COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1697/1999

of 30 July 1999

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 Commission Regulation
(EC) No 1148/98 (2), and in particular Article 17 (5) thereof,

(1) 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;

(2) 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 kilograms of the products listed in Article 1 (1) (d)
of Regulation (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 Commis-
sion Regulation (EC) No 2135/95;

(3) 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), as last amended by Regulation
(EC) No 1148/98, to the products listed in the Annex to
the last mentioned Regulation;

(4) 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 one-hundredth of an amount which takes account, on
the one hand, of the difference between the intervention
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;

(5) 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;

(6) 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 (1)
the refund shall be
granted only for products complying with the condi-
tions in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95;

(h),

(7) Whereas the refunds referred to above must be fixed
every month; whereas they may be altered in the inter-
vening period;

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

(1) OJ L 177, 1.7.1981, p. 4.
(2) OJ L 159, 3.6.1998, p. 38.
(3) OJ L 214, 8.9.1995, p. 16.
(4) OJ L 94, 9.4.1986, p. 9.

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