COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1403/1999
of 24 June 1999
fixing, for the 1999/2000 marketing year, certain sugar prices and the standard quality of beet
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector(1), and in particular Articles 2(3), 3(4) and 4(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(4),
Whereas:
(1) When sugar prices are fixed, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agriculture policy; the objectives of the common agricultural policy are in particular to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, to assure the availability of supplies and ensure that they reach consumers at reasonable prices;
(2) In order to attain these objectives, the target price for sugar must be fixed at a level which, taking into account in particular the resultant level of the intervention price, ensures a fair remuneration for beet and sugar cane producers while at the same time respecting consumers' interests, and which is likely to maintain a balance between the prices of the principal agricultural products;
(3) As a result of the characteristics of the sugar market, the risks involved in this trade are relatively slight; consequently, when the intervention price for sugar is being fixed, the difference between the target price and the intervention price may be fixed at a relatively low level;
(4) The basic price for beet must take account of the intervention price, revenue to undertakings as a result of the sale of molasses, which can be valued at EUR 7,61 per 100 kilograms, that amount being derived from the molasses price referred to in Article 14(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81, the latter being valued at EUR 8,21 per 100 kilograms, and of the costs of processing and delivering the beet to factories and be based on an estimated Community yield of 130 kilograms of white sugar per tonne of beet with a 16 % sugar content,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. The target price for white sugar shall be EUR 66,50 per 100 kilograms.
2. The intervention price for white sugar shall be EUR 63,19 per 100 kilograms for the non-deficit areas of the Community.
Article 2
The basic price applicable in the Community for beet shall be EUR 47,67 per tonne delivered at the collection centre.
Article 3
Standard quality beet shall:
(a) be of sound, genuine and merchantable quality;
(b) have a sugar content of 16 % at the reception point.
Article 4
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall be applicable for the 1999/2000 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1307/2003(3) lays down the conditions under which applications for import licences lodged for the period from 1 July to 31 December 2003 can be accepted.
(2) All the available quantities of beef and veal products originating in Poland and Hungary (quota number 09.4707) that can be imported under special conditions in the period from 1 July to 30 December 2003, as provided for in the first paragraph of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1279/98, have been used up.

Whereas:
(1) Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 provides that the Commission is to determine the overrun in the maximum guaranteed area and to fix the definitive aid for the marketing year in question.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1948/2006
of 21 December 2006
fixing the export refunds on syrups and certain other sugar products exported without further processing
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 market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 33(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(c), (d) and (g) of that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2)
Given the present situation on the sugar market, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 32 and 33 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3)
The first subparagraph of Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.
(4)
Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that comply with the requirements of Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 of 30 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector (2).
(5)
The negotiations within the framework of the Europe Agreements between the European Community and Romania and Bulgaria aim in particular to liberalise trade in products covered by the common organisation of the market concerned. For those two countries export refunds should therefore be abolished.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. Export refunds as provided for in Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the conditions provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.

Whereas it has proved necessary to reconsider all the problems relating to the fixing of prices for the 1991/92 marketing year, which will involve delay in the fixing of these prices; whereas it is therefore necessary to fix the guide price for dried fodder products provisionally for the period 27 May to 16 June 1991,

Notwithstanding Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1117/78, for the period 27 May to 16 June 1991 the guide price for the products referred to in the first and third indents of Article 1 (b) of that Regulation shall be provisionally fixed at:
