                                    Proposal for a
                           REGULATION (EEC ) OF THE COUNCIL
                   laying down general rules to ensure the proper
                   functioning of the common organization of the
                   market' in sugar following the accession of the
                                      new Member States
THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty concerning the . Accession of new : Member States to
the European Economic Community and the European Atomic Energy Community
signed at Brussels on 22 January 1972 , and in particular the second subparagraph
of Article 55 ( 6 ) and Article 62 ( l ) of the Act     annexed thereto ( hereinafter
called "Act") }
Having regard to the proposal from the Commissions
Whereas Article 56 of the Act provides that appropriate measures may be taken
with a view to ensuring the proper functioning of the common organization of
the market, in particular if the. refund on exports of a product to third
countries is less than the compensatory amount or if no refund is applicable }
whereas such a situation is likely to arise in the case of sugar}
Whereas the effect of the situation under consideration would be to cause operators
to export from United Kingdom territory sugar produced within the Community as
originally constituted in order to benefit from the compensatory amount granted
pursuant to Article 55 of "the Act } whereas the most suitable means of preventing
the proper functioning of the common organization of the sugar market from being
disturbed by deflection in trade is to provide for the charge of a compensatory levy
cn exports ;
Whereas pursuant to the application of Protocol No 17 annexed to the Act , sugar
imported into the United Kingdom under the Commonwealth Sugar Agreement will
always be available on the United Kingdom market at the marketing pricey irrespective
of any fluctuations in wcrld maricet prices } whereas imports from other third countries
are negligible }

                                      - 2 -
Whereas the effect of applying the provisions of the first subparagraph of
Article 55 (6 ) of the Act would be to make sugar imports into the United Kingdom
from other Members of the Community more expensive than sugar from the exporting
countries covered by the Commonwealth Sugar Agreement f whereas therefore in
order to avoid distortion of competition and having regard to the large amount
of sugar covered by Protocol No 17 annexed to the Act f it is essential to invoke
the provisions of the second subparapraph of Article 55 ( 6 ) of the Act in respeot
of the products listed in Article 1 of Council Regulation No IOO9/67/EEC       of
18 December 196? on the common organisation of the market in sugar , as last
amended by Regulation (EEC ) No ,..../72
