Explanatory Nota
Because ofthedifficulties inmarketing rawsugar produced intheFrench
Overseas Departments theEuropean regions oftheCommunity ,Community measures
were applied from 1February 1973 (date fromwhich onCommonwealth Sugar Agreement
Sugar wasimported into theCommunity )tofacilitate these sales .These measures ,
inprinciple applied for^"laugar marketing year ,consisted inthegranting of
aCommunity subsidy fortherefining ofthis sugar ,ifcertain conditions were
fulfilled .
Thequantities ofthis sugar refined during eachmarketing year were intheorder
of300COOtons .
Since thedifficulties already recognized bytheCommission continue toexist ,the
Commission finds itnecessary topropose similar actions tobetaken forthe
1976/77sugar marketing year .These measures should therefore consist inthe
granting ofaCommunity subsidy forrefining this sugar ,allowing thus themost
possible facilitation forthemarketing ofthi3 sugar intheCommunity aswell
asincreasing itsfluidity asfarasthelocal situation ortechnical nature of
therefinery isconcerned .
Such asubsidy must befixed intaking into account thevalue oftherawsugar
attheplace oftherefinery ,thepossibilities ofmarketing this sugar after
refining ,thenecessary margin forapure refinery ,aswell asthedifferential
amount fixed forthesame marketing year -which loads totheproposal ofa
subsidy of1.29 AUfor100kilogrammes ,expressed aswhite sugar .
