lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the 2006 reform was supposed to improve the competitiveness of the sugar beet sector in Europe. This reform was carried out at great sacrifice in terms of men and land. Factories were closed. Whole areas of land had to abandon beet production. Cane sugar refiners are now calling for the suspension of tariffs on sugar without any trade negotiation. Increased imports of cane sugar from other third countries would undermine the preferences granted to our traditional partners in developing countries and could halt investments in these countries. The European Union sugar market is totally open. As far as I am concerned, any delay in investments in African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries and the least developed countries (LDCs) cannot justify the refiners’ demand to disregard them. As a rapporteur for this House on the common market organisation (CMO) in the reform of the common agricultural policy (CAP), the ACP countries that I have encountered have explicitly asked me to keep the system in place today. Ladies and gentlemen, this House has already, on a number of occasions, had discussions, regarding, in particular, the Dess report in July 2011 and Resolution No 2010/2110, passed in March 2011. Yes, we must defend jobs. However, under the pretext of defending dozens of industrial jobs, do we need to have more people abandoning our lands with the removal of European producers? For three years now, is it not the case that our Parliament has, all too often, affirmed and reaffirmed its determination to defend our food self-sufficiency and to promote our agriculture as much as possible?"@en1
