lpv:translated text	". Farming is an economic activity in the fullest sense and needs long-term prospects. At a time when farmers are having to face up to new challenges, such as the need to provide good quality products, and to ensure that agriculture pays more respect to the environment, we must give them the means to look ahead to the future. The world market in sugar is highly unstable. This sector should therefore be given the instruments of stability that our producers badly need, while ensuring that these instruments are flexible enough to allow farmers to take real advantage of more favourable economic situations. The ACP countries and India have told us how important the price guarantee that the Cotonou Agreement offers them is to the development of their sugar industry, allowing them to prepare themselves for a global economy. The European Union must emphasise the commitments it entered into towards them. We endorse the call on the Commission to present impact studies of the various aspects of the COM in sugar, of the possible alternatives to this production. In the light of the findings, it will then be possible to envisage, if necessary, a review of the COM, but not before 2006, the date set for the general review."@en1
