan uudistuksesta antamassaan tiedonannossa jäsenvaltioiden välistä kiintiöiden siirtojärjestelmää unionin sokerialan kilpailukyvyn lisäämiseksi. Se sallisi kilpailukykyisempien yritysten ostaa niiden yritysten kiintiöt, jotka päättävät lopettaa toimintansa uudistuksen jälkeen, ja siten mukautua alhaisempiin markkinahintoihin. Tehottomat tuottajat voisivat myydä kiintiönsä ja hyötyä siten jollakin tavoin kiintiöiden arvosta. Jollei kukaan ole kiinnostunut kiintiöiden ostosta samassa tai jossakin toisessa jäsenvaltiossa, yritys voi hakea tuotantosuunnan muuttamiseen tukea, jolla helpotetaan tehdasalueen palauttamista ympäristön kannalta hyvään kuntoon ja henkilöstön uudelleenjärjestelyä. Neuvostossa ja parlamentissa käydyissä keskusteluissa on tuotu esiin muutamia jäsenvaltioita ja asianosaisia koskevia hyvin voimakkaita huolenaiheita, jotka liittyvät kiintiöiden kansainväliseen siirtojärjestelmään. Tässä yhteydessä komission on korostettava, että Euroopan sokerialan kilpailukykyä on parannettava, jotta Euroopan unionissa varmistetaan kestävä, pitkän aikavälin perusta sokerintuotannolle. Eräs tapa varmistaa se on ottaa käyttöön kiintiöiden siirtojärjestelmä jäsenvaltioiden välillä. Vaihtoehtoisia ja täydentäviä ratkaisuja ei ole kuitenkaan suljettu pois, vaan niitä arvioidaan parhaillaan."@fi⁷ ". L’organisation commune de marché dans le secteur du sucre fixe des quotas de production de sucre par région communautaire. Les autorités des États membres répartissent ces quotas entre leurs entreprises productrices de sucre. Il appartient à chaque entreprise de décider et d’organiser sa production, selon ses propres critères, entre une ou plusieurs usines de transformation. Le fait qu’une entreprise ferme l’une de ses usines et concentre sa production sur une seule implantation - comme c’est le cas en Irlande - ne modifie en rien son quota et ne diminue pas sa production totale. Les agriculteurs irlandais pourront donc continuer à produire les mêmes quantités de betteraves à sucre qu’avant la fermeture. La concentration et la rationalisation de la production sont des outils courants de restructuration industrielle et, pour le sucre, cela reflète la tendance des dix dernières années, pendant lesquelles le nombre d’usines a au moins été divisé par deux dans l’UE des Quinze. Le transfert de quotas entre les États membres a été présenté par la communication de la Commission sur la réforme du sucre en juillet 2004 dans le but d’augmenter la compétitivité de la filière sucrière européenne. Cela permettrait aux entreprises les plus compétitives d’acquérir les quotas des entreprises qui décident de fermer après la réforme, et de ce fait de s’ajuster aux prix plus bas du marché. Les producteurs les moins efficaces pourront vendre leurs quotas et récolter ainsi une partie de la valeur de ceux-ci. Si personne n’est intéressé par l’achat de ces quotas, dans le même État membre ou dans d’autres, l’entreprise pourra solliciter une aide à la reconversion qui lui permettra de couvrir les coûts liés à la restauration de bonnes conditions environnementales sur le site de l’usine et au redéploiement de la force de travail. Les discussions au sein du Conseil et du Parlement montrent que de nombreux États membres et parties concernées sont très inquiets des possibilités de transfert transnational des quotas. Dans cette optique, la Commission doit souligner qu’il faut accroître la compétitivité de l’industrie sucrière européenne afin d’assurer, au sein de l’Union européenne, une production durable et viable à long terme. Le transfert des quotas entre les États membres est une façon de s’en assurer. Il ne faut pas exclure des solutions alternatives et complémentaires, qui seront également étudiées."@fr⁸ "The common organisation of markets in the sugar sector fixes sugar production quotas by Community region.

L’organizzazione comune dei mercati nel settore dello zucchero stabilisce i contingenti di produzione dello zucchero per regione comunitaria. Le autorità degli Stati membri ripartiscono tali contingenti tra le loro imprese produttrici di zucchero. Spetta a ciascuna impresa decidere e organizzare la produzione, concentrandola in una fabbrica o suddividendola tra diversi stabilimenti secondo i propri criteri. Il fatto che una società chiuda una delle sue fabbriche e faccia confluire la sua produzione su un’unica unità produttiva – come nel caso dell’Irlanda – non modifica il contingente né riduce la produzione totale. Gli agricoltori irlandesi potranno quindi continuare a produrre la stessa quantità di barbabietola da zucchero che producevano prima della chiusura. La concentrazione e la razionalizzazione della produzione è una caratteristica comune della ristrutturazione industriale e, per lo zucchero, riflette una tendenza degli ultimi dieci anni, durante i quali il numero di unità produttive si è quasi dimezzato in seno all’Unione europea a Quindici. La Commissione ha illustrato il trasferimento di contingenti tra Stati membri nella comunicazione sulla riforma dello zucchero del luglio 2004, al fine di aumentare la competitività del settore zuccheriero europeo. Questo meccanismo consentirebbe alle imprese più competitive di comprare le quote di quelle società che decidono di chiudere in seguito alla riforma, riuscendo così ad adeguarsi al minor prezzo di mercato. I produttori inefficienti sarebbero in grado di vendere i contingenti, recuperando così parte del loro valore. Nel caso non ci fossero acquirenti interessati ai contingenti nello stesso Stato membro o in altri Stati membri, l’impresa può richiedere l’aiuto alla riconversione, che dovrebbe contribuire a coprire i costi di ripristino delle buone condizioni ambientali nel sito produttivo e di reimpiego della manodopera. Le discussioni in seno al Consiglio e al Parlamento evidenziano una forte preoccupazione da parte di alcuni Stati membri e delle parti interessate in merito alla possibilità di trasferimenti transnazionali di contingenti. A tale proposito, la Commissione tiene a sottolineare che occorre incrementare la competitività del settore zuccheriero europeo se si vuole assicurare una produzione di zucchero sostenibile a lungo termine nell’Unione europea. Il trasferimento di quote tra Stati membri è un modo per garantire tale risultato.

De gemeenschappelijke marktordening in de suikersector stelt quota vast voor de suikerproductie per regio van de Gemeenschap. De autoriteiten van de lidstaten wijzen deze quota toe aan hun suikerproducerende ondernemingen. Het is aan elke onderneming om zelf volgens haar eigen criteria haar productie over een of meer verwerkingsfabrieken te verdelen en te organiseren. Het feit dat een onderneming een van haar fabrieken sluit en haar productie in slechts één verwerkingsbedrijf concentreert, zoals het geval is in Ierland, verandert niets aan het quotum van de onderneming en verlaagt evenmin haar totale productie. Ierse boeren zullen dus dezelfde hoeveelheden suikerbieten kunnen blijven produceren als voor de sluiting. Concentratie en rationalisatie van de productie zijn gangbare elementen van industriële herstructurering en weerspiegelen, voor suiker, de trend van de afgelopen tien jaar, waarin het aantal fabrieken bijna is gehalveerd binnen de EU van vijftien. De overdracht van quota tussen lidstaten is in juli 2004 in de mededeling van de Commissie over de hervorming van de suikersector opgenomen teneinde het concurrentievermogen van de Europese suikersector te vergroten. De overdracht geeft de meer concurrerende ondernemingen de gelegenheid quota te kopen van ondernemingen die besluiten na de hervorming de deuren te sluiten, en zich zo aan te passen aan de lagere prijs in de markt. De inefficiënte producenten zouden hun quotum kunnen verkopen en zo iets kunnen opstrijken van de waarde van het quotum. Als niemand in dezelfde lidstaat of andere lidstaten belangstelling heeft om het quotum te kopen, kan de onderneming een verzoek tot omschakelingssteun indienen, die moet helpen de kosten te dekken van het herstel van goede milieuomstandigheden voor het fabrieksterrein en van het vinden van andere werk voor de werknemers. Uit de discussies in de Raad en het Parlement blijkt dat er bij een aantal lidstaten en belanghebbenden grote zorgen bestaan over de mogelijkheid van een transnationale overdracht van quota. In dit verband moet de Commissie onderstrepen dat het concurrentievermogen van de Europese suikerindustrie moet worden vergroot om op de lange termijn een duurzame basis voor de suikerproductie in de Europese Unie te kunnen garanderen.

The fact that an undertaking closes one of its factories and concentrates its production in only one processing plant – as is the case in Ireland – does not modify its quota or decrease its total production. Irish farmers will therefore be able to continue producing the same quantities of sugar beet as before the closure. Concentration and rationalisation of production is a common feature of industrial restructuring and, for sugar, reflects the trend over the last ten years, where the number of factories almost halved within the EU of 15. The quota transfer across Member States was presented by the Commission's communication on the sugar reform in July 2004 to increase the competitiveness of the European sugar sector. It would allow the more competitive undertakings to acquire the quotas of those undertakings that decide to close after the reform, and thus to adjust to the lower price in the market. The inefficient producers would be able to sell the quotas and thereby reap some of the value of the quotas. If nobody is interested in buying the quotas in the same Member State or other Member States, the undertaking can apply for conversion aid, which should help to cover the costs of restoring good environmental conditions for the factory site and of redeploying the labour force. Discussions in the Council and Parliament show very strong concern on the part of a number of Member States and stakeholders with regard to the possibility of trans-national quota transfer. In this connection, the Commission needs to underline that the competitiveness of the European sugar industry has to be increased in order to ensure a sustainable, long-term basis for sugar production within the European Union. Transferring quotas between Member States is one way of ensuring this. Alternative and complementary solutions are not to be ruled out and are also being analysed."@pl¹⁶ ". A organização comum dos mercados no sector do açúcar fixa quotas de produção de açúcar por região da Comunidade. As autoridades dos Estados-Membros atribuem estas quotas aos seus produtores de açúcar. Cabe a cada um destes decidir e organizar a respectiva produção, entre uma ou mais refinarias, de acordo com os seus próprios critérios. O facto de uma empresa encerrar uma das suas refinarias e concentrar a sua produção apenas numa refinaria – como é o caso na Irlanda – não altera a sua quota ou diminui a sua produção total. Os agricultores irlandeses poderão, por isso, continuar a produzir as mesmas quantidades de açúcar de beterraba que produziam antes do referido encerramento. A concentração e racionalização da produção é uma característica comum da reestruturação industrial e, no caso do açúcar, reflecte a tendência verificada nos últimos dez anos, ao longo dos quais o número de refinarias diminuiu praticamente para metade na EU a 15. A transferência de quotas entre Estados-Membros foi apresentada na Comunicação da Comissão, de Julho de 2004, sobre a reforma do açúcar, com vista a aumentar a competitividade do sector do açúcar europeu. Permitiria que as empresas mais competitivas comprassem as quotas das que decidissem encerrar após a reforma e proceder, deste modo, a um ajustamento pelo preço mais baixo do mercado. Os produtores ineficientes poderiam vender as quotas e, desse modo, arrecadar algum do valor das quotas. Se ninguém estiver interessado em comprar as quotas no mesmo Estado-Membro, ou noutros Estados-Membros, a empresa pode candidatar-se à ajuda de conversão, que deverá ajudá-la a cobrir os custos de reposição das boas condições ambientais no local da refinaria e de recolocação da sua mão-de-obra. As discussões no Conselho e no Parlamento mostram as grandes preocupações, da parte de uma série de Estados-Membros e de partes interessadas, no que se refere à possibilidade de uma transferência de quotas transnacional. A este respeito, a Comissão deve salientar que a competitividade da indústria europeia do açúcar deverá aumentar, a fim de assegurar uma base sustentável, a longo prazo, para a produção de açúcar na União Europeia. A transferência de quotas entre Estados-Membros é uma forma de o assegurar. Não deverão ser postas de parte soluções alternativas e complementares, e estão também a ser analisadas."@pt¹⁷ "The common organisation of markets in the sugar sector fixes sugar production quotas by Community region.

Den gemensamma organisationen av marknader för sockersektorn fastställer kvoter för sockerproduktion utifrån gemenskapens regioner. Myndigheterna i medlemsländerna fördelar dessa kvoter till sina sockerproducerande företag. Det är upp till varje företag att besluta och organisera sin produktion i en eller flera produktionsenheter alltefter egna kriterier. Att ett företag lägger ned en av sina fabriker och koncentrerar sin produktion till en enda produktionsenhet – så som fallet är i Irland – varken förändrar dess kvot eller minskar dess totala produktion. Irländska jordbrukare kommer därför att kunna fortsätta producera samma kvantiteter sockerbetor som före nedläggningen. Koncentration och rationalisering av produktionen är en vanlig företeelse vid industriell omstrukturering och när det gäller socker återspeglar den de senaste tio årens tendens med nästan en halvering av antalet fabriker i EU-15. Överföringen av kvoter mellan medlemsländer presenterades i juli 2004 i kommissionens meddelande om sockerreformen för att öka den europeiska sockerindustrins konkurrenskraft. Detta skulle göra det möjligt för mer konkurrenskraftiga företag att förvärva kvoterna från de företag som beslutar om nedläggning efter reformen och innebär på sätt en anpassning till lägre marknadspriser. De ineffektiva producenterna skulle kunna sälja kvoterna och därigenom tillgodogöra sig en del av kvoternas värde. Om ingen är intresserad av att köpa kvoterna i samma medlemsland eller i andra medlemsländer kan företaget ansöka om omställningsersättning. Denna bör bidra till att täcka kostnaderna för att återställa en god miljö på fabriksområdet och att omplacera arbetskraften. I diskussionerna i rådet och parlamentet uttrycker en del medlemsländer och berörda parter mycket stor oro inför möjligheten till gränsöverskridande överföring av kvoter. I detta sammanhang vill kommissionen understryka att den europeiska sockerindustrins konkurrenskraft måste öka för att säkerställa en hållbar, långsiktig bas för EU:s sockerproduktion. Att överföra kvoter mellan medlemsländer är ett sätt att garantera detta. Alternativa och kompletterande lösningar skall inte uteslutas och undersöks också hela tiden noga."@sv²¹
