OPROR MOD SUKKERKVOTER
Article Abstract:
Six Danish trade organisations, which include sugar consuming industries such as soft drinks, candies and cookies, request that the EU's sugar quota system is changed. The present system generates prices which are nearly 150% over the world market price; at the moment, the price for 100 kilos of sugar is ECU 66.5 in the EU and ECU 26 on the world market. The trade organisations request of the Danish Food Minister Henrik Dam Kristensen to raise the issue before the EU's Ministers of Agriculture this week. Mogens Granborg, CEO of the Danish sugar producer Danisco, doesn't believe the EU will change the system, and adds that the additional revenue goes to beet cultivators.

MEXICO:DANISCO POSSIBLY INTERESTED IN REFINERIES
Article Abstract:
The Danish group Danisco is possibly interested in acquiring the nine sugar refineries in Mexico which the major sugar producer Caze is planning to sell off. Analyst Eva Quiroga, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, says it's uncertain whether Danisco is interested or not, as the Mexican market is characterized by overcapacity and Danisco's know-how is not likely to be what is needed in the sugar-cane based Mexican industry. CEO Alf Durch-Pedersen, Danisco, doesn't wish to comment the issue.
