Abstract:This paper examines reforms to the EU's sugar policy and their implications for the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries. The current preferential trading arrangements interlock the fortunes of sugar producers in the ACP countries with EU farmers. If the EU moves towards a more liberal agricultural trade policy, in line with the objectives of the GATT, then either the extent of price support to EU farmers must decline, or the budgetary cost of support must increase, or some combination of the two. Whichever course the EU chooses to follow, many of the ACP signatories to the Sugar Protocol, whose origins lie in the 1951 Commonwealth Sugar Agreement (CSA), are likely to suffer losses.
