Avrupa Birliği Ortak Tarım Politikası içinde yer alan şeker politikası,
topluluğun kurulduğu günden itibaren topluluk bütçesi için maliyetli bir politika
olmuştur. Bu maliyetli şeker politikası ile oluşan yük; vergileriyle topluluk
bütçesini finanse eden üye ülke vatandaşlarına yüklenirken, bu durumdan büyük
çiftlik sahipleri ile göreceli olarak ACP ve Balkan ülkeleri gibi bazı az gelişmiş
ülkeler fayda sağlamaktadır. Avrupa Birliğinin oluşumunun ilk yıllarında ortak
bir tarım politikasına çok önem verilmiştir. Yine diğer politikalarda olduğu gibi
tarım politikası oluştururken, Avrupa bütçesine yük oluşturan çeşitli finansal
fonlar kullanılmaktadır.' Bu makalede, şekerin tanımı, tarihi durumu, Avrupa
Birliği Ortak tarım politikası içinde şeker politikasının rolünü, şeker sektörünün
sorunlarını, çözüm önerilerini ve ilerideki reform seçeneklerini inceleyeceğiz. Bu
çalışma Avrupa Birliği üyelik aşamasında olan Türkiye'nin,Avrupa Birliği şeker
politikasından nasıl yararlanacağını görmek açısından yararlı olacaktır.

Year 2007,
Volume: 57 Issue: 2, 49 - 71, 26.01.2012
Sugar policy which involved in Common Agricultural Policy of European
Union, since establishing community, it has been huge burden on union budget.
This burden stems from costly sugar policy is allocated among citizens of member
states who pay taxes to finance union budget, however large farm owners and
relatively least developed countries such as ACP, Western Balkans countries
make use of sugar policy of European Union. Since the early years of European
Union, more importance has been given to Common Agricultural policy. They use
several financal funds which burden on European budget like other policies. In
this article, we investigate definition of sugar, and its historical aspects, problems
of sugar sector, solutions and future reform scenarios. Also, this study is useful to
illustrate how Turkey benefit from this policy on the eve of its accession of
European Union.
