"Question No 1 by Bart Staes, which has been taken over by Mrs Maes ():
On 30 June the current sugar scheme will either have to be extended or changed. Last year the cost of overproduction in the sugar sector amounted to EUR 800 million, almost as much as the sum made available for dealing with the BSE crisis. Despite strong criticism of the current scheme by the Court of Auditors and the negative effects on consumers and third-world producers, the Council appears very unwilling to make changes to the sugar scheme as proposed by the Commission. There is a threat that a number of EU Member States may give in to the short-sighted approach based on selfÂinterest taken by the sugar industry.
Does the Council intend to back the Commission proposal, given the strong criticism of the current sugar scheme by the Court of Auditors and the negative effects on consumers and third-world producers? If not, why is the Council advocating maintaining a sugar scheme which has been strongly criticised by the Court of Auditors and which has negative effects on consumers and third-world producers?"@en1
