Whereas:
(1)
In order to ensure that the supply necessary for the production of the products referred to in Article 62(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 is available at a price that corresponds to the world price, it is in the interest of the Union to suspend the import duties on sugar intended for the production of those products for the 2012/2013 marketing year, for a quantity that would correspond to half of its industrial sugar needs.
