COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1069/2002

of 20 June 2002

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), amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No
680/2002 (2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Ar-
ticle 27(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 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 1260/2001 provides that when re-
funds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and ex-
ported 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 28 of that Regulation. 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 Annex I, point
II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this
refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4)
of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Candy sugar is de-
fined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7
September 1995 laying down detailed rules of applica-
tion for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sec-
tor (3). 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.

(9)

The world market situation or the specific requirements
of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the re-
fund 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. It may be al-
tered in the intervening period.

It follows from applying the rules set out above to the
present situation on the market in sugar and in particular
to quotations or prices for sugar within the Community
and on the world market that the refund should be as set
out in the Annex hereto.

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 ex-
port occurs after 30 September 2001.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in ac-
cordance with the opinion of the Management Commit-
tee for Sugar,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of
Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in
the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the
Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 June 2002.

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

Done at Brussels, 20 June 2002.
