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
point (a) of the first subparagraph of Article 19 (4)
thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Monetary
Committee,
Whereas Article 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81
provides that the difference between quotations or
prices on the world market for the products listed in
Article 1 ( 1 ) (a) of that Regulation and prices for those
products within the Community may be covered by an
export refund ;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 766/68 of 18
June 1968 laying down general rules for granting
export refunds on sugar (3), as last amended by Regula
tion (EEC) No 1489/76 (4), provides that when refunds
on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in
the natural state, are being fixed account must be
taken of the situation on the Community and world
markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost
factors set out in Article 3 of that Regulation ; whereas
the same Article provides that the economic aspect of
the proposed exports should also be taken into
account ;
Whereas the refund on raw sugar must be fixed in
respect of the standard quality ; whereas the latter is
defined in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No
431 /68 of 9 April 1968 determining the standard
quality for raw sugar and fixing the Community fron
tier crossing point for calculating cif prices for
sugar (*) ; whereas, furthermore, this refund should be
fixed in accordance with Article 5 (2) of Regulation
(EEC) No 766/68 ; whereas candy sugar is defined in
Commission Regulation (EEC) No 394/70 of 2 March
1970 on detailed rules for granting export refunds on
sugar (*), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No
1 467/77 (J) ; whereas the refund thus calculated for
aromatized sugars or for sugars with colouring added
must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly,
be fixed per 1 % of the said content ;
Whereas the world market situation or the specific
requirements of certain markets may make it necessary
to vary the refund for sugar according to destination ;
Whereas, in special cases, the amount of the refund
may be fixed by other legal instruments ;
Whereas, if the refund system is to operate normally,
refunds 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,
— for other currencies, an exchange rate based on the
arithmetic mean of the spot market rates of each of
these currencies recorded for a given period in
relation to the Community currencies referred to
in the previous indent ;
Whereas the refund must be fixed every two weeks ;
whereas it may be altered in the intervening period ;
Whereas it follows from applying the rules set out
above to the present situation on the market in sugar
and in particular to quotations or prices for sugar
within the Community and on the world market that
the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto ;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation
are in accordance with the opinion of the Management
