The Reform of the Common Market Organisation for Sugar

Back


The European Commission has proposed far-reaching reforms to the common market organisation for sugar. The changes will enhance the competitiveness and market-orientation of the European Union sugar industry, guarantee it a viable long-term future and strengthen the EU's negotiating position in the current round of world trade talks. They will modernise the current system, which has remained largely unchanged in the past 40 years.

Wow, this propaganda reads like it came from the Soviet Union.

Just think, thanks to the government, people who don't produce sugar efficiently will now have incentives to do something else!

WOW! And the only downside is our ever-increasing debt!

Also, it's the EU which gives 3rd world sugar producers a helping hand, not the businesses who import sugar! Credit where credit is due, I say!

At least we can drop the pretense that the EU is for trade and prosperity.

This video has a problem I've seen on some others from EUtube: it repeats the footage without the voice-over.

Its sounds like shifting money from one farmer to another the game is the same

gizmo, what game do you refer to?

A market orientated CAP, isnt that a contradiction in terms?
CAP=300% increase in prices for the consumer. Long live the EU sayeth the farmers

Darth: "sayeth"? You shouldn't talk with your mouth full ;-) And no, it's not. There are many alternatives to anarchocapitalist (so called "free" market) and rigid command-and-control economies. In fact those alternatives are all that have ever worked.

As for the 300%, the video was critical of that and stated that it needed to change. Would they say that if they thought it was going to continue?

Why is the European commision making videos when it could LET THE AUDITORS IN
ukeuwatcher (September 4, 2007 at 5:57 am)
What are you talking about? They already have. I'd rather the European Parliament commissioned the videos, as they are directly rather than indirectly elected. But even if they hadn't let the auditors in, why shouldn't they make videos? All large institutions produce PR material. Why should the EU be any different?

Is it just me, or is that Chris Morris narrating this video?
