En sådan form for sukkerproduktion kan ikke være den målestok, som den europæiske sukkerproduktion skal sammenlignes med. Argumentet om, at forbrugerne i Europa ville profitere af en nedsættelse af sukkerpriserne, imponerer mig ikke, for selv om korn i dag ikke engang koster en tredjedel af det, det kostede for 40 år siden, er prisen på brød mangedoblet i samme periode.
Such a way of producing sugar cannot be the yardstick against which European sugar production is to be compared. The argument that consumers in Europe would stand to gain from reduced sugar prices is one that leaves me cold, for, although cereals now cost not even one-third of what they did 40 years ago, the price of bread has multiplied over the same period of time.
