Agricultural prices 1995/1996: intervention prices for white and raw sugar, minimum prices for A and B beet

The European Parliament rejected the request by its Committee on Agriculture for a 1% increase in agricultural prices for 1995/96. The EP approved the proposal with the following amendments: in addition to the adjustment of A and B quotas to actual consumption in the Union, Parliament: - recommended that the EAGGF should continue to bear the cost of production refunds on the first 60 000 tonnes of sugar to be used in the chemical industry; - called for the system currently used to reimburse storage costs for C sugar to be retained; - proposed setting the reimbursement of storage costs at ECU 0.52 per 100 kg of white sugar per month. �
