translate English to French: The Commission's ban on the sending of sugar consignments to the EU by refineries which do not have agreements with the European cartel amounts to a substantial reinforcement of this cartel's power.
La Commission, en interdisant l'exportation de sucre vers l'Europe à des raffineries qui n'ont pas conclu d'accords avec le cartel européen, contribue à renforcer significativement le pouvoir de ce dernier.
