The target price for white sugar  shall be ECU 55,89 per 100 kilograms. 2.  The intervention price for white sugar shall be ECU 53,10 per 100 kilograms for the non-deficit  areas of the Community with the exception of Spain.

Article 3Standard quality beet shall: (a)  be of sound, genuine and merchantable quality; (b)  have a sugar content of 16 % at the reception point. Article 4This Regulation shall enter  into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall apply for the 1990/91 marketing year.
