Impacts of WTO restrictions on subsidized EU sugar exports
研究评估了WTO限制对欧盟糖业和世界糖市场的影响,发现小幅削减生产配额即可满足乌拉圭回合的出口补贴限制,而完全取消补贴需更大调整。
The study evaluates the impact of World Trade Organization (WTO) restrictions on the European Union (EU) sugar sector and the world sugar market. A small reduction in production quotas would be sufficient to satisfy the export subsidy limitations of the Uruguay Round agreement. Complete elimination of export subsidies by 2005 would require either a 10% reduction in production quotas or the combination of an 8% reduction in quotas and an 11% reduction in intervention prices. Higher world prices resulting from reduced EU exports would result in increased production of unsubsidized C-sugar, with different impacts across EU member countries explained by differences in institutional pricing arrangements and marginal production costs.
