COimSSION CCOILTJICATIOIT TOTHE COUNCIL
This proposal originates from theCommission Communication totheCouncil
of4December 1974 onpossible emergency measures todeal with aphysical
shortage ofsugar intheCommunity .
Thefirst ofthese measures being predicated bytheCommission inits
Communication intending quickly toincrease sugar availabilities concerns
theincrease ofthesugar production from molasses inplants ,which produce
sugar from molasses .
Theprocesses forproducing sugar from molasses intheCommunity arediffe­
rent .Forexemple inItaly ,which hasbeen themost important producer of
sugar from molasses until thesugar marketing year 1972/1973 byusing
mainly theBarium salt proces (about 60.000 tonnes ofsugar ),sugar isno
longer produced from this basic product .Themolasses ,that isused in
plants ,which produce sugar from molasses isnolonger able tocompete with
other uses ,inparticular with distillation ,inwhich itfinds amuch
higher evaluation .
TheCommission estimates ,that under these circumstances specio.1 interven­
tion measures shall beadopted inordre toencourage thesugar production
from molasses inplants ,which produce sugar from molasses .These measures
should consist inthegranting ofapremium tothesugar andtheproduct .
Ontheother hand theCommission takes into account ,that inaddition -to
aquantity,' that might goupto40*000 tonnes ofsugar andwhich could be
disposed ofintheCommunity ,this quantity will be -achieved atmuch lower
costs than the costs forthesubsidied imports .
This measure byvirtue oftheintervention measures will involve forthe
Community budget acost which could amount tothe ..order of3-5millions
units ofaccount .
