Notice to sugar operators on the administration of certain sugar tariff quotas during the 2017/2018 marketing year
(2017/C 319/01)






1.


Article 192(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 provides that import licences for sugar for refining shall be issued during the first 3 months of each marketing year only to full-time refiners provided that the quantities concerned do not exceed the quantities of the exclusive import capacity for full-time refiners set out in paragraph 1 of that Article. In accordance with Article 192(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, exclusive import capacity for full-time refiners was only granted until the end of the 2016/2017 marketing year.










2.


Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 provides that only full-time refiners may apply for import licences for sugar intended for refining with a start validity date during the first 3 months of each marketing year.










3.


In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 891/2009, licence applications for the first subperiod of the 2017/2018 import tariff quota period were to be submitted from 8 to 14 September 2017.










4.


For reasons of legal certainty as regards the right of operators other than full-time refiners to submit applications for import licenses for the first subperiod of the 2017/2018 import tariff quota period, the Commission will publish before 1 October 2017 an Implementing Regulation:






—


deleting Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 as from 1 October 2017,










—


extending until 9 October 2017, 13.00 hours Brussels time, the period for the submission of applications for the first subperiod of the 2017/2018 import tariff quota period,










—


adjusting in consequence the period of issuance of import licences and the period of notification of applications received by Member States, and










—


allowing applicants to withdraw applications already submitted between 8 and 14 September 2017 until 9 October 2017, 13.00 hours Brussels time, in case they wish to reconsider their application or introduce a revised application.














5.


All the applications submitted between 8 September 2017 and 9 October 2017, 13.00 hours Brussels time, will be examined simultaneously.

Question referred

Do Article 168(a) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1) and the principle of VAT neutrality preclude a national practice where the right is granted to a full deduction of input tax in connection with the purchase of goods and services used both for the purposes of a taxable person’s transactions falling within the scope of VAT (taxed and exempted) and falling outside the scope of VAT, owing to the absence in national law of methods and criteria for apportioning the input tax in relation to those types of transaction?
