This book was released on 2005-12-13 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a response by the European Union Committee to the EU's reform of the sugar regime. The Committee welcomes such a reform. The current system protects the EU sugar market through a support system of guaranteed minimum prices, different production quota levels, import tariffs and export funds. Under the text, to be agreed by the European Parliament, the minimum price will be cut by 36% over four years, with production quotas merged into a single quota. The result of such changes, will mean some factories will close and jobs lost. Another consequence will be a reduction of sugar production by almost 40%. These reforms will also affect countries outside the EU border. Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific enjoy preferential access and rates for imports of their sugar, and who will face challenges in the face of a reformed sugar regime

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important recent World Trade Organization dispute settlement case for many developing countries concerned European Union exports of sugar. Brazil, Thailand, and Australia alleged that the exports have substantially exceeded permitted levels as established by European Union commitments in the WTO. This case had major implications for both European Union sugar producers and developing countries that benefited from preferential access to the European Union market. It was also noteworthy in the use of economic arguments by the WTO dispute settlement panel, which held that the excess sugar exports were in part a reflection of illegal de facto cross-subsidization-rents from production that benefited from high support prices being used to cover losses associated with exports of sugar to the world market. Although in principle the economic arguments of the panel could apply to many other policy areas, in practice WTO provisions greatly limit the scope to bring similar arguments for trade in products that are not subject to explicit export subsidy reduction commitments of the type that were made for sugar and other agricultural commodities.

This book was released on 2021-12-12 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Located within the plantation economy model of the “New World Group” of The University of the West Indies, this book explores how the changes in the European Union’s sugar regime impacted a sugar-dependent community in Jamaica. It details how the end of centuries of preferential treatment of Jamaican sugar in the British/European market in 2005 worsened the social and environmental realities of the Monymusk community in Clarendon, Jamaica, which depended on the sugar industry. In describing the response of the Jamaican Government to the changes in the EU Sugar Regime, and the subsequent roll-out of an EU funded adaptation strategy, the author provides some unique perspectives on this process, drawing on his experience as a senior civil servant involved in the process. The book also highlights the continued social and environmental impact on the area since 2015 . The book concludes with a discussion on the empirical findings and how those findings contribute to the debates on the dependency perpetuated by the Plantation Economy Model of development and the failure of neo-liberal influenced government policies, as well as the lack of imagination of post-independent governments to break this dependency and deliver on the promise of independence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interventions in sugar markets come about for many reasons. Often the consequences of these policies persist even when the circumstances that motivated them change. Or the underlying problems that motivated past interventions remain even when it's clear that current approaches have failed. Reform of sugar markets needs to go beyond eliminating failed policies, and find lasting solutions.

This book was released on 2012-09-04 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the conclusion of the Committee's short, follow-up inquiry following 2005's 'Too Much or Too Little? Changes to the EU Sugar Regime', (HLP 80-I, 2005-06, ISBN 9780104007716) published when reform of the regime was imminent. The Committee wanted to examine the progress of reform and what measures will be necessary in future, prior to the EU finalising its position on this issue in the autumn. After the last set of reforms took place, the price of sugar in the EU decreased. However, this was just for the growers and the producers - the cost to the consumer actually increased, meaning they did not reap the benefits of the decrease in sugar prices. The sugar market has very few significant operators. For consumers primarily, but for the industry too, the pricing process needs clarity and transparency. The Committee believes that an investigation by the UK's Office of Fair Trading would be an excellent way of providing independent advice to the Commission on how the process impacts on UK consumers.Other recommendations include the abolition of production quotas in 2015, that import tariffs on raw and refined sugar are eased and that the European Commission carefully monitors the disbursement of funding set aside to help lessen the impact of the 2006 reforms on developing countries to combat the delays that have been experienced thus far.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The structure of the European Union (EU) sugar regime has been under tremendous pressure internally and externally for major reforms. The EU sugar regime has avoided major reforms during the review in year 2001, but it may not be able to avoid major reforms by year 2006 after its midterm review in year 2003. The coming new WTO round in agriculture will pressure the EU sugar regime for further reforms because the EU is sensitive to further tariff reductions and may encounter problems in its border protection for sugar. The EU may resolve its problem in exporting sugar with export subsidy by cutting its production quotas and limiting sugar production after EU enlargement by imposing strict production quotas, along with growth in the EU sugar consumption.

This book was released on 2006-02-08 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: A, Corvinus University Budapest, course: International Trade Policy, language: English, abstract: “Without needs the EU murders existences!“ is written in big letters on bills in my homevillage in Germany, which is dominated by agriculture. Most of the farmers earn at least some parts of their income out of selling sugar beets. On the other hand 1000km away in Brussels José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, who doesn’t miss to repeat in any interview the same requirenment: "It's not only about agriculture, it's about services, it's about industrial products, it's about intellectual property rights," he is insisting. The following Policy Paper is going to show why the sugar subsidies are such a sensitive and important issue and which results the forthcomming reforms of the Common Market Organization (CMO) for sugar will have. On the 24th of November the European Union Agricultural Ministers agreed on a new cornerstone in the discussion about the reform of the CMO for sugar. Within the recent months the attention about this reform has grown constantly. On one side the affected farmers (especially in France and Germany) of the EU that didn’t want to give up the current status quo; on the other the developing countries that increase their pressure on the EU to open up markets. In respect of the negotiations in the current world trade rounds, which got stuck, the EU was obviously willing to sacrifice a pawn in order to strengthen its position in the negotiations of other (more profitable) topics (e.g. Trade and Services). Due to the delicate history with failures of the Ministerial Conferences in Seattle (3rdConference), the partial failure of Doha (4thConference) and finally Cancun (5thConference) the Honk Kong meeting should deliver a more significant outcome in this topic. Otherwise the whole GATT respectively the WTO-system might be on disposition. In addition it is important to note that the sugar sector is the only agricultural sector that hasn’t been affected by both of the two big WTO reforms in 1992 (McSharry Reform) and in 2003 at all. But why is the sugar production such a sensitive topic at all?
