COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2524/1999

of 30 November 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 (EC) No 2038/1999 of 13
September 1999 on the common organization of the markets
in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subpara-
graph of Article 18(5) thereof,

(1) Whereas Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999
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 (2), provides that the export refund on
100 kilograms of the products listed in Article 1 (1) (d)
of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 is equal to the basic
including,
amount multiplied by the sucrose content,
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 21(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999
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 (3), as last amended by Commis-
sion Regulation (EC) No 1148/98 (4), to the products
listed in the Annex to the last mentioned Regulation;

(4) Whereas, according to the terms of Article 21(1) of
Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999, the basic amount of the
refund on the other products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of
the said Regulation 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 arrange-
ments;

(5) Whereas, according to the terms of Article 21(4) of
Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999, the application of the
basic amount may be limited to some of the products
listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation;

(6) Whereas Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999
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 (EC) No 2038/1999 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 prod-
ucts complying with the conditions in Article 5 of Regu-
for the products
lation (EC) No 2135/95; whereas,
referred to in Article 1(1)(h), the refund shall be granted
only for products complying with the conditions in
Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95;

(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 252, 25.9.1999, p. 1.
(2) OJ L 214, 8.9.1995, p. 16.
(3) OJ L 94, 9.4.1986, p. 9.
(4) OJ L 159, 3.6.1998, p. 38.

(9) Whereas the Management Committee for Sugar has not
delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its
chairman,
