Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 427/96 of 8 March 1996 (3) fixes the quantities which need to be imported from the ACP States and India to meet the requirements of refineries on the basis of a Community forecast supply balance; whereas that supply balance takes account of 41 000 tonnes of raw cane sugar which can be imported in the first half of 1996 under a new import quota stemming from the negotiations under GATT Article XXIV.6 following the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden;

Whereas the decision to open that tariff quota has been delayed; whereas, in order to avoid interrupting supplies to the refining industry for which the new quota quantities are intended, the quota opened by Regulation (EC) No 427/96 should accordingly be increased by the amount necessary to meet Portugal's requirements, namely 41 000 tonnes;

Whereas, with a view to the Community's obligations with regard to its commitments under the GATT, that quantity will be taken into account in respect of the 1996/97 marketing year, both when the new GATT quota is opened and when the quantities to be imported under the arrangements laid down in Article 37 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 are determined;
