"No, we are not attacking anyone. All that we are stating is that we want a level playing field. We are talking about European jobs.
The 2006 legislation was brought in by the EU. At the time, it could have been reasonable and it probably did work, but companies and institutions and the EU should move forward as situations change. The situation has changed. The sugar is not enough for these refineries and they are having to shut down for certain days a week. That is a fact.
If we do not act, there is a chance that 4 500 European jobs will be lost. I am talking about jobs, not only in the UK, where we are only talking about 90 jobs at the moment, but in countries such as Portugal which are suffering under the economic recession. This is not a time to play politics."@en1
