ACP countries that have already taken steps to adapt their sugar industry in anticipation of the EU reform of the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector should not be penalised. It is essential that measures in the process of being implemented receive Community assistance if they are clearly in line with the objectives of enhancing the competitiveness of the sugar and cane sector, where this is a sustainable process, and/or of promoting the economic diversification of sugar-dependent areas and/or of addressing broader impacts of the adaptation process. Likewise, it is essential that the cost of the financial impacts of social plans which have already been implemented but are in line with the objectives laid down in this Regulation may also be borne by the EU.

It is essential to provide for the validity of this regulation to be extended in the event that the Development Cooperation and Economic Cooperation Instrument does not enter into force on 1 January 2007, so as to prevent the funding of adjustment programmes from being suspended for several months. For that reason, in such a situation, the period of validity of this Regulation is to be automatically extended, with the annual financial reference amount being set at double the amount adopted for the year 2006.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

1. Background to the proposal for a regulation

In July 2004, in its Communication to the Council and the European Parliament 'Accomplishing a sustainable agricultural model for Europe through the reformed CAP - sugar sector reform' (COM(2004)499), the Commission committed itself to supporting the adjustment process in Sugar Protocol countries that will be affected by the forthcoming reform of the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector. In January 2005, the Commission set out the principles forming the basis of its support proposals in the staff working document 'Action Plan on accompanying measures for Sugar Protocol countries affected by the reform of the EU sugar regime' (SEC(2005)61), which has been discussed with the Sugar Protocol countries. Finally, on 22 June 2005, the Commission proposed a regulation 'establishing accompanying measures for Sugar Protocol countries affected by the reform of the EU sugar regime (COM(2005)266). The proposal for a regulation contains measures designed to support the adjustment process in ACP Sugar Protocol countries.

This proposal is linked to the proposal for a 'Council Regulation on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector' (COM(2005)263 final), also published on 22 June 2005, the objective of which is to reform the EU sugar regime, which has been in existence for 37 years.

2. Substance of the regulation

The proposed regulation covers 18 ACP countries that are signatories to the Sugar Protocol and that currently export sugar to the European Union.

The objective of the proposed regulation is to establish a system of financial and technical assistance to support the adjustment process in Sugar Protocol countries that will be affected by the forthcoming reform of the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector. The aim is to provide additional funds to these countries, on which the reforms will have a major impact, in order to enable them to restructure their sugar industry or diversify their economies and to cope with the serious social, economic and environmental consequences of these changes.

Alongside these development aid measures, the Commission has also pledged to implement trade measures to help Sugar Protocol countries adapt. These measures are to be introduced in the context of negotiations on Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs).

Under the proposal, the basis for the accompanying measures is:

· within the framework of the Cotonou Agreement, the Community is committed to supporting ACP countries on their path to poverty reduction and sustainable development;

· through the EU Action Plan in support of agricultural commodities in developing countries (COM(2004)089) adopted in April 2004, the EU is committed to helping economies dependent on commodities, such as sugar, to address the challenges faced by these sectors;

· finally, the ACP countries themselves, in their responses to the Commission's reform proposal, have called for adjustment programmes to be established.

The regulation proposes the establishment of aid arrangements for a period of eight years, bearing in mind the complexity of the restructuring and diversification process which will have to be implemented by the countries concerned. The regulation is intended to provide the necessary legal basis for delivering aid from 2006. It will be followed by a specific appropriation in the 2007-2013 Financial Perspective, covered by the development part of the 'Development Cooperation and Economic Cooperation Instrument'. The proposal provides that the period of validity of the regulation may be extended in the event that this instrument does not enter into force on 1 January 2007.

Under the proposal, Community support is to be based on a country-specific, multi‑annual adaptation strategy, to be devised by the country concerned in collaboration with the Commission. In order to be eligible for Community assistance, the strategy must pursue specific goals. The key criterion will be the long‑term sustainability of the strategy, taking account in particular of the prospects for profitability of the sugar sector or alternative sectors under future market conditions. In each country, the strategy will also have to meet the more general objective of developing and enabling an environment conducive to economic growth and poverty reduction. The cost of implementing the strategies is to be covered not solely by Community assistance, but also support from national governments, the sugar industry, and/or other sponsors or financial institutions.

The preferred delivery mechanisms will be (sectoral) budget support, although programme support will also be possible, depending on the situation of a given country. Nonetheless, it is essential that this support is complementary to other assistance instruments, in particular EPAs.

The reference amount proposed for the year 2006 is EUR 40 million. Within that overall amount, the Commission intends to fix the maximum amount available to each Sugar Protocol country on the basis of the needs of each country, in particular on the basis of the impact of the reform of the sugar sector in the country concerned and the importance of the sugar sector in the economy.

3. Sugar Protocol

The specific agreements relating to trade in sugar between EU Member States and their former colonies have long historical roots. Since 1975, these agreements have been incorporated into the Sugar Protocol concluded between 18 ACP countries and the EU within the framework of the ACP-EU partnership (under the former Lomé Conventions and the current Cotonou Agreement). Under this agreement, the EU has undertaken to purchase and import from these countries a fixed quantity of sugar cane at a guaranteed price. As a consequence, access by those countries to the EU market currently accounts for some 70% of revenue in their sugar sector and 40% of their sugar exports, although the figures vary from one region to another. Sugar Protocol countries in the Caribbean and Pacific and Mauritius are, for example, far more dependent on the European market than African countries. Such favoured access has had an impact on investment in ACP countries, and has therefore played a very significant role in their economic and social situation.

The proposed reform of the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector should considerably reduce the EU price for sugar and, therefore, also the guaranteed price paid to ACP Sugar Protocol countries. In many cases these new market conditions should have far‑reaching economic, social and even environmental consequences. Guyana, where sugar production represents 17% of GDP and the industry employs around 35 000 people, is a striking example of a country adversely affected by the EU reform, which is likely to lead to the closure of two factories and the direct loss of 8 000 jobs. In total, ACP countries estimate that the EU proposals will lead to an annual loss to their economies of EUR 400 million, with many of their leaders declaring that the reform is too swift, too far-reaching and is being carried out too early. ACP countries would prefer a less sharp reduction in prices and more staggered implementation, with entry into force being put back to not before 2008.

4. Rapporteur's position

The internal aspects of the reform of the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector will undoubtedly give rise to a debate on a number of issues, including that of the level of price cuts, procedures for implementing the reform and compensation for European farmers. These issues will be addressed in the Committee on Development by Mrs Kinnock in her opinion on the reform proposals for the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development.

As far as the specific subject of this report is concerned, namely the accompanying measures to be implemented in 2006, your rapporteur agrees on the urgent need for assistance for Sugar Protocol countries to enable them to anticipate as much as possible the effects of the reform of the sugar sector, converting and restructuring their industry.

Several Sugar Protocol countries are already at an advanced stage in devising their national strategies, and it is therefore essential to provide them with financial assistance enabling them to implement the strategies as early as possible, as from January 2006. In the case of countries that have not yet devised an appropriate strategy, it is essential to make available to them the necessary financial assistance to allow them to carry out their preparations under the best conditions.

In these circumstances, your rapporteur considers that the financial reference amount proposed by the Commission of EUR 40 million for the year 2006 is decidedly inadequate to meet the immediate needs of these countries.

Your rapporteur is aware that the budget proposed by the Commission for the first year is of a preparatory nature, essentially intended to enable the most well-prepared countries to introduce the first concrete measures. Nonetheless, your rapporteur considers that this budget should be increased, and is therefore proposing an amount of EUR 80 million for the year 2006.

ACP countries that have already taken steps to adapt their sugar industry in anticipation of the EU reform of the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector should not be penalised. It is essential that measures in the process of being implemented receive Community assistance if they are clearly in line with the objectives of enhancing the competitiveness of the sugar and cane sector, where this is a sustainable process, and/or of promoting the economic diversification of sugar-dependent areas and/or of addressing broader impacts of the adaptation process. Likewise, it is essential that the cost of the financial impacts of social plans which have already been implemented but are in line with the objectives laid down in this Regulation may also be borne by the EU. It is for that reason that your rapporteur is proposing that multi‑annual strategies may incorporate measures in the process of being implemented and current and future financial impacts of social plans already implemented.

In the event that the Development Cooperation and Economic Cooperation Instrument does not enter into force on 1 January 2007, it is essential to provide for the validity of this regulation to be extended, so as to prevent the funding of adjustment programmes from being suspended for several months. In that event, ACP countries must be given guarantees of the amount of aid to be provided for the additional period. For that reason, in such circumstances, your rapporteur is proposing that the period of validity of this Regulation be automatically extended and that the annual financial reference amount be set at double that adopted for the year 2006.

Finally, ACP countries need long-term predictability in order to be able to devise the multi‑annual strategy required by the EU under satisfactory conditions. For that reason, it is also essential to ensure that the amount provided for in the 2007-2013 Financial Perspective is adequate, bearing in mind the scale of the impact of the reform of the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector in the countries concerned and the necessary costs of adaptation.

'Rapporteur' għal opinjoni: Janusz Lewandowski

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

The Commission asked for extra resources amounting to EUR 123 million in its preliminary draft budget for 2006. This only corresponded to a partial financing of the tsunami reconstruction (EUR 180 million pledged for 2006). The European Parliament already deemed this unsatisfactory in its July resolution before the first budgetary conciliation, as it would imply reductions for some other policies. This was most clearly manifest in the dramatic reduction of the human rights programme proposed by the Commission.

This funding-gap leading to reductions was present even before any appropriations were entered for this new support action following sugar reform.

The Council has refused any use of the flexibility instrument and has therefore cut other programmes not only to the tune of the EUR 123 million mentioned above but, additionally, also making room for the additional EUR 40 million requested by the Commission in this proposal.

In addition to the serious situation for Human Rights, there are now substantial across-the-board cuts over many budget chapters, including geographical regions such as Asia, TACIS, Latin America and MEDA and thematic actions such as NGO cooperation.

The Committee on Budgets therefore considers that the proposal is currently incompatible with the financial ceiling and could only be financed in the context of an overall solution for external actions with the Council.
