BRUSSELS, CMC – Chairman of the African Caribbean Pacific (ACP) Sugar Group, Ambassador P.I, Gomes, says while he welcomes the recent decision to continue the current beet sugar quota until 2020, the ruling would need to be supported by European Union when it considers the sugar regime.
Last week, the European Parliament voted in support of Comagri’s proposal for the continuation of the current beet sugar quota provisions until 30 September 2020.
“The vote by the European Parliament is an important step in avoiding a premature destabilisation of the EU sugar market. However this welcome action will need to be supported by EU Member States when Ministers consider the Sugar Regime in Council.
