"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no doubt that far-reaching reforms are needed in the sugar industry in the European Union to enable it to remain successful in the future. Reducing production is an essential component of these reforms. However, this reduction should focus primarily on companies that are uncompetitive; unfortunately, the reality is often different.
For example, in my home country, the Czech Republic, the sugar factories that were new, effective and prosperous were closed and quotas were renounced on behalf of supranational producers. Of course this had a very negative impact on domestic growers and consumers.
I would therefore like to appeal to the Commission to take competitiveness principles into account, to a greater extent than before, when implementing the necessary reforms in the sugar industry, and to pay much more attention to the development of the biofuels sector. I think that biofuels offer new opportunities to sugar beet growers and represent the future."@en1
