EU Transparency Register
50465929991-70 First registered on 25 Oct 2012
Goals / Remit
The main activity of the EU Affairs team is to try and establish a level playing field for cane sugar and beet sugar as regards the EU legislative framework.
Tate & Lyle Sugars is a historic and cherished brand in the sugar market in Europe. Specialists in cane sugar refining, the business has around 1,200 direct and contract employees manufacturing sugar at our two refineries and associated manufacturing sites in Europe.
Tate & Lyle Sugars is almost unique in Europe in focusing solely on cane sugar. Our cane sugar supply chain stretches across developing countries around the world.
In Europe, sugar is manufactured from both sugar beet and sugar cane. The two models have co-existed since the early 1800s. A competing sweetener, isoglucose manufactured from cereals, now also plays a role in the European sugar market.
Sugar is a heavily regulated market in Europe. Cane sugar currently accounts for around 17% of the total sugar and isoglucose availability in Europe. B (...)Main EU files targeted
Main EU initiatives include:
- campaigning for a level playing field in the EU sugar market, in particular as regards access to raw material for cane sugar refiners
- building relationships with Members of the European Parliament, in particular following the introduction of co-decision in European Agriculture policy
- building relationships with the European Commission and the Permanent Representations in Brussels
- following various international trade dossiers
- following various development dossiers
