Proposal for a Council Regulation (EEC) amending Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 on the 
common organization of the markets in the sugar sector 
COM(89) 67 final 
(Submitted by the Commission on 21 February 1989) 
(89/C 58/08) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European 
Parliament, 
Whereas Portugal's white sugar requirements have tradi­
tionally been met by the refining of imported raw sugar; 
whereas to that end Article 303 of the Act of Accession 
of Spain and Portugal lays down appropriate measures 
which are to apply during the transitional period for 
ensuring the supply of raw sugar to Portuguese 
refineries, drawing firstly on raw sugar imported from 
certain ACP countries and raw sugar produced in the 
Community and secondly, where this is insufficient, raw sugar imported from third countries at a reduced levy in 
order to bring its price to the level of the Community 
intervention price for raw sugar; 
Whereas in the Joint Declaration attached to the Act of 
Accession on supplies to the sugar refining industry in 
Portugal it is stated that the sugar in question is to be 
supplied under price conditions similar to those for pref­
erential sugars; whereas the arrangements for import at a 
reduced levy enabled the sugar thus imported to comply 
with those conditions; 
Whereas Article 9 (4) (b) of Council Regulation (EEC) 
No 1785/81 O, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) 
No 2306/88 (2), introduces an aid scheme for the 
refining of preferential raw sugar;

No C 58/10 Official Journal of the European Communities 7. 3. 89 
Whereas the implementation of an aid scheme for 
refining preferential raw sugar, which can be applied also 
to raw cane sugar produced in the French overseas 
departments and to raw sugar obtained from beet 
harvested in the Community where these are refined into 
white sugar in specific refineries, creates an imbalance in 
the abovementioned price conditions which penalizes the 
Portuguese refineries, which obtain more than three-
quarters of their total raw sugar supplies from imports 
effected at a reduced levy which do not qualify for the 
aid scheme; whereas in order to re-establish the balance, 
therefore, the scheme should be extended to the refining 
of sugar imported into Portugal, under Article 303 of the 
Act of Accession; whereas, in order to preclude for the 
same marketing year any difference in treatment between 
raw sugar imported and refined prior to the date of 
entry into force of these arrangements for extending the 
aid scheme and sugar imported and refined after that 
date, provisions should be made for the arrangements to 
apply retroactively from the beginning of the 1988/89 
marketing year, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 is hereby amended as 
follows: 
1. The following paragraph is added in Article 9: '4c. During the 1988/89 to 1990/91 marketing 
years, adjustment aid shall be granted, as an inter­
vention measure, to the refining industry in Portugal 
for raw sugar imported from third countries under 
Article 303 of the Act of Accession of Spain and 
Portugal and refined into white sugar in Portugal. 
This aid shall be granted only if the imported raw 
sugar is refined into white sugar in the refineries 
referred to in the third subparagraph of paragraph 4. 
This adjustment aid may be altered, for a given 
marketing year, in the light of the amount of the 
storage levy fixed for that year and/or to take 
account of a change in refiners' margins which results 
from the price review for that marketing year.' 
2. The seventh indent of Article 9 (6) is replaced by the 
following: 
'— the adjustments referred to in the fourth 
subparagaph of paragraph 4b and the third 
subparagraph of paragraph 4c'. 
Article 2 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day 
following that of its publication in the Official Journal of 
the European Communities. 
It shall apply with effect from 1 July 1988. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and 
directly applicable in all Member States.
