COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1364/2001

of 4 July 2001

amending Regulation (EC) No 1310/2001 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,

Haying regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19
June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the
sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 27(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

In accordance with Article 6(3)(b) of Commission Regu-
lation (EC) No 1464/95 of 27 June 1995 on special
detailed rules for the application of the system of import
and export licences in the sugar sector (2), the export
licences for the products referred to therein are valid
from the date of issue until the end of the third month
following that date.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1310/2001 of 29 June
2001 fixing the export refunds on syrups and other
sugar products exported in the natural state (3) fixes the
export refunds applicable to these products from 1 July
2001 and limits the validity of the export licences to 30
September 2001 so that there is no difference in treat-
ment between operators using the licences by 30
September 2001 and those using them after that date.

In order to allow the operators to conclude contracts
after 30 September 2001 using an export licence issued
in July 2001, the amount of the export refund should be
established for licences issued in July 2001 but used
after 30 September 2001. Article 2 of Regulation (EC)
No 1310/2001, which limits the term of validity of
these export licences, should therefore be repealed.

(4)

(5)

(6)

Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision
to continue the compensation system for storage costs
from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into
account when fixing the refunds granted when the basic
product is processed after 30 September 2001.

In order to avoid a difference in treatment between the
export licences issued before and after the date of entry
into force of
the Regulation should
apply to licences issued on or after the date on which
Regulation (EC) No 1310/2001 entered into force.

this Regulation,

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 1310/2001 is amended as follows:

1. The following paragraph is added to Article 1:

‘Where an export licence for which the refund amount was
fixed in accordance with the first paragraph is used after 30
September 2001, the refund in question shall be reduced by
EUR 2/100 kg net white sugar equivalent.’

2. Article 2 is repealed.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 5 July 2001. It shall
apply to export licences issued on or after 1 July 2001.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 4 July 2001.
