on the release of securities for import licences for preferential sugar issued under Regulation (EEC)
No 2782/76

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 22(2)(b) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

One of the Regulations repealed by Commission Regu-
lation (EC) No 1159/2003 of 30 June 2003 laying down
detailed rules of application for the 2003/2004, 2004/
2005 and 2005/2006 marketing years for the import of
cane sugar under certain tariff quotas and preferential
agreements and amending Regulations (EC) No 1464/95
and (EC) No 779/96 (2) was Commission Regulation
(EEC) No 2782/76 (3), which laid down detailed imple-
menting rules for the importation of preferential sugar.

Article 28 of Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003 provides as
a transitional measure that licences issued under Regu-
lation (EEC) No 2782/76 may be used provided that
loading took place and/or
import declarations were
accepted before 1 July 2003.

(3)

(4)

(5)

It has become clear that these transitional measures do
not cover the case where licences provided for by Regu-
lation (EEC) No 2782/76 and issued before 1 July 2003
could not be used because of the entry into application
of Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003.

Provision should therefore be made for the securities on
licences which have been unusable since 1 July 2003 to
be released.

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

The securities on import licences issued under Regulation (EEC)
No 2782/76 which could not be used because of the entry into
application of Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003 may be released
forthwith.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publica-
tion in the Official Journal of the European Union.

It shall apply from 1 July 2003.

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