lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, they say it is better to give a fishing rod than a fish. If we are going to shut down sugar production in Ireland and in the EU, we can and must properly compensate the farmers and producers, even if just to salve our own conscience. But are we crazy? Why are we shutting down sugar production when we desperately need to find alternatives to petroleum fuels? Why are we paying to have empty fields and rusting equipment when we need sugar production more than ever? Sugar has other uses besides sweets. On the one hand, we are warning of the disappearance of oil and promoting alternatives; on the other hand, sugar – one of the viable alternatives – has been made to disappear. One hand does not seem to know what the other is doing. How can we accomplish anything? While we are planning our own compensation package, let us remember third countries like Mauritius, which are being devastated by our sugar reforms."@en1
