COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1383/98

of 30 June 1998

fixing the export refunds on syrups and certain other sugar products exported in
the natural state

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
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 Regula-
tion (EC) No 1599/96 (2), and in particular Article 17 (5)
thereof,

Whereas Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81
provides that the difference between quotations or prices
on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 (1)
(d) of that Regulation and prices for those products within
the Community may be covered by an export refund;

Whereas Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No
2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules
of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar
sector (3), provides that the export refund on 100 kilo-
grams of the products listed in Article 1 (1) (d) of Regula-
tion (EEC) No 1785/81 is equal to the basic amount
multiplied by the sucrose content,
including, where
appropriate, other sugars expressed as sucrose; whereas the
sucrose content of the product in question is determined
in accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation
(EC) No 2135/95;

Whereas Article 17 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81
provides that the basic amount of the refund on sorbose
exported in the natural state must be equal to the basic
amount of the refund less one-hundredth of the produc-
tion refund applicable, pursuant to Council Regulation
(EEC) No 1010/86 of 25 March 1986 laying down general
rules for the production refund on sugar used in the
chemical industry (4), last amended by Commission Regu-
lation (EC) No 1126/96 (5), to the products listed in the
Annex to the last mentioned Regulation;

Whereas the basic amount of the refund on the other
products listed in Article 1 (1) (d) of Regulation (EEC) No
1785/81 exported in the natural state must be equal to

(1) OJ L 177, 1. 7. 1981, p. 4.
(2) OJ L 206, 16. 8. 1996, p. 43.
(3) OJ L 214, 8. 9. 1995, p. 16.
(4) OJ L 94, 9. 4. 1986, p. 9.
(5) OJ L 150, 25. 6. 1996, p. 3.

one-hundredth of an amount which takes account, on the
the difference between the intervention
one hand, of
price for white sugar for the Community areas without
deficit for the month for which the basic amount is fixed
and quotations or prices for white sugar on the world
market and, on the other, of the need to establish a
balance between the use of Community basic products in
the manufacture of processed goods for export to third
countries and the use of third country products brought
in under inward processing arrangements;

Whereas the application of the basic amount may be
limited to some of the products listed in Article 1 (1) (d)
of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81;

Whereas Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81
makes provision for setting refunds for export in the
natural state of products referred to in Article 1 (1) (f) and
(g) and (h) of that Regulation; whereas the refund must be
fixed per 100 kilograms of dry matter, taking account of
the export refund for products falling within CN code
1702 30 91 and for products referred to in Article 1 (1)
(d) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 and of the economic
aspects of the intended exports; whereas, in the case of
the products referred to in the said Article (1) (f) and (g),
the refund is to be granted only for products complying
with the conditions in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No
2135/95; whereas, for the products referred to in Article 1
(h), the refund shall be granted only for products
(1)
complying with the conditions in Article 6 of Regulation
(EC) No 2135/95;

Whereas the refunds referred to above must be fixed every
month; whereas they may be altered in the intervening
period;

Whereas application of
these quotas results in fixing
refunds for the products in question at the levels given in
the Annex to this Regulation;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are
in accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Sugar,
