lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, the Commission has tabled a proposal for a common organisation of the market in sugar which must be seen as an extension to the requirement under the GATT agreements that the EU gradually reduces its export support for agricultural products, especially sugar, under guarantee of production quotas. This system of quotas expires at the end of the production year on 30 June 2001, and the Commission proposes that the current system be continued for a period of two years, with certain changes of limited scope. The Commission omits to say how the period 2003-2006 is to be funded. The Commission proposes that the price be kept at the same level but that the quotas be reduced by 115 000 tons. Moreover, the compensation system for storage costs is to be abolished, together with the requirement to maintain minimum stocks. The aforesaid reduction in the production quota will mean that the market for sugar from the world’s poorest countries can be opened in accordance with the ‘everything but arms’ principle. That is something we are able to support. As I mentioned before, however, what is then missing is information from the Commission to the sugar industry and the sugar producers about funding during the period 2003-2006. We therefore support the Committee on Budgets’ amendments in relation to the financial perspectives in Agenda 2000, and we wish to extend the organisation of the market to 2005/2006. At the same time, however, we demand that the reform of the organisation of the market be in place no later than in 2003."@en1
