| (10) | In the case of the preferential sugar referred to in the ACP Protocol and in the Agreement with India, given that unforeseeable delays may occur between the loading of a consignment of sugar and its delivery, a certain tolerance should be permitted in the application of the delivery periods to take account of such delays. In addition, given that this sugar is covered, according to the agreements concerned, by delivery obligations and not by tariff quotas, provision should be made, in accordance with current trade practices, for a certain tolerance to apply to the total quantities delivered during a delivery period and on the date which that period commences. |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 951/2006

of 30 June 2006

laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Articles 23(4) and 40(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 establishes provisions applicable to import and export licences, the granting of export refunds and the management of imports in the sugar sector. With a view to improving the transparency of the rules applicable to trade with third countries in the sugar sector, the detailed rules for the application of those provisions should be brought together in one single regulation. |

With a view to improving the transparency of the rules applicable to trade with third countries in the sugar sector, the detailed rules for the application of those provisions should be brought together in one single regulation.

| (2) | Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides for the possibility to grant refunds on exports to third countries in order to cover the difference between the prices on the world market and prices within the Community. |

(2)

Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides for the possibility to grant refunds on exports to third countries in order to cover the difference between the prices on the world market and prices within the Community.

| (3) | In order to ensure equal treatment as regards the determination of the amount of the export refund, a standard method for determining the sucrose content of certain products should be laid down. It is also necessary to establish specific criteria to cover cases where the standard method does not allow the total sucrose content to be determined. In the case of syrups with a relatively low degree of purity, the sucrose content should be fixed at a flat rate on the basis of the extractable sugar content. |

In the case of syrups with a relatively low degree of purity, the sucrose content should be fixed at a flat rate on the basis of the extractable sugar content.

| (4) | Candy sugar, which is manufactured from white sugar or refined raw sugar, very often has a degree of polarisation of less than 99,5 %. In view of the high degree of purity of the raw material used, the refund on candy sugar should be as close as possible to the refund on white sugar. Therefore a precise definition of candy sugar should be laid down. |

| (6) | Article 23(1) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 lays down that imports into the Community or exports therefrom, of any of the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation, except those under point (h) of that Article, shall be subject to presentation of an import or export licence. Detailed rules should be established for the purpose of determining in particular the information to be indicated in licence applications and in licences, the conditions applicable to the issuing of licences, including the securities to be lodged, as well as the terms of validity of the issued licence. |

| (7) | In accordance with Article 34 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, observance of the export volume commitments resulting from the agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty should be ensured on the basis of the system of export licences. To this end, the licences applied for should be issued following a reflection period enabling the Commission to assess the quantities applied and to take measures in cases where acceptance of the applications in question would result in an overshoot or risk of overshoot of the volume and/or appropriations set in those agreements for the marketing year in question. For this purpose, Member States should be required to notify without delay all applications for licences involving periodic refunds. Applicants for export refunds should be allowed to withdraw their application on certain terms if an acceptance percentage has been set. |

Applicants for export refunds should be allowed to withdraw their application on certain terms if an acceptance percentage has been set.

| (8) | The accurate and regular monitoring of trade with third countries is the only way to monitor developments closely in the light of the constraints arising from the Community's commitments under the agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty and to take, as appropriate, the measures required, in particular for the application of Article 19 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006. Therefore the Commission should receive on a regular basis the relevant information not only on imports and exports of products for which refunds have been fixed, in accordance with Article 32 and 33 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 but also on imports and exports of products exported without refund, with or without a licence in free circulation on the Community market as well as those covered by inward processing arrangements. |

| (11) | For the application of the additional import duty the cif import price of the consignment in question has to be taken into consideration. The cif import price has to be checked against the representative prices for the product concerned on the world market or on the Community import market for that product. To that objective it is necessary to establish the criteria for determining the representative cif import prices for the products to which an additional import duty may be applied. For the determination of the representative cif import prices the Commission should take account of all the information available to it either directly or through the communication of such relevant information by the Member States. |

In that perspective, and taking into account that imports of molasses within this quantitative limit are unlikely to lead to disturbances of the Community market, it is considered inappropriate to impose additional duties on such imports, as this would be contrary to the very purpose of facilitating imports of agricultural products from the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) into the Community. The total import duty applicable to cane molasses originating in those states should therefore be reduced to zero. |

CHAPTER II

EXPORT REFUNDS

Article 3

Determination of the sucrose content of various sugar syrups eligible for export refund

1.   The export refund per 100 kilograms of products listed in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 shall be equal to a basic amount multiplied by the sucrose content of the product in question as determined plus, where applicable, the content of other sugars calculated in sucrose equivalent.

2.   Without prejudice to paragraphs 3 and 4, the sucrose content plus, where applicable, the content of other sugars expressed as sucrose shall be the total sugar content resulting from the application of the Lane and Eynon method (copper reduction method) to the inverted solution in accordance with Clerger-Herzfeld. The total sugar content determined in accordance with that method shall be converted into sucrose by multiplying it by a coefficient of 0,95.

3.   In the case of syrups of a purity of not less than 85 % but less than 94,5 %, the sucrose content plus, where applicable, the content of other sugars expressed as sucrose shall be fixed at a flat rate of 73 % by weight in the dry state. The percentage purity of syrups shall be calculated by dividing the total sugar content by the dry matter content and multiplying the result by 100. The total sugar content shall be determined in accordance with the method referred to in paragraph 2 and the dry matter content in accordance with the areometric method.

4.   In the case of caramel obtained exclusively from non-denatured sugar covered by CN code 1701, the sucrose content plus, where applicable, the content of other sugars expressed as sucrose shall be determined on the basis of the dry matter content. The dry matter content shall be determined on the basis of the density of the diluted solution in a weighted ratio of one to one. The result of the determination of the dry matter content shall be expressed as sucrose by multiplying it by a coefficient of one.

However, on request, to take account of caramel as referred to in the first subparagraph, the actual amount used of sucrose plus, where applicable, the content of other sugars expressed as sucrose may be determined where the candy has been manufactured under a customs warehousing or free zone procedure providing equivalent guarantees.

5.   The basic amount referred to in paragraph 1 shall not apply to syrups with a purity of less than 85 %.

Article 4

Export refund for isoglucose

(e)

is more than 75 % of the trigger price, the additional duty shall be 90 % of the amount over and above 75 %, to which shall be added the additional duties referred to in points (b), (c) and (d).

SECTION 4

Suspension or reduction of import duties for molasses

Article 40

Suspension of the application of the import duties for molasses

Where the molasses representative price referred to in Article 34(2) plus the import duty applicable to cane molasses falling within CN code 1703 10 00, or to beet molasses falling within CN code 1703 90 00, exceed, for the product in question, 8,21 EUR/100 kg, the import duties shall be suspended and replaced by the amount of the difference found by the Commission. This amount shall be fixed at the same time as the representative prices referred to in Article 34(2).

However, where there is a risk that suspension of import duties may have adverse effects on the Community market in molasses, provision may be made in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 39(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 for not applying that suspension for a specific period.

Article 41

Preferential import of molasses

1.   The total import duty applicable to cane molasses falling within CN code 1703 10 00, or to beet molasses falling within CN code 1703 90 00 originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) states, shall be reduced to zero up to a quota limit of 600 000 tonnes per marketing year. However, this quota will amount to 750 000 tonnes in the 2006/2007 marketing year.

2.   For the purposes of this Article, the concept of ‘originating product’ and the administrative cooperation methods shall be those laid down in Protocol No 1 annexed to the Cotonou Agreement.

3.   The tariff quota referred to in the first paragraph shall be managed by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308 c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.

SECTION 5

Calculation of the sucrose content of raw sugar and certain syrups

Article 42

Calculating methods

1.   If the yield of imported raw sugar as determined in accordance with Point III of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 differs from the yield fixed for the standard quality, the customs tariff duty for products falling within CN codes 1701 11 10 and 1701 12 10, and the additional duty for products falling within CN codes 1701 11 10, 1701 11 90, 1701 12 10 and 1701 12 90 to be levied per 100 kilograms of the said raw sugar shall be calculated by multiplying the corresponding duty fixed for raw sugar of the standard quality by a correcting coefficient. The correcting coefficient shall be obtained by dividing the percentage of the yield of the imported raw sugar by 92.

2.   For the products referred to in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, the sucrose content, including other sugars expressed as sucrose, shall be determined by the application of the Lane and Eynon method (copper reduction method) to the solution inverted according to Clerget-Herzfeld. The total sugar content thus determined shall be expressed as sucrose by multiplying by 0,95.

However, the sucrose content, including other sugars expressed as sucrose, of products containing less than 85 % sucrose or other sugars expressed as sucrose, and invert sugar expressed as sucrose shall be determined by ascertaining the dry matter content. The dry matter content shall be determined according to the specific gravity of the solution diluted in a proportion of 1 to 1 by weight and, for solid products, by drying. The dry matter content shall be expressed as sucrose by multiplying by the coefficient 1.

3.   For the products referred to in Article 1(1)(d) and (g) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, the dry matter content shall be determined in accordance with the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 of this Article.

4.   For the products referred to in Article 1(1)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, the conversion into sucrose equivalent shall be obtained by multiplying the dry matter determined in accordance with the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 of this Article by the coefficient 1,9.

of 29 June 2006

laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards the management of the Community market in sugar and the quota system

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 40 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | The application of the quota system in the sugar sector requires a precise definition of an undertaking's production of sugar, isoglucose or inulin syrup. The possibility of allocating part of the production of one undertaking to another undertaking which has had sugar produced under contract should be limited to certain specific cases. |

(1)

The application of the quota system in the sugar sector requires a precise definition of an undertaking's production of sugar, isoglucose or inulin syrup. The possibility of allocating part of the production of one undertaking to another undertaking which has had sugar produced under contract should be limited to certain specific cases.

| (2) | Under Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, Member States grant approval, on request, to undertakings producing sugar, isoglucose or inulin syrup or to undertakings that process these products into a product included in the list referred to in Article 13(2) of that Regulation. The content of the application for approval which sugar, isoglucose and inulin syrup producers and refiners must submit to the competent authorities of the Member States should be specified. The commitments that the undertakings must make in return for approval should be laid down, in particular the obligation to keep an up-to-date record of the quantities of raw materials entering the undertaking, being processed in it and leaving it in the form of an end product. |

Under Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, Member States grant approval, on request, to undertakings producing sugar, isoglucose or inulin syrup or to undertakings that process these products into a product included in the list referred to in Article 13(2) of that Regulation. The content of the application for approval which sugar, isoglucose and inulin syrup producers and refiners must submit to the competent authorities of the Member States should be specified. The commitments that the undertakings must make in return for approval should be laid down, in particular the obligation to keep an up-to-date record of the quantities of raw materials entering the undertaking, being processed in it and leaving it in the form of an end product.

| (3) | It is necessary to lay down Member States' obligations as regards checks on approved undertakings, and to define a sufficiently deterrent system of penalties. |

(3)

It is necessary to lay down Member States' obligations as regards checks on approved undertakings, and to define a sufficiently deterrent system of penalties.

| (4) | Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides for an information system on sugar prices. Under Article 17 of that Regulation, approved undertakings are required to provide information on the quantities of white sugar sold and corresponding prices and conditions. The frequency and content of the information on prices that sugar manufacturers and refiners must draw up for transmission to the Commission should be laid down. To have an indication of the short-term outlook, it would be useful for undertakings to draw up and transmit the forecast average selling prices for the following three months also. Approved undertakings which use sugar for processing into one of the products listed in Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 must also draw up, for transmission to the Commission, the price of the sugar purchased, at the same intervals and in the same format as those laid down for sugar producers. |

SECTION 4

Checks

Article 35

Sample for checking quality

Within the time limit referred to in Article 34, four representative samples shall be taken for analysis either by experts approved by the competent authorities of the Member State concerned or by experts agreed upon by the intervention agency and the seller. One sample shall be given to each of the contracting parties. The other two samples shall be kept by the expert or by a laboratory approved by the competent authorities.

Each sample shall be analysed twice and the mean of the results shall be taken as the result of the analysis of the sample concerned.

Article 36

Disputes over quality

1.   Where there is a difference between the results of the analyses arranged by the seller and the buyer in accordance with Article 35, the arithmetic mean of the two results shall be conclusive for establishing the grade of the sugar concerned if the difference is:

| — | for Grade 1 sugar, no more than one point for each of the characteristics referred to in Article 32(3)(d), |
| --- | --- |

—

for Grade 1 sugar, no more than one point for each of the characteristics referred to in Article 32(3)(d),

| — | for Grade 2 sugar, not greater than two points for each of the characteristics defining that grade which are determined by points. |
| --- | --- |

—

for Grade 2 sugar, not greater than two points for each of the characteristics defining that grade which are determined by points.

However, at the request of either of the contracting parties, an arbitral analysis may be carried out by the laboratory referred to in the first paragraph of Article 35. In that case, the arithmetic mean of the result of the arbitral analysis and of the results of the seller's and the buyer's analyses, whichever is closer to the result of the arbitral analysis, shall be adopted.

This mean shall be conclusive for establishing the grade of the sugar concerned. If the result of the arbitral analysis lies midway between the results of the analyses arranged by the seller and the buyer, the arbitral analysis alone shall be conclusive for establishing the grade of the sugar concerned.

2.   Where the difference observed between the results of the analyses arranged by the seller and the buyer in accordance with Article 35 is greater than that indicated in the first or second indent of the first subparagraph of paragraph 1 of this Article, as the case may be, an arbitral analysis shall be carried out by a laboratory approved by the competent authorities. In this case, the procedure provided for in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1 of this Article shall apply.

3.   For disputes concerning the upper limit for the colour type of Grade 3 sugar, polarisation, moisture content or invert sugar content, the procedure laid down in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply.

However, the differences referred to in paragraph 1 shall be replaced by:

| --- | --- |

—

0,01 % for invert sugar content.

4.   In the event of a dispute between the contracting parties over the yield of the raw sugar bought in following the application of Article 35, an arbitral analysis shall be carried out by the laboratory referred to in the first subparagraph of that Article. In that case, the arithmetic mean of the result of the arbitral analysis and the results of either the seller's or the buyer's analysis, whichever is closer to the result of the arbitral analysis, shall be adopted.

This mean shall be conclusive for establishing the yield of the raw sugar concerned. If the result of the arbitral analysis lies midway between the results of the analyses arranged by the seller and the buyer, the arbitral analysis alone shall be conclusive for establishing the yield of the raw sugar concerned.

5.   The costs of an arbitral analysis as referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1 shall be borne by the contracting party requesting the analysis.

The costs of an arbitral analysis as referred to in paragraph 2 shall be shared equally by the intervention agency and the seller.

The costs of an arbitral analysis as referred to in paragraph 3 shall be borne by the contracting party which contested the result of the analysis made under Article 35.
