of 19 February 2007
fixing, for the 2005/06 marketing year, the amounts to be paid by sugar manufacturers to beet sellers in respect of the difference between the maximum amount of the base levy and the amount of that levy to be charged
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 18(5) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (2), and in particular Article 44(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 18(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when the amount of the base levy or the amount of the B levy is less than the maximum amount referred to in Articles 15(3) and (4) of that Regulation, revised where necessary in accordance with paragraph 5 of that Article, sugar manufacturers must pay beet sellers 60 % of the difference between the maximum amount of the levy in question and the amount of the base levy or the B levy actually charged. Article 9(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 314/2002 of 20 February 2002 laying down detailed rules for the application of the quota system in the sugar sector (3) which still applies to the production of the 2005/06 marketing year, provides that the aforementioned amounts to be paid shall be fixed at the same time as the production levies and in accordance with the same procedure.
(2)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1296/2005 (4) of 5 August 2005 revising the maximum amount for the B production levy and amending the minimum price for B beet in the sugar sector for the 2005/06 marketing year increased the maximum amount of the B levy to 37,5 % of the intervention price for white sugar. Commission Regulation (EC) No 164/2007 (5) of 19 February 2007 fixing the amounts of production levies for the sugar sector for the 2005/06 marketing year fixed the base levy at 1,0022 % and did not fix a B levy. Due to these differences it is necessary, in accordance with Article 18(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, to fix the amounts to be paid by sugar manufacturers to beet sellers per tonne of A and B standard quality beet.
(3)
The Management Committee for Sugar has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For the 2005/06 marketing year, the amounts specified in Article 18(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 to be paid by sugar manufacturers to beet sellers shall be fixed, per tonne of standard quality beet, at EUR 0,492 for A levy beet and at EUR 18,372 for B levy beet.

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 162(3) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 of 10 November 2006 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 lays down that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. The coefficient is to express the average ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirit drink concerned, on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirit drink in question.
(2)
According to the information provided by the United Kingdom in respect of the period 1 January to 31 December 2007, the average ageing period for Scotch whisky in 2007 was eight years.
(3)
The coefficients for the period 1 October 2008 to 30 September 2009 should therefore be fixed accordingly.
(4)
Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area excludes the grant of refunds in respect of exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Moreover, the Community has concluded agreements abolishing export refunds with certain third countries. Under the terms of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006, this should be taken into account in calculating the coefficients for 2008/09,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For the period 1 October 2008 to 30 September 2009, the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 applying to cereals used in the United Kingdom for manufacturing Scotch whisky shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 October 2008.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides for the possibility of setting an intervention threshold if the market in a product listed in Annex II thereto is suffering or at risk of suffering from widespread structural imbalances giving, or liable to give rise to too large a volume of withdrawals. Such a development would be likely to cause budget problems for the Community;
(2) an intervention threshold was fixed for tomatoes for the 1999 marketing year in Commission Regulation (EC) No 13/1999(3). Since the conditions laid down in the abovementioned Article 27 continue to be met for that product, a new threshold should be set for the 2000 marketing year equal to that set for the 1999 marketing year, and the period to be taken into account for the assessment of the overrun of the threshold should also be determined;
(3) pursuant to the abovementioned Article 27, an overrun of the intervention threshold results in a reduction in the Community withdrawal compensation in the marketing year following the year in which the threshold is exceeded. The consequences of such an overrun should be determined and a reduction in proportion to the size of the overrun fixed, but restricted to a certain percentage;
(4) the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. The intervention threshold for tomatoes for the 2000 marketing year shall be 360000 tonnes.
2. The overrun of the intervention threshold laid down in paragraph 1 shall be assessed on the basis of withdrawals effected between 1 November 1999 and 31 October 2000.
Article 2
If the quantity subject to withdrawals during the period set in Article 1(2) exceeds the threshold set in Article 1(1), the Community withdrawal compensation set in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for the following marketing year shall be reduced in proportion to the size of the overrun based on the production used to calculate the relevant threshold.
However, the reduction in the Community compensation shall not exceed 30 %.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
