S E C 583. (a) For the purpose of this Act Congress finds that the cultivation and processing of sugar cane is a significant part of the economy of a number of friendly foreign nations that have traditionally exported raw sugar to the United States for refining and marketing. The sugar production and marketing policies of sugar exporting countries, other than the CBI and the Philippines, notably the EEC, has resulted in the surplus production of sugar and the dumping of sugar on world markets, thereby depressing prices to levels below the cost of production. Because of the changes occurring in the United States market for sweeteners, the export market for raw sugar produced in the CBI and Philippines has been severely ^^ restricted. In accordance with the purposes of this Act, efforts shall be made by the United States to provide assistance that helps to maintain a viable sugar industry in these countries. By conducting a special reexport program for sugar, effectively utilizing CCC-owned commodities, the friendly sugar-producing nations of the Caribbean Basin and the Philippines are helped more effectively than they are through section 416 commodity program assistance, and the sugar refining industry in the United States is able to retain a viable level of productive capacity. (b) The Secretary of Agriculture shall issue regulations for fiscal year 1988 that set forth the terms and conditions of a special export enhancement program for a quantity of refined sugar produced in the United States equal to the quantity of raw sugar imported from beneficiary countries as defined in the Caribbean Basin Initiative •» Copy read "severly".
