COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1153/2002

of 28 June 2002

fixing the representative prices and additional import duties for certain products in the sugar
sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(3)

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 market in su-
gar (1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/
2002 (2),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1423/95 of
23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the import of pro-
than molasses (3), as last
ducts in the sugar sector other
amended by Regulation (EC) No 624/98 (4), and in particular
the second subparagraph of Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) there-
of,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 1423/95 stipulates that the cif im-
port price for raw sugar and white sugar, hereinafter
known as the ‘representative price’, should be set in ac-
cordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 784/
68 (5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 260/96 (6).
That price should be fixed for the standard qualities de-
fined in Annex I, point I and II, to Regulation (EC) No
1260/2001.

(2) When the representative prices are being fixed, the Com-
mission must take account of all available information
on offers on the world market, on quotations on the ex-
changes which are important for world trade in sugar,
on prices recorded on important third-country markets,
and on sales concluded in international trade of which it
has knowledge either directly or through the agency of
the Member States. However, pursuant to Regulation
(EEC) No 784/68, the Commission must disregard infor-
mation if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair
marketable quality or if the price quoted in an offer re-
lates to a small quantity which is not representative of
the market. Offer prices which can be assumed not to be
representative of actual market trends must also be disre-
garded.

If information on sugar of the standard quality is to be
comparable, the price increases or reductions fixed pur-
suant to Article 5(1)(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 784/68
must be added to or deducted from the offers taken into
consideration in the case of white sugar. In the case of
raw sugar, the corrective factors provided for in Article
5(1)(b) must be applied.

(4)

The representative price is modified only if the variation
in the elements used to calculate it would entail an in-
crease or a reduction of not less than 1,20 EUR/100
kilograms in relation to the representative price pre-
viously fixed.

(5) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for
the product in question and the representative price, ad-
ditional import duties should be fixed under the condi-
tions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1423/95.

(6)

(7)

It follows from applying these provisions that the repre-
sentative prices and additional import duties for the pro-
ducts in question should be as set out in the Annex here-
to.

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:
