欧洲的糖生产配额制度限制了它的生产量,并对糖的价格、欧洲以外的进口和甜味剂的使用进行了规定。由于这些规定已不合时宜,超过45年的配额制度将于2017年终结。从2010年起,欧洲每年甜菜糖的总产量为1330万公吨,分给欧盟成员国。糖生产配额制度规定了甜菜糖的最低价以及白糖的指导价。此次改革将提高生产限额并解除价格限制。由于配额外的糖必须用于制药或生物燃料等工业用途,造成了欧洲甜菜短缺的假象,人为提高了甜菜批发价格,因此,该配额制度一直为人诟病。
The European system of quotas for sugar production limits its production and regulates the price of sugar, imports outside Europe and the use of sweeteners. As these provisions are outdated, the quota system for more than 45 years will come to an end in 2017. From 2010 onwards, the total beet sugar output in Europe is 13.3 million metric tons a year, distributed to EU member states. The quota system for sugar production stipulates the lowest beet sugar price and the guide price for sugar. The reform will raise production quotas and lift prices. The quota system has been criticized for the extra sugar as it has to be used in industrial applications such as pharmaceuticals or biofuels, creating the illusion of a shortage of beet in Europe and artificially increasing the wholesale price of beets.
