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 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

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?

Book excerpt: Sugar is one of the most policy distorted of all commodities, and the European Union, Japan, and the United States are among the worst offenders. But internal changes in the E.U. and U.S. sugar and sweetener markets and international trade commitments make change unavoidable and provide the best opportunity for policy reform in several decades. The nature of reforms can have very different consequences for developing countries. If existing polices in the E.U. and the U.S. are adjusted to accommodate higher imports under international commitments, many low-cost producers, such as Brazil, will lose because they do not currently have large quotas and are not included among the preferential countries. The benefits of sugar policy reform are greatest under multilateral reform, and according to recent studies, the global welfare gains of removal of all trade protection are estimated to total as much as $4.7 billion a year. In countries with the highest protection (Indonesia, Japan, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and the U.S.), net imports would increase by an estimated 15 million tons a year, which would create employment for nearly one million workers in developing countries. World sugar prices would increase by as much as 40 percent, while sugar prices in countries that heavily protect their markets would decline. Developing countries that have preferential access to the E.U. or U.S. sugar markets are likely to lose some of these preferences as sugar policies change. However, the value of preferential access is less than it appears because many of these producers have high production costs and would not produce at world market prices.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing countries can produce sugar at much lower cost than in the EU, yet reform of the EU sugar policy will result in both winners and losers among them. This is because the EU is both an exporter and importer of sugar. Sugar policy reform will mean a reduction in EU sugar production, benefiting competitive sugar exporters such as Brazil. But sugar policy reform will adversely affect those developing countries which currently benefit from preferential import access to the EU's high-priced sugar market, while diminishing the benefits of those least developed countries to which duty-free and quota-free access has been promised after July 2009. This paper concentrates on the latter group of preference-receiving countries. It identifies the countries concerned and the extent of their potential losses. It critiques alternative proposals which have been put forward to assist these countries to adjust to the adverse effects of EU sugar policy reform. The paper concludes by proposing a modified package of measures to offset the negative effects of EU sugar policy reform on preference-receiving countries.

Download or read book Guideline Sugars Intake for Adults and Children written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guideline provides updated global, evidence-informed recommendations on the intake of free sugars to reduce the risk of NCDs in adults and children, with a particular focus on the prevention and control of unhealthy weight gain and dental caries. The recommendations in this guideline can be used by policy-makers and programme managers to assess current intake levels of free sugars in their countries relative to a benchmark. They can also be used to develop measures to decrease intake of free sugars, where necessary, through a range of public health interventions. Examples of such interventions and measures that are already being implemented by countries include food and nutrition labelling, consumer education, regulation of marketing of food and non-alcoholic beverages that are high in free sugars, and fiscal policies targeting foods and beverages that are high in free sugars. This guideline should be used in conjunction with other nutrient guidelines and dietary goals, in particular those related to fats and fatty acids (including saturated fatty acids and trans-fatty acids), to guide development of effective public health nutrition policies and programmes to promote a healthy diet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the changes to developed country trade policy that affect developing countries do not fit neatly into the category of 'liberalisation' yet they are frequently assessed as if they did. The recent changes to the EU's regimes for production and imports of sugar fall into this group: both production and trade policies were highly distorted before the change and will remain so after it, but the distribution of the effects of these distortions will be altered. This will affect three of the six Development Cooperation Ireland programme countries in Africa: Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia. Returns from sugar exports to the EU will be less than otherwise would have been. How much lower depends critically on how the sugar market develops after 2009.

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.
