lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I congratulate Mr Fruteau for having prepared these three particularly important presentations on reform in the sugar sector. As early as last November, the Council agreed on the common principles of the organisation of the sugar market and the directions for reform. That was a very important decision, welcomed by us all; first, because it demonstrated our ability to agree on issues that are important to the entire Community, which unifies the Union and, second, it has strengthened our negotiating position in Hong Kong. We have shown that the Community not only articulates ideas, but is also able to take specific actions. The Community comprehends and consistently prepares to meet the challenges of globalisation. It is a shame, of course, that the agreement was accepted by the Council without having consulted the European Parliament, which represents the interests of the European people. Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the way the reform has been designed and planned is very important, but its implementation is of even greater significance. Therefore, restructuring is a cornerstone of all three reports. In Lithuania, the major sugar manufacturer is the Danish company Danisco Sugar. It operates factories not only in Lithuania, but also in Sweden, Germany and Finland. It is evident that the proposed reform will encourage to maintain the most efficient factories while decommissioning those operating at a loss. However, what we need to do is take into account the interests of the employees, as well as those of raw material growers, and ensure that they are not abandoned. Therefore, the reform must, first and foremost, facilitate the production of alternative products and create new businesses, and not only arrange an exit from the market. Austria and Finland promised to complete the reform by the end of the year. The reform will only be a success if it takes into account the interests of all market players."@en1
