   The basic sugar regulation provides that where the margin necessary
   for the refining of raw preferential sugar exceeds the raw beet , sugar
   refining margin taken into account in the determination of the relevant
   Community prices then a differential charge shall be made on raw pre–
   ferential BUgar when it is refined in , a "mixed " refinery. As this will
  be the case in -1979/80 this proposal is for the purpose of fixing
  the said charge .
  The basic regulation also provides that an amount equal to the charge
  referred to above shall be granted for the raw sugar which is produced
  in the French overseas departments and refined in a pure refinery, and
  this is also provided for in this proposal .

'47 (l ) thereof ,
   Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
   Whereas Article 46 (l ) of Regulation (EEC ) NO 3330/74 provides that where there
   is a difference between , on the one hand , the raw sugar refining margin
: used to determine the intervention and threshold prices for raw sugar and ,
   on the other hand , the margin necessary for the refining of raw preferential
   sugar , a differential charge to be made on the latter sugar shall be fixed
   for the sugar marketing year .'.1 question ;            ,
   Whereas the bulk of the raw preferential sugar cannot be refined unless use
   is made of the refineries define*, in Art.icle 9 ( 7 ) of Regulation ( EEC )
   No 3330/74 ; whereas the margin required for the refining of the said sugar
   in such refineries is greater , acnrding to the information at present to
   hand , than that taken into accoun when determining the intervention and
   threshold prices for raw sugar foi the 1979/80 sugar marketing year ; whereas
   a differential charge should thernore be fixed for that year ; whereas the
   amount thereof may be fixed at a flvt rate of 2.04 Ecu of sugar expressed
   as white sugar , taking into accoun certain differences in the costs concerned ;
   Whereas Article 46 ( 2 ) (b ) of RegulVion ( EEC ) NO 3330/74 makes provision for
   the non-application of whole or par : of the differential charge
 i   ' '                       1

   defined in Article 9 (7 ) of that Reflation ; whereas , having regard to

 the traditional patterns of supplies of the said sugar t?> Ireland , a
 maximum quantity of 30 000 tonnes of that sugar, expressed in white value ,
 refined in that region in the 1978/79 sugar marketing year was exempted from
the differential charge ; whereas , for the same reasons , that exemption should
be continued in respect of Ireland for the 1979/80 sugar marketing year ;
Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 9 ( 3) of Regulation ( EEC )
No. 3330/74 provides , in particular , that where a differential charge has
been fixed , a differential amount equal to that charge shall be granted
in respect of the raw sugar produced in the French overseas departments,
     refined in a refinery defined in paragraph 7 of that Article and' situated
in the Community ; whereas that amount should therefore be fixed at 2,04 Ecu
