Negative impact on the environment is highlighted

20 May 2004

 A report drawn up for DG Agriculture by the Institute for European
 Policy argues that the EU sugar regime has encouraged intensive
 sugar production in ways which are environmentally damaging. According
 to the report the sugar regime has helped to keep in place intensive
 production systems associated with high environmental risks. The
 overall environmental effect however would depend on the alternative
 uses to which sugar lands were put.
