pean Economic Community, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) 
No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organ­
ization of the markets in the sugar sector ('), as last 
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 606/82 (2), and 
in particular Articles 3 (5), 5 (5), 8 (4) and 14 (5) 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commis­
sion, 
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No ... of .... 
fixing for the 1984/85 marketing year the sugar 
prices and the standard quality of beet (3) fixed the 
intervention price for white sugar at 54,01 ECU per 
100 kilograms; 
Whereas Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) 
No 1785/81 provides that derived intervention 
prices for white sugar are to be fixed for each of the 
deficit areas; whereas, for such fixing, it is appro­
priate that account be taken of the regional vari­
ations which, given a normal harvest and free move­
ment of sugar, might be expected to occur in the 
price of sugar under natural conditions of price for­
mation on the market; 
Whereas a deficit supply situation is to be foreseen 
in the areas of production in Italy, Ireland and the 
United Kingdom; 
Whereas Article 3 (5) of Regulation (EEC) 
No 1785/81 provides that an intervention price for 
raw sugar shall be fixed; whereas such price shall be established on the basis of the intervention price for 
white sugar, account being taken of a uniform pro­
cessing margin and a standard yield, as well as 
transport costs for the supply of raw sugar; 
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No ... fixed the basic 
price for beet at 41,30 ECU per tonne; whereas 
Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 pro­
vides that the minimum price to be fixed for A beet 
shall be 98 % of the basic price of the beet and the 
minimum price to be fixed for B beet shall in princi­
ple be 68 % of the said basic price; 
Whereas Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) 
No 1785/81 provides that the threshold price for 
white sugar shall be equal to the target price, plus 
costs, calculated at a flat rate, of transport from the 
Community area having the largest surplus to the 
most distant deficit consumption area in the Com­
munity, plus a flat-rate amount which takes into 
account the storage levy which, for 1984/85, can be 
estimated at 4,25 ECU per 100 kilograms of white 
sugar; whereas, given the state of supplies within 
the Community, account should be taken of trans­
port charges between the departments of northern 
France and Palermo; 
Whereas the threshold price for raw sugar is to be 
derived from the threshold price for white sugar by 
reference to a processing margin and a standard 
yield; 
Whereas the threshold price for molasses should be 
fixed in such a way that the receipts from sales of 
molasses may reach the level of receipts of under­
takings taken into account in the fixing of basic 
prices for beet; 
Whereas Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) 
No 1358/77 (4) provides that the amount of
