"Today, the European Parliament has voted on a resolution subsequent to an oral question put by Mr Daul and Mr Fruteau. I chose to vote against the resolution as a whole since it is mainly oriented towards maintaining the status quo.
It is of the greatest importance for EU agricultural policy – including the organisation of the market in sugar – to be reformed. This is partly because the present system costs EU taxpayers a lot of money to maintain and partly because today’s high agricultural subsidies involve EU products being dumped on the world market, something that has serious consequences for the developing countries’ ability to export and produce.
The reform of the common organisation of the market in sugar will not only affect European sugar producers, but also producers in certain developing countries whom the current system does not at present entirely place at a disadvantage. Their situation should not, however, be remedied through a less far-reaching reform of the sugar market. Instead, these countries should be supported through increased development cooperation and technical trade support, derived perhaps from the resources released in connection with the reform of the sugar market. Finally, it is important for these countries to be given an adequate transitional period in which to adapt to the new situation."@en1
