of 10 January 2001

fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered 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 organisation of the markets
in the sugar sector (1), as amended by Commission Regulation
the
(EC) No 1527/2000 (2), and in particular point

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)(a) of
that Regulation and prices for those products within the
Community may be covered by an export refund.

Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 provides that when
refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and
exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account
must be taken of the situation on the Community and
world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and
cost factors set out in Article 19 of that Regulation;
whereas the same Article provides that the economic
aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into
account.

The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the
standard quality; the latter is defined in Article 1 of
Council Regulation (EC) No 431/68 of 9 April 1968
determining the standard quality for raw sugar and
fixing the Community frontier crossing point for calcu-
lating cif prices for sugar (3), as amended by Regulation
(EC) No 3290/94 (4); furthermore, this refund should be
fixed in accordance with Article 19(4) of Regulation (EC)
No 2038/1999; candy sugar is defined in 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 (5); the refund thus
calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or
colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content
and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.

The world market situation or the specific requirements
of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the
refund for sugar according to destination.

In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed
by other legal

instruments.

The refund must be fixed every two weeks; whereas it
may be altered in the intervening period.

It follows from applying the rules set out above to the
present situation on the market in sugar and in partic-
sugar within the
ular
Community and on the world market that the refund
should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
