COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2015/1538

of 23 June 2015

supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to import licence applications, release for free circulation and proof of refining of sugar products of CN code 1701 under preferential agreements, for the marketing years 2015/16 and 2016/17 and amending Commission Regulations (EC) No 376/2008 and (EC) No 891/2009

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 177(1)(b), Article 177(2)(a), (b) and (e), and Article 192(4) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 has repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (2) and laid down specific rules for the import and refining of sugar products. Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 empowers the Commission to adopt delegated and implementing acts in that respect. In order to ensure the smooth functioning of the system of import and refining of sugar products of CN code 1701 under preferential agreements in the new legal framework, certain rules have to be adopted by means of such acts. The new rules should replace the implementing rules laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 828/2009 (3) that will expire on 30 September 2015. |

| (2) | In order to ensure the proper functioning of the imports under preferential agreements, to avoid speculation and to allow the specific import regime for raw sugar for refining provided for in Article 192 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, the requirements to be fulfilled when applying for import licences for imports under such preferential agreements should continue to apply. |

In order to ensure that sugar for refining imported in accordance with Article 192 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 is actually refined, importers should commit to refine it within a certain period.

| (6) | The distinction between ‘sugar intended for refining’ and ‘sugar not intended for refining’ is not linked to the distinction between ‘white sugars’ and ‘raw sugars’ as defined in points 1 and 2 of Section A of Part II of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. Therefore, the CN codes authorised for imports under each group of import licences should be identified. |

Therefore, the CN codes authorised for imports under each group of import licences should be identified.

| (7) | The obligation to refine sugar should be verified by the Member States. If the original holder of the import licence is not able to provide the proof of refining having taken place, a penalty should be paid. All imported sugar refined by an approved operator should be based on an import licence for sugar for refining. Quantities for which such proof cannot be given should be charged a penalty. Such penalty should allow for non-compliance of a minor nature and therefore a 5 % tolerance should be accepted. The same 5 % tolerance should be accepted for sugar for refining imported under a tariff quota in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 (5). |

Sugar imported for refining needs specific monitoring by the Member States. Therefore operators should specify as from the import licence application if the imported sugar is intended for refining or not.

| (10) | For licences valid until 30 September for which the sugar was loaded at the latest by 15 September, small delays in the logistic chain other than force majeure could lead to physical imports after 30 September. To avoid the risk of paying the full import duty and the forfeit of the security, importers should be given the possibility to import that sugar loaded at the latest by 15 September of a marketing year based on an import licence issued for that marketing year. Therefore Member States should extend the validity of the import licence if the importer submits proof that the sugar was loaded at the latest by 15 September. |
