Forthcoming Changes in EU Sugar: Options For An Effective Competitiveness Package For Trinidad and Tobago – Delegation of the European Union/DFID
This study examined the challenges faced by Trinidad and Tobago in continuing the production of sugar-cane in the light of the decision of the European Union, in July of 2005, to reduce the guaranteed price paid for sugar to ACP and European producers.
The principal objective of the study was to identify a detailed menu of options (including potential levels of finance/disbursement mechanisms, targets for disbursements, as well as potential reimbursement of funds already spent on restructuring) for an effective restructuring package for Trinidad and Tobago, that will address the impact of the EU reform at the economic, social and environmental level.
