SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes new EU country specific sugar assessments

Platts invites feedback on a proposal to launch on Friday, July 1, a series of weekly white sugar assessments reflecting the delivered value in various countries in the European Union. The countries include: the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Northern Italy, Southern Italy, Spain and Greece.

Platts intends the new assessments to be published in Kingsman EU Sugar Market Report, on Platts Agriculture Alert and in Platts Market Data, alongside the existing regional, Western and Mediterranean delivered spot price delivered campaign series, in Eur/mt. The country specific delivered assessments will be supported by the same methodology currently used for the regional assessments, and will be considered in the range of data used for assessment purposes of the existing regional assessments.

Please send any comments or questions by Friday, May 20, to europe_ags@spglobal.com with a CC to pricemethodology@spglobal.com

For written comments, please provide a clear indication if comments are not intended for publication by Platts for public viewing. Platts will consider all comments received and will make comments not marked as confidential available upon request.
