lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Daul report on the sugar sector is exceptionally well thought out. It responds to the needs of all sides, while remaining within the bounds of the possibilities and balances offered by the common agricultural policy. The proposals made in the report really do serve the interests of Community sugar beet and sugar cane growers in respect of their employment and standards of living. They also respond to the need for programmed production given that, as I am sure you are aware, beet is a four-year crop grown in rotation with other arable crops. They also protect consumer interests in terms of both prices and quality specifications. The dates on which the current regime expires have been brought into line with the deadlines agreed in Berlin. This adjustment is extremely important not only because all the interested parties know the exact date on which the regime changes and will comply with it, but also because we have a specific offer to table at the forthcoming WTO negotiations. The system for producing sugar from sugar beet is a self-financing system. Most of the expenditure under this system is incurred from granting export refunds. The highest level of export refunds allowed by the WTO is the 2000-2001 level. It would be a tragic mistake if the EU were to change the regime before it is obliged to do so and can demand something in return. Finally, the sugar sector is a sector which needs considerable investment if it is to function properly. No such investment will be made unless there are at least medium-term prospects. So we are delighted to give our support to the Daul report."@en1
