- Comment In October 2009 the sugar protocol between the European Commission and 20 ACP countries came to an end. This meant that sugar exports became free within the limits of a special volume safeguard, which will cease to apply in 2015. After that year sugar will have free access to the EU as any other product under the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) signed in 2008.
