"Mr President, the Rio Summit reinforced my belief that we need to ensure economic and environmental agendas go hand-in-hand.
We can boost sustainable development through trade liberalisation. However, the Commission is putting jobs at risk, both in the EU and in the developing world, because of rigid preferential access rules. Four and a half thousand skilled jobs are at risk across the EU because of restrictions on sugar cane imports.
If refiners in Europe fail, the developing countries will not be able to sell raw sugar cane to the EU. In Brazil, sugar cane is providing a solution to economic, environment and even energy problems. During the summit, a test flight took place using jet biofuel derived from sugar cane. The Commission needs to urgently make changes to the sugar regime to ensure competition in the sugar market and to ensure that sugar cane takes off in the EU."@en1
