"The June List welcomes the reform of the EU’s sugar sector and finds it encouraging that this sector too is being adjusted to the market. This should have happened earlier. We are critical of the EU’s export subsidies to domestic sugar producers and take a positive view of the fact that it will be possible for the sugar trade to take place under fairer conditions in the future.
Without going into details of the budget, I wish to emphasise that extensive financial aid alone will not solve the problems that sugar sector reform may entail for the ACP countries. Financial aid does not guarantee longer-term conversion and restructuring of the ACP countries’ sugar sectors and industries.
I am also looking for clearer strategies and priorities governing those things for which the financial resources are specifically to be used. Otherwise, there is a significant danger of our only offering the ACP countries a form of artificial respiration and of the aid being given by the EU not having the intended effect."@en1
