"Madam President, there are three points I should like to emphasise in this context. Firstly, the sugar reform really is not nearly thorough enough and does not even come close to rectifying the scandalous imbalances that exist in the relationship between the EU and the sugar-producing countries. Secondly, compensation for the ACP countries’ sugar farmers should be at the same level as for the EU’s producers in the sugar industry. This is something that the financial benefits resulting from the reform could easily pay for. Thirdly, it is quite wrong-headed of us to want to meet the challenge presented by the sugar reform by allowing the developing countries to produce bioethanol. The ACP countries’ dependence on Europe will probably only be exacerbated if they are now locked into producing sustenance for our cars instead of food for people. The consequences of such a strategy for global food production could be quite disastrous."@en1
