1. 

CONTEXT 

•  Grounds for and objectives of the proposal 

Article 29(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common 
organisation of the markets in the sugar sector1 fixes the traditional supply need for sugar for 
refining  for  the  Community.  This  provision  has  been  amended  by  Council  Regulation  (EC) 
No …./2006 of … 2006 adapting Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 establishing common rules 
for  direct  support  schemes  under  the  common  agricultural  policy  and  establishing  certain 
support  schemes  for  farmers,  Regulation  (EC)  No  318/2006  on  the  common  organisation  of 
the  markets  in  the  sugar  sector  and  Regulation  (EC)  No 320/2006  establishing  a  temporary 
scheme for the restructuring of the sugar industry in the Community by reason of the accession 
of  Bulgaria  and  Romania  to  the  European  Union2,  in  order  to  provide  for  the  distribution 
during the marketing years 2006/2007, 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 of a traditional supply need 
of 198 748 tonnes for Bulgaria and 329 636 tonnes for Romania.  

The share of Bulgaria in the traditional supply need is 198 748 tonnes and that of Romania is 
329 636 tonnes. However, this share should be reduced to 149 0614 tonnes for Bulgaria and 
247 227 tonnes for Romania in respect of the 2006/07 marketing year to take into account that 
this marketing year has started prior to accession. 

When the agreement on the sugar reform was reached in November 2005, the Council and the 
Commission made the following declaration: 

"8.5.  Declaration to be made regarding accession of Romania and Bulgaria. 

The  Council  and  the  Commission  declare  that  the  quantities  of  imported  raw  sugar  for 
refining agreed in the Accession treaty for Romania and Bulgaria will be reserved for these 
two future Member States for the period up to and including the marketing year 2008/09." 

The full-time refiners in Bulgaria and Romania rely to a large extent on imports of raw cane 
sugar  from  their  traditional  suppliers  in  certain  third  countries,  most  importantly  Brazil  and 
Cuba.  

In  order  to  ensure  the  raw  sugar  supply  of  the  Bulgarian  and  Romanian  refiners  from  their 
traditional  suppliers  and  to  avoid  any  disturbance  of  the  sugar  markets  of  the  acceding 
countries it is considered necessary to open tariff quotas for imports of raw sugar for refining 
from any third country for the marketing years 2006/2007, 2007/2008 and 2008/2009. 

It  is  also  necessary  to  fix  the  amount  of  the  import  duty  applicable  to  imports  under  the 
proposed  tariff  quotas  which  should  be  set  at  a  level  that  ensures  fair  competition  in  the 
Community sugar market, but which is not prohibitive for imports into Bulgaria and Romania. 
Taking into account that imports under these tariff quotas could be carried out from any third 
country it is therefore appropriate to fix the level of import charges at €98 per tonne, which is

the  same  level  as  fixed  for  CXL  concessions  sugar  under  Article  24  of  Commission 
Regulation (EC) No 950/20063.  

Import licences issued under the tariff quotas opened by this Regulation should be reserved for 
approved  full-time  refiners  in  Bulgaria  and  Romania  and  licences  should  be  valid  only  for 
imports  into  Bulgaria  and  Romania.  These  temporary  restrictions  are  necessary  in  order  to 
safeguard the raw sugar supply of the Bulgarian and Romanian refiners on the one hand and to 
avoid unfair competition on the Community sugar market. Refiners established in the EU-25 
import  most  of  their  raw  sugar  supply  from  ACP  countries.  Although  preferential  imports 
from the ACP countries are carried out without paying import charges, however importers are 
obliged to pay a guaranteed price which is higher than the prevailing world market price. 

•  General context 

Bulgaria and Romania are due to join the EU on 1 January 2007. 

•  Consistency with other policies and objectives of the Union 

Not applicable. 

2. 

CONSULTATION OF INTERESTED PARTIES AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT 

•  Consultation of interested parties  

In  accordance  with  the  interim  procedure  applicable  to  Bulgaria  and  Romania, 
DG AGRI organised meetings with both countries to inform them unofficially about 
DG AGRI's proposal and get their reactions.  

•  Impact assessment 

Not applicable. The proposal is not subject to IA requirements as it is not included in 
the Commission Legislative and Work Programme.

BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS 

This proposal has financial implications for the Community budget: 

on  the  revenue  side,  imports  under  the  proposed  tariff  quotas  will  be  subject  to  an 
import charge of €98 per tonne. If the full TRQ is used the revenue for the 2006/07 
marketing  year  would  amount  to  €38.83  million  and  €51.78  million  for  each  of  the 
two subsequent marketing years.

supply to refineries in the marketing years 2006/2007, 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  establishing  the  European  Community,  and  in  particular 
Article 37(2) thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament4, 

Whereas:

(3) 

Article  29(1)  of  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No 318/2006  of  20  February  2006  on  the 
common  organisation  of  the  markets  in  the  sugar  sector5  fixes  the  traditional  supply 
need  for  sugar  for  refining  for  the  Community.  This  provision  has  been  amended  by 
Council  Regulation  (EC)  No …./2006  of  …  2006  adapting  Regulation  (EC) 
No 1782/2003  establishing  common  rules  for  direct  support  schemes  under  the 
common  agricultural  policy  and  establishing  certain  support  schemes  for  farmers, 
Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar 
sector  and  Regulation  (EC)  No 320/2006  establishing  a  temporary  scheme  for  the 
restructuring  of  the  sugar  industry  in  the  Community  by  reason  of  the  accession  of 
Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union6, in order to provide for the distribution 
during  the  marketing  years  2006/2007,  2007/2008  and  2008/2009  of  a  traditional 
supply need of 198 748 tonnes for Bulgaria and 329 636 tonnes for Romania.  

The full-time refiners in Bulgaria and Romania rely to a large extent on imports of raw 
cane sugar from traditional suppliers in certain third countries. 

In  order  to  avoid  disruption  of  the  supply  of  raw  cane  sugar  for  full-time  refiners  in 
Bulgaria and Romania, it is considered necessary to open tariff quotas for imports of 
such sugar into those Member States from third countries for a period covering those 
marketing  years  for  which  traditional  supply  needs  have  been  distributed  among 
Member States. 

(4) 

Import  licences  issued  under  the  tariff  quotas  opened  by  this  Regulation  should  be 
reserved for approved full-time refiners in Bulgaria and Romania.

OBSERVATIONS: 
(1)  This  amount  of  €29,1  mio  in  budget  year  2007  has  already  been  taken  into  account  in  the  financial 
statement  related  to  the  draft  Commission  Regulation  laying  down  transitional  measures  in  the  sugar 
sector by reason of accession of Bulgaria and Romania; 
It  is  considered  that  opening  tariff  quotas  for  imports  of  raw  cane  sugar  for  refining  would  not  entail 
additional  expenditure  as  export  refunds  should  not  be  necessary  to  accommodate  the  sugar  produced 
from this material under the reformed sugar market.
