"It is regrettable that the Commission has returned within such a short period of time with a second sugar restructuring package for Parliament to vote on. The initial package resulted in the demise of the Irish sugar industry, to the detriment of the country, farmers and growers.
Unfortunately, to date the compensation package has not filtered fully down to either farmers or contractors.
I disagree with the Commission’s attempt to limit the compensation paid to growers and contractors to just 10% in the current package – allocating the remaining 90% to processors seems excessive.
In the initial restructuring scheme a minimum of 10% was allocated to growers and contractors, with Member States being given the flexibility to decide on the precise share out but with this package the Commission is very fixed in how compensation should be allocated.
It is clear that increased levels of restructuring aid are needed to reach the Commissions targets. I welcome that increased level of restructuring aid will be paid to those who have already quit beet production.
I would urge that the compensation payments due to Irish farmers and contractors be paid out as a matter of urgency – this saga has gone on for too long."@en1
