Guyana welcomes EU sugar quota extension
Jan 31, 2013
GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – Guyana has welcomed a vote in the European Parliament Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development which supports the extension of the current quota provisions until 30 September 2020.
Agriculture Minister Dr. Leslie Ramsammy has described the decision to extend the sugar quota from 2015 to 2020 as a “welcomed decision.
“There has been extensive lobbying and many in Guyana and the Caribbean believed that the Government and the other Governments that joined in the lobby were wasting their time that the Europeans will not extend their time beyond 2016. We believed that the European leaders would have listened to reason”.
