Hoge suikertarieven reden tot zorg
Bron: ConfectioneryNews, 31 augustus 2023 :
De BDSI (Bundesverband der Deutschen Süsswarenindustrie) heeft de Europese Unie opgeroepen om hoge suikertarieven te hervormen om middelgrote bedrijven concurrerend te houden.
"In this extremely tense situation for the confectionery industry in Germany and the EU, the EU Commission must finally act and open the European market for white sugar imports in the short term," aldus Bastian Fassin, voorzitter van de BDSI.
"Despite the high sugar prices, the EU's sugar production is still far too low and the supply situation is at risk. This clearly shows that this is not possible without further import quotas or the suspension of the protectionist EU protective tariff."
