"Thank you, Ms Ludford. In the past, we had excessively high sugar prices in Europe. During the reform of the sugar regime in 2006 and also beforehand, sugar beet prices in Europe fell by around 40%. This meant that sugar beet producers suffered massive cuts. There have been major fluctuations in prices on the world market. There was a time when sugar was much more expensive on the world market than in Germany. At that point, none of the African, Caribbean and Pacific states were supplying Europe. The problem was that there were inconsistencies. Ms Ludford, if we in Europe abolish the sugar regime, we will be even more exposed to fluctuations in prices and European consumers will have to pay a bitter price."@en1
