IMPACT OF THE EU SUGAR REGIME ON BCCCA MEMBER COMPANIES
production, consumption and trade (Section 3.2) and its impact on UK BCCC employment (Section
3.3).
Part B goes on to assess the likely future impact of a reformed EU sugar regime on the UK biscuit,
cake, chocolate and confectionery manufacturing sector. An overview of the options for reforming
the CMO for sugar and the timetable for reform is presented in Section 4. Section 5 analyses the
impact of each of the reform options (‘status quo’ (Section 5.1.1), ‘fixed quota’ (Section 5.1.2), ‘price
reduction’ (Section 5.1.3) and ‘liberalisation’ (Section 5.1.4)) on the EU sugar sector and assesses the
implication of each option for the UK BCCC sector.
