"The EU’s agricultural aid does cause great damage to the world’s poorest countries. Sugar is also one of the most crucial export products for many of those same poor countries. That is why the recently implemented sugar reform we are now talking about is extremely important, even if I think it should have gone still further.
I think, in actual fact, that it is quite embarrassing that the EU, which otherwise has free competition as its motto, should go to such lengths to favour its own agriculture. I want therefore to ask the Commission what further measures it intends to take to reduce the EU’s agricultural aid and thus make it possible for the world’s poor countries to do something themselves about their at present very difficult situation."@en1
