COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1363/2001

of 4 July 2001

amending Regulation (EC) No 1327/2001 fixing the production refund on white sugar used in the
chemical industry

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having 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 7(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

In accordance with Article 15 of Commission Regula-
tion (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down
detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation
(EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production
refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical
industry (2), the refund certificates are valid from the
date of receipt of the application to the end of the fifth
month following the month in which the production
refund application was received.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1327/2001 of 29 June
2001 fixing the production refund on white sugar used
in the chemical industry (3) fixes the production refund
on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC)
No 1265/2001 at EUR 33,936/100 kg net and limits
the validity of the refund certificates to 30 September
2001 so that there is no difference in treatment between
operators using the refund certificates 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 a refund certificate
applied for in July 2001, the amount of the production
refund should be established for certificates applied for
in July when the basic product qualifying for
the
production refund is processed after 30 September
2001. Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1327/2001,

(4)

(5)

(6)

which limits the term of validity of these refund certi-
ficates, should therefore be repealed.

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 where the basic
product is processed after 30 September 2001.

In order to avoid a difference in treatment between the
refund certificates applied for before and after the date
of entry into force of this Regulation, the Regulation
should apply to certificates applied for on or after the
date on which Regulation (EC) No 1327/2001 entered
into force.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 1327/2001 is amended as follows:

1. The following paragraph is added to Article 1:

‘Where the basic product qualifying for the production
refund fixed in the first paragraph is processed after 30
September 2001, the production refund in question shall be
reduced by EUR 2/100 kg net.’

2. Article 2 is hereby repealed.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 5 July 2001. It shall
apply to refund certificates applied for 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.
