"Mr President, last year, sugar prices hit a 30-year high. The EU is facing a sugar shortage in spite of a global sugar surplus.
These shortages are unnecessary and the Commission is to blame. Because of the mismanagement of the sugar regime, cane sugar refineries across Europe are under threat. These refineries provide more than 4 500 jobs in some of the poorest parts of the EU.
Cane refineries are being forced to pay a higher price for their raw materials than their competitors. The Commission must ensure a level playing field to protect jobs. The Commission must include sugar cane in its strategy in order to address this artificial shortage."@en1
