COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3357/84
of 30 November 1984
fixing the import levies on syrups and certain other products in the sugar sector
between the day on which it is fixed and the first day
of the month following the month for which the basic
amount is applicable, if the levy on white sugar differs
by at least 0,73 ECU from the average referred to
above or from the levy on white sugar used to fix the
basic amount ; whereas, in this case, the basic amount
must be equal to one-hundredth of the levy on white
sugar used to calculate the alteration ;
Whereas the basic amount thus fixed must be adjusted
on the basis of variations in the threshold price for
white sugar occurring between the month in which
the basic amount is fixed and the period of applica
tion ; whereas this adjustment, equal to one-hundredth
of the difference between these two threshold prices,
must be deducted from or added to the basic amount
in the circumstances provided for in Article 7 (6) of
Regulation (EEC) No 837/68 ;
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No
1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization
of the markets in the sugar sector ('), as last amended
by Regulation (EEC) No 606/82 (2), and in particular
Article 16 (8) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Monetary
Committee,
Whereas Article 16 ( 1 ) of Regulation (EEC) No
1785/81 provides for charging a levy on imports of the
products listed in Article 1 ( 1 ) of that Regulation ;
Whereas the levy on the products listed in Article 1 ( 1 )
(d) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 must be calcu
lated, where appropriate, at a standard rate on the basis
of the sucrose content (including other sugars
expressed as sucrose) of the product concerned and of
the levy on white sugar ; whereas, however, the levies
on maple sugar and maple syrup are limited to the
amount resulting from application of the rate of duty
bound within GATT ;
Whereas Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EEC)
No 837/68 of 28 June 1968 on detailed rules for the
application of levies on sugar (3), as last amended by
Regulation (EEC) No 1428 /78 (4), provides that the
basic amount of the levy for 100 kilograms of product
must be fixed per percentage point of sucrose content ;
Whereas the basic amount of the levy must be equal
to one-hundredth of the average of the levies appli
cable to 100 kilograms of white sugar during the first
20 days of the month preceding the month for which
the basic amount of the levy is fixed ; whereas,
however, the levy applicable to white sugar on the day
of the fixing of the basic amount must be substituted
for the average of the levies , where that levy differs by
at least 0,73 ECU from that average ;
Whereas the basic amount must be fixed each month ;
whereas it must, however, be altered during the period
Whereas the levy on the products referred to in Article
1 ( 1 ) (f) and (g) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81
comprises, under Article 16 (6) of that Regulation, a
variable element and a fixed element, with the latter,
per 100 kilograms of dry matter, being equal to one
tenth of the fixed element established pursuant to
point B of Article 14 ( 1 ) of Regulation (EEC) No
2727/75 (*) for the fixing of the import levy on the
products falling within subheading 17.02 B II of the
Common Customs Tariff, and the variable element,
per 100 kilograms of dry matter, being equal to one
hundred times the basic import levy applicable as
from the first of each month in the case of the
products listed in Article 1 ( 1 ) (d) of Regulation (EEC)
No 1785/81 ; whereas the levy must be fixed each
month ;
Whereas, if the levy system is to operate normally,
levies should be calculated on the following basis :
— in the case of currencies which are maintained in
relation to each other at any given moment within
a band of 2,25 % , a rate of exchange based on
their central rate , multiplied by the coefficient
provided for in Article 2b (2) of Regulation (EEC)

in the previous indent, and the aforesaid coeffi
cient ;
Whereas it follows from the application of these provi
sions that the import levies on the products concerned
should be as indicated in the Annex to this Regula
tion,
