"Mr President, Commissioner, I have already had the opportunity to speak using my blue card, so I am surprised at the wording of the question. I think that it has been dictated by certain private interests of the big refiners, and I cannot condone this wording or this accusation put to the Commission. Ms Reding gave us a very good explanation of how the Commission wanted to ensure an adequate supply of sugar to consumers. It has managed to maintain this balance by monitoring the market and acting promptly.
For the future, I advocate quota adjustments. Creating new jobs is, of course, possible – because this, I would say, is a concern that we all have – and could be done by adjusting quotas upwards in response to the market. But more importantly, I think it would be helpful, in future, to try to control production collectively because, as we know, whatever the production may be, a lack of production control leads to spiralling costs, with erratic prices, which are the scourge of farmers. And, for sugar, as with other materials, it is essential that production is controlled to respond to the market. In any case, I hope that in the future, these quotas will be adjusted in line with market realities in order to help revive European industry and European producers that little bit more."@en1
