"Mr President, I am fully aware that ever more far-reaching reforms of the common agricultural policy must be and will be carried out. It is an unfortunate fact that these new reforms will work to the disadvantage of farmers, and that as usual the new Member States will suffer most. This is yet another example of the unjust terms upon which we joined the EU.
It will be no secret to the Commissioner that the reform of the sugar regime currently under way will not win her any friends in Poland. She should understand our point of view, however, and pay due attention to it. As the rapporteur said, our attention should be focused in particular on the men and women who earn their living from sugar production. The planned compensation should be targeted mainly at workers in sugar factories and at farmers, rather than at the owners of such factories. This is all the more true since the majority of sugar factories in Poland are under foreign control.
The transfer of production quotas from one country to another should be prohibited in order to avoid speculation. This reform of the sugar market is yet another wasted opportunity. Instead of acting as an expression of solidarity between EU Member States and with developing countries, it will result in insufficient aid for poor countries and fresh points of contention between Member States."@en1
