The draft proposals have already received strong criticism from representatives of the sugar industry, who maintain that they are seriously flawed. The absence of a clause that guarantees producers reimbursement for storage costs, a costly feature of trading with the EU, where interest rates are higher, has been particularly criticised.
Critics also argue that it is a mistake to give the treasury shares in sugar production, and to grant planters quotas for beet production, because the EU grants licenses for a number of years.
Proponents of the bill have dismissed industry concerns, however, stating that members of the sugar industry have not yet seen the second draft of the legislation, with all its amendments.
