"Madam President, this report is proof that qualified market access is urgently needed for products from developing countries. By this I mean that these countries should be paid on our terms, so that they can develop their national economies. The report also reveals that liberalisation, which follows the colonial principle whereby the former colonies supply us with cheap food while we then sell industrial products to them, is both disastrous and dangerous.
Liberalisation of this kind causes hunger and poverty, and it costs billions. The necessary reduction in quantities could have been achieved equally well by administrative means, without any need for this money. I would ask Mr Gahler to take a closer look at the figures; sugar beet farmers will receive only 10% of this billion-euro sum, with the rest channelled into the restructuring fund for the sugar industry. This is absolutely scandalous, since an enormous amount could have been achieved with this money had it been spent on development aid, or on fostering economic development in the rural areas of these regions."@en1
