of 4 July 2001

amending Regulation (EC) No 1289/2001 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 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:

(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 1289/2001 of 28 June
2001 fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw
sugar exported in its unaltered state (3) fixes the export
refunds applicable to these products from 29 June 2001
and limits the validity of
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.

the export

In order to allow 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. The second paragraph of
Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1289/2001, which

these export

licences,

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
export occurs 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 1289/2001 entered into force.

accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Sugar,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

1289/2001 is replaced by the following:

‘Where an export licence for which the refund amount was

September 2001, the refund in question shall be reduced
by EUR 2/100 kg net white sugar equivalent.’

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 5 July 2001. It shall
apply to export licences issued on or after 29 June 2001.

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