lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, jobs which could easily be saved are being lost in London because of EU legislation. The Tate and Lyle sugar refinery in the borough of Newham has been forced to cut back on production and lay off 30 staff. This is because, under EU quota rules, they cannot buy the raw sugar they need within the EU. However, the Commission has the power to change the rules and allow Tate and Lyle to buy what they need on the world market. I wrote to Commissioner Cioloş on 14 March, asking him to urgently meet with Tate and Lyle so they could put their case for resolving the problem. So far, I have not had a reply. We cannot afford to lose these jobs in one of the poorest parts of London. I urge Commissioner Cioloş to meet with Tate and Lyle as soon as possible in order to reach a solution."@en1
