            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2025/2008
of 30 September 2025
         
fixing the representative prices, import duties and additional import duties applicable to molasses in the sugar sector from 1 October 2025
         


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Articles 183 and 193a thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Article 25(5) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2834 (2) provides that the cost, insurance and freight (‘CIF’) import price for molasses is to be considered as the ‘representative price’ referred to in Article 182(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.












(2)


CIF import prices not relating to the standard quality defined in Article 31 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2834, should be adjusted according to the quality of the molasses offered, in accordance with Article 32 of that Implementing Regulation.












(3)


The CIF representative prices applicable to the import of molasses covered by CN codes 1703 10 00  and 1703 90 00  should be fixed in accordance with Article 25 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2834.












(4)


Pursuant to Article 8 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2835 (3), where the molasses CIF representative price referred to in Article 25 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2834 plus the import duty applicable to cane molasses falling within CN code 1703 10 00 , or to beet molasses falling within CN code 1703 90 00 , exceed, for the product in question, 8,21 EUR/100 kg, the import duties are to be suspended or reduced to the amount found by the Commission. This amount is to be fixed at the same time as the representative prices referred to in Article 25 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2834.












(5)


The import duties applicable to the imports of the said molasses should be fixed in accordance with Article 8 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2835.












(6)


Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product concerned and the CIF representative price, additional import duties should be fixed in accordance with Article 33 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2834.












(7)


The CIF representative prices should be fixed for each marketing year in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 183 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and the Commission may amend them pursuant to Article 25(6) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2834.












(8)


Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2611 (4) sets out the representative prices, import duties and additional import duties applicable to the import of molasses covered by CN codes 1703 10 00  and 1703 90 00  from 1 October 2024.












(9)


Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2611 should therefore be repealed.












(10)


In order to ensure fair access to the Union market for molasses imported to that market, it is necessary that this Regulation applies as soon as possible after the updated data has been made available. Therefore, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
