Editorial says: This week's condemnation of European Union sugar subsidies by a World Trade Organisation disputes panel strikes a blow for justice and good sense. The grossly distortive and wasteful EU sugar regime is an affront to free trade principles. As well as speeding its demise, the WTO decision should add to the impetus imparted to the Doha trade round by last weekend's deal on a negotiating framework.
