"Reforming the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector has been discussed by the Council since October last year, during which time the Council has taken on board certain criticism from the Court of Auditors.
As this House is aware, Parliament made its declaration on this matter on 13 March 2001. In looking at this declaration, I can say that it is generally
along the lines suggested by the honourable Member. I would also point out that the Commission has stated that it may approve an extension of the current organisation of the sugar markets beyond 1 July 2003 on condition that all the other parts of its reform proposal are approved by the Council.
I also believe that there is disagreement among Member States between those who support reform and those who oppose it.
The Council will continue addressing the issue at its meeting in May and will look at all contributions, including those presented in the question which has just been put to the Council.
In addition, the Council adopted a regulation on 26 February 2001 on the “Everything but Arms” initiative to extend duty and quota free access to all products except arms and ammunition originating in a large number of least-developed countries. With regard to sugar, full liberalisation of trade will apply from 1 July 2009."@en1
