THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
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 organization of the markets in sugar sector(1),
aslas t amended by Regulation (EC) No 1101/95(2), and in particular
Articles13 (2) and 17 (2) thereof,
Whereasthe Agreement on Agriculture res ulting from the Uruguay
Round multilateral trade negotiations(hereinafter referred to as‘theAgreement’) callsfor the adaptation, in particular, of regulationsapplicable to import and export licences in the sugar sector from 1July 1995; whereas, in view of the number of adaptations required
and for reasons of clarity and greater administrative efficiency,
Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2630/81(
3), aslas t amended by
Regulation (EEC) No 1754/93(4), should be repealed, whilst keeping
those provisions of that Regulation which are still relevant for theapplication of the system of import and export licences; whereas, for
the same persons, derogations should be made from certain provisions
of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88(
5), aslas t amended by
Regulation (EC) No 1199/95(6);
Whereasasa res ult of the Agreement, the concept in trade of advance-
fixing disappears at the importation stage but becomes the rule at theexportation stage as from 1 July 1995; whereas, therefore, distinctionsin respect of the corresponding securities need no longer be maintainedfor licences;
Whereas, as a result of the most recent enlargement of the Community,
some adaptations of a formal nature should also be made;
Whereasthe meas uresprovided for in thisRegulation are in accor-
dance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,

sponds to the quantity of white sugar shown on the application for an
export licence. The yield of the raw sugar shall be calculated bydeducting 100 from the amount obtained by multiplying by two thedegree of polarization of the sugar.
Where the imported raw sugar does not correspond to the standard
quality, the quantity of raw sugar to be imported under the licence shallbe calculated by multiplying the quantity of raw sugar of the standardquality referred to in the licence by an corrective factor. The corrective
factor shall be obtained by dividing 92 by the percentage yield of the
raw sugar actually imported.

regard to the yield of the raw sugar involved;
(c) where the person concerned has not made the request referred to in
the fourth subparagraph of paragraph 4, then that part of thesecurity resulting from the application of the second subparagraph
of paragraph 4 and which may be forfeit under point (b) of this
