And the US charges 88% tariffs on sugar imports over quota, while the EU has no sugar quota.

It's very easy to cherry-pick particular tariffs, but the truth of the matter is that maximum tariffs are generally constrained by international agreements that have lots and lots of horse-trading over what is accepted. When you look at all products, the US doesn't look particularly generous compared to the EU. Source: https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2018/06/14/h...

I've seen aggregate value measures which clearly demonstrate the EU as more protectionist.

It should also be pointed out that the EU has sugar tariffs which is why beet sugar is big in Europe.
