Amendment 5

ARTICLE 1, POINT 6

Article 19a, paragraph 1, subparagraph 2a (new) (Regulation (EC) No 318/2006)

For the application of this Article, the possible withdrawal percentage for the 2009/2010 marketing year shall be reduced by the corresponding percentage for those Member States which decided in the 2008/2009 marketing year to definitively suspend their sugar quotas by the same percentage as the temporary reductions as laid down in Annex III.

ANNEX

Annex VIII, paragraph 2a (new) (Regulation (EC) No 318/2006)

2a. During the 2008/2009 marketing year, if a Member State renounces a percentage of the quota in excess of the withdrawal percentage set on 16 March 2007 in Article 1(1) or Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 290/2007, the quota tonnage corresponding to the difference between the percentage renounced in 2008/2009 and the percentage of withdrawal shall be deducted in full from the final cut.

Within a Member State, this provision shall apply in the same way to the benefit of undertakings which have renounced a percentage of their quota in excess of the withdrawal percentage set on 16 March 2007 in Article 1(1) or Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 290/2007 for their Member State.
