(15) Appropriate measures should be taken to allow for the necessary restructuring of the sugar processing sector in the Azores. These measures should take into account the fact that, in order for the sugar sector on the Azores to be viable, a certain level of production and processing needs to be ensured. Against this background, the Azores should exceptionally, be permitted to dispatch to the rest of the Union quantities of sugar in excess of traditional flows for a limited period of five years, subject to progressively reducing annual limits. Because the quantities that may be re-dispatched will be proportional and limited to those strictly necessary for ensuring the viability of local sugar production and processing, such temporary dispatching of sugar from the Azores will not adversely affect the internal market of the Union.
