Notice to importers

Imports of sugar from the Western Balkans into the European Union

2013/C 266/05

By a notice to importers published in the Official Journal C 152 of 26.6.2002, p. 14, the Commission informed EU traders presenting documentary evidence of origin with a view to securing preferential treatment for sugar of tariff headings CN 1701 and CN 1702 from the Western Balkans to take all necessary precautions, since the release of the goods in question for free circulation could give rise to a customs debt and lead to fraud against the EU’s financial interests. The notice was based on the rapid and significant increase in preferential imports of sugar from certain countries in the Western Balkans, while those countries had shown a deficit in sugar production. At the same time, exports of sugar from the EU to the Western Balkans had increased by roughly the same level. This development of trade appeared to be highly artificial and was seen as an indication pointing to the possibility of fraud.

Certain measures to remedy this situation have meanwhile been introduced.

The conditions for a proper functioning of preferential arrangements for sugar of tariff headings CN 1701 and CN 1702 imported from the Western Balkans into the European Union having thus been restored, the notice to importers published in the Official Journal C 152 of 26.6.2002, p. 14, is hereby withdrawn.
