THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1) and in particular Article 64(2) and Article 187, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 9(3) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 222/2011 (2) provides that if the remaining quantities of out of quota sugar or isoglucose of a producer are less than the quantities for which that producer applied for under that Regulation, the producer has to pay an amount of EUR 500/tonne on that difference. |
