GENEVA, Switzerland, Oct. 15 (UPI) -- The World Trade Organization ruled Friday the European Union broke trade rules by subsidizing sugar producers.
The Geneva-based agency said that the EU's practice was making it impossible for sugar producers that had no European backing to compete in international markets.
The complaints were filed by Brazil, Australia and Thailand, which are all major sugar producers.
The EU, however, said it would appeal and its trade commissioner, Pascal Lamy, said: "We will defend the legitimate interests of EU sugar producers and the preferential access enjoyed by developing countries into the EU."
