reducing, for the 2002/2003 marketing year, the guaranteed quan-
tity under the production quotas scheme for the sugar sector andthe presumed maximum supply needs of sugar refineries under
thepreferential importarrangements
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),
as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in
particular Article 10(6) and Article 39(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)Article 10(3) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 laying
down that the guaranteed quantity under production quotasshould be reduced before 1 October each marketing year if theforecasts for the year in question show an exportable balance(attracting a refund) greater than the maximum laid down by
the Agriculture Agreement concluded under Article 300(2) of
the Treaty.
(2)The forecasts for the 2002/2003 marketing year indicate anexportable balance exceeding the maximum laid down by theAgreement for that year. It is therefore necessary to fix thedifference by which this guaranteed quantity is to be reduced
and then to divide it up between sugar, isoglucose and inulin
syrup on the one hand and the production regions concerned onthe other, using the coefficients established for this purpose.
(3)In accordance withArticle 10(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, each Member State must then allocate the difference towhich it is subject among the producer undertakings established
on its territory on the basis of the existing ratio between their A
and B quotas for the product in question and the basic quantityA and the basic quantity B for the Member State for thisproduct.
(4)Article 39(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 lays down that areduction in the guaranteed quantity also necessitates a reduction
in the presumed maximum raw sugar needs of Community refi-
neries for the marketing year in question. It is thereforenecessary to fix the corresponding reduction for these presumedmaximum needs and to allocate it among the Member Statesconcerned.
(5)The time limits by which the Member States must establish thereduction applying to eachproducer undertaking on th eir terri-
tory and communicate the relevant data should be fixed.
(6)The Management Committee for Sugar has not delivered an
opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
