COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 411/90

of 16 February 1990

determining, for the period 1 February to 30 June 1990, the quantities of raw sugar produced in the French overseas departments benefiting from the refining aid referred to in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86 and amending Regulation (EEC) No 2089/89

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1069/89 (2), and in particular Article 9 (6) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86 of 15 July 1986 laying down measures for the marketing of sugar produced in the French overseas departments and for the equalization of the price conditions with preferential raw sugar (3), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 3 (2) thereof,

Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86 provides for the granting of an aid for raw sugar produced in the French overseas departments and refined in a refinery situated in the European regions of the Community within the limits of the quantities to be determined according to the regions of destination in question and separately according to origin; whereas those quantities must be determined on the basis of a Community supply balance sheet for raw sugar; whereas in a first stage quantities were fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2089/89 (4) on the basis of a forward estimate covering the period 1 July 1989 to 31 January 1990;

Whereas the final production of the French overseas department of Réunion and the quantities available for refining are now known; whereas the latter quantities which may qualify for this refining aid are accordingly to be determined for the remainder of the 1989/90 marketing year; whereas by virtue of the severe cyclone and drought experienced by Réunion in 1989, the production of raw sugar and the quantities available for refining have been significantly reduced; whereas, in order to rectify the supplies to the various Community refineries, the quantities determined for the period 1 July 1989 to 31 January 1990 by Regulation (EEC) No 2089/89 should consequently be revised;

Whereas 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

The quantities of sugar referred to in Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86 shall be fixed for the period 1 February to 30 June 1990 in accordance with Annex I hereto.
