COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3666/86

of 1 December 1986

replacing Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector

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 934/86 (2), and in particular Article 19 (7) thereof,

Whereas Article 19 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides in particular that, to the extent necessary to enable sugar to be exported in the form of goods listed in Annex I thereto, the difference between the quotations on the world market for sugar and prices for the latter within the Community may be covered by an export refund; whereas the abovementioned Annex I lists chemical products as well as processed foodstuffs;

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1010/86 of 25 March 1986 laying down general rules for the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry (3), extends to new chemical products the possibility of granting production refunds for sugar used in the manufacture thereof;

Whereas the use of sugar in the manufacture of chemical products represents a significant outlet; whereas, in order to facilitate the use thereof, and in order to put the processors in question on a better footing to compete with those who secure their sugar supplies on the world market, those new chemical products should be made eligible for export refunds in respect of the sugar used in manufacturing them; whereas they should therefore be included in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81;

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

Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 is hereby replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply with effect from 1 January 1987.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 1 December 1986.
