Proposal for a regulation
Recital 84 a (new)

(84a) To enable beet and sugarcane growers to continue their adaptation to the far-reaching reform carried out in the sugar sector in 2006 and to continue the efforts to become competitive undertaken since then, the present quota system should be extended at least until the end of the 2019-2020 marketing year. However, given the recurrent serious tensions seen on the European sugar market, there has to be an arrangement whereby, for as long as necessary, non- quota sugar can automatically be reclassified as quota sugar, so as to enable the structural balance of the market to be preserved.

Recital 84 b (new)

(84b) Pursuant to Article 349 of the Treaty, the specific situation of the sugar sector in the remotest regions should be taken into account and support should continue to be provided for the sector’s survival. On no account should the Commission take measures which are contrary to the interests of the sugar sector in the remotest regions, but should take particular account of the interest of producers and seek solutions which enable sugarcane growers to earn decent incomes.
