Abstract
The European Sugar Policy Following the GATT Agreements. An Analysis of Some Development Scenarios by Patricia Combette, Éric Giraud-Héraud and Vincent Réquillart Much criticism has been made of the common organisation of the sugar market based on a quota system. The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a study of possible reforms to the common organisation of the sugar market. The presentation of its COM characteristics highlights the role of taxes in production choices and in the transmission of global price variations on the internal sugar market. The article studies the effect on producer surpluses of a reduction in the European quota, the creation of a single quota and the effect of adapting to the constraints imposed by the GATT. A reduction in the overall quota to comply with these constraints brings about an increase in producer surpluses.
