„"Four large coffee companies buy nearly half the world's crop and make huge profits but we calculate only around 5% of the retail price reaches the farmer.

„Raw materials purchased in expensive dollars, are then turned into steel priced in sterling and have to compete against cheaper Euro-zone competition. These same circumstances have taken a toll in other industries, such as motor components, consumer electronics and textiles, with major firms like Krupps Camford, Sony, Alcan, Panasonic and Courtaulds all being forced to cut back heavily. Significantly, membership of the euro stopped being seen as a panacea to industry's troubles. The UK enjoyed a healthy trade surplus against euro-zone economies; evidence that, despite the travails of manufacturing, "UK Plc" continued to enjoy a period of relative buoyancy.“
