"Mr President, I am actually astonished to hear the Commission state that there is no cartel operating in the sugar sector. Commissioner, we do not need studies, surveys or investigations. I would simply ask you to pick up the telephone and claim to be the owner of a supermarket in your country, telephone another Member State, such as France, Germany or the United Kingdom, and say that you want to buy sugar. Do this and see what answer you are given. You will be told that there is no sugar, because the market is completely sewn up by a cartel, with the blessing of the Commission, which fiercely defends this cartel whenever it is under attack, as in the Autonomous Region of the Azores. These are the facts. None of your justifications appeared in the report by the Court of Auditors when it stated the same thing and in fact the Commission said only that this situation was due to the nature of the sector."@en1
