The Committee of European Sugar Users (CIUS) issued a position following the suspension of sugar imports from Ukraine into EU countries, a measure it finds “economically unjustified for sugar and incoherent with the EU’s promise to support Ukraine.”
CIUS, the European Sugar Users Association of the food and drink industries and CAOBISCO, the Association of the Chocolate, Biscuits and Confectionery Industries of the EU, have been following with great interest discussions between the EU and Mercosur – the Southern Common Market. CIUS and CAOBISCO encourage the European Commission to conclude and ratify as soon as possible the agreed FTA with Mercosur.
