I acknowledge that the European sugar sector is in need of reform. In order to make it fair and effective, however, the reform needs to strike a balance between:
the implementation of measures aimed at absorbing the economic shock of the reform;
and support for developing different products to provide sugar production with an alternative outlet.
I therefore voted in favour of this report.
international trade commitments entered into;
the proposed objectives for increasing the sector’s competitiveness;
the stability of the EU market;
the sector’s viability and sustainability, with particular regard to guarantees of income for European producers;
and the preferential trade arrangements granted by the EU to ACP countries and the least developed countries, not least via incentives to export sugar to the EU, under the ‘Everything But Arms’ initiative.
To this end, I welcome the broad guidelines for reform proposed in this report, along with the amendments to improve upon the Commission’s proposals for reform, as follows:
a less drastic reduction in prices;
the establishment of a trade regulation;"@en1
