Sugar Control in Europe 
According to a writer in Facts About 
Sugar, with lower world prices the tendency 
to decontrol in Europe is increasing. 
Belgium is expected to discontinue control 
at the end of the current crop season, re- 
taining only provisions against excessive 
exports in case the domestic supplies should 
fall short. The duty against foreign sugars 
may be increased. In Germany it is also 
rather expected that there will be practical 
decontrol at the end of this season. The 
consumption duty in Holland may be 
raised 6 to 7%. Roumania is to have a 
government monopoly for sugar, the gov- 
ernment to buy the domestic production 
from the refiners at the average value of 
Czech, French, Belgium and Italian sugars, 
and supply it to home consumers with 
about 36% surtax added. In Denmark 
maximum prices for sugar will be discon- 
tinued after October 1 this year, and sub- 
sidized supplies for household use stopped. 
After November 1 the import prohibition 
on sugar will be removed.
