"Mr President, the fact that sugar was in short supply in some Member States and that its price rose out of all proportion due to international speculation permits us to conclude that the reform of sugar quotas in 2006 was a failure of European agricultural policy. The drop in sugar production meant that, in my country, all sugar refineries closed and thousands of their workers found themselves jobless.
It is therefore important that we are able to correct the errors of unsuccessful past decisions as soon as possible and change the current mechanisms causing the decline of food production in Europe. The Commission should react to changes in economic conditions more promptly and stimulate employment and promote economic growth through its actions.
This is a reason to review, without prejudices, the quota system currently in force so that it does not create imbalances and tensions in the internal market."@en1
