Whereas since thoir adoption -the "basic provieiona ooncorning the organiz­
ation of the market in products prooessed from fruit and vegetables have
been amanded a number of times ; whereas by reason of their numbers , their
complexity and their dispersal among various Offical -Journals , these texts
are difficult to use, and thus lack the clarity which should be an
essential feature of all legislation; whereas they should therefore be
consolidated in a single text ;
Whereas the common organisation of the markets in sugar and oereals make
provision for price and trading systems for these produots ; whereas the
application of these systems has the effect of keeping prices for sugar,
glucose and gluoose syrup at a certain level ; whereas , in view of the
direct and substantial incidence of these raw materials on the oost price
of oertain prooessed products , the trading system for prooessed products
must be brought into lino with the trading systems for sugar and oereals ;
Whereas provisions must therefore be adopted to ensure that a levy is
charged on the sugar component incorporated in prooessed products under
conditions similar to those operative under Council Regulation No 3330/74
EEC of 19 December 1974 on the oommon organisation of tho market in
sugar ( 2) jus last amended by Regulation (EEC) No           ( '^whereas an
identioal import oharge should also be levied on the glucose components
and glucose eyrup incorporated as sugar substitutes in the processed
products concerned;
Whereas this method of calculation calls for frequent alterations to the
levy in question; whereas , in view of the nature of the produots conoerned,
it is advisable to provide that this levy only be fixed once a quarter ;
Whereas special provisions are neoessaiy for occasions when one of the
elements for calculating th6 levy is not known ;
Whereas , similarly, provision should be made for granting a refund on
sugar incorporated in prooessed produots for export to non-manber oountries
designed . to cover the difference between prioes for sugar ruling outside
and inside the Community;
( 2)        OJ No L 359, 31.12.1974» P.1 .
(3)         OJ No L
 ---pagebreak--- Whereas to enable prooessod products without added sugar to have access to
markets of non-manber oountries , provision should "be made for the granting
of an export refund; whereas for products containing added sugar this general
refund should be granted only in cases where the refund in respect of the
added sugar contained in the products would not be sufficient to permit
their exportation ;
Whereas , in the interests of stability in commercial transactions ,
consideration should be given to allowing those ooncemed to have the
amounts of the levies and refunds fixed in advance; whereas , in the
interests of sound administration, provision should be made for the
introduction of advance fixing certificates , which would involve the
lodging of a security guaranteeing the commitment to import or export
during the period of validity of the certificate ;
Whereas provision should also be made, where necessary for the proper
functioning of the system outlined above,      for regulating or , insofar
as the situation on the market requires , prohibiting in whole or in
part , the use of inward processing arrangements ; whereas , moreover ,
refunds should be so fixed that Community basic products used by proces­
sing industries in the Community with a view to export are not plaoed at
a disadvantage by inward processing arrangements which might induce those
industries to give preference to basic products imported from non-member
countries ;
Whereas the establishment of a single market would be jeopardised by the
granting of certain aids ; whereas, therefore, the provisions of the Treaty
which allow the assessment of aids granted by Member States and the prohib­
ition of those which are incompatible with the common market should be
made to apply to products prooessed from fruit and vegetables ;
Whereas , in order to facilitate implementation of the proposed measures , a
prooedure should be provided for establishing olose oo-operation between
Member States and the Commission within a Management Committee ;
 ---pagebreak---                                          -4~
 Whereas the oommon organisation of tfre market in produota processed from
 fruit and vegetables muBt take appropriate aocount , at the same time, of
 the objectives set out in Artioles 39 ani HO °f the Treaty;
Whereas the 'expenditure incurred by Member States as a result of '
 obligations arising out of the applioation of this Regulation is financed
 by the Community in accordma ,, with Artioles 2 and 3 of Counoil Regulation
 (EEC ) No 729/70,,?^1 April 1970, on the financing of the common agricultural
 policy^, as 9amended by Regulation (ESC ) No 2788/p 2^>           .

 METHOD OP MEASURING DRY SOLUBLE RESIDUE IN PRODUCTS PROCESSED FROM FRUIT
                          AND VEGETABLES BY REFRACTOMETRY
 I.    FIELD OF APPLICATION
       Application of this method is related to the quantity of sugar
       present in the product analysed . The presence of amino-acids , salts
       of organio acids , flavonoids and mineral substances alters the
       refractive index.
 II .  DEFINITION
       Dry soluble residue (determined by refractometry) means the percentage
       weight of suorose in an aqueous solution of sucrose which , under
       given conditions of preparation and a given temperature , has the same
       refractive index as the product analysed.           This percentage is
       expressed in gf 100 g.
 III . PRINCIPLE
       Deduction of the dry soluble residue content of a product from its
 ---pagebreak---                                               -22-
        refractive index .
IV .    APPARATUS
        Abbe type refractometer
        This apparatus must have a scale indicating the percentage weight of
      : sugar to the nearest 0.1$.         It must be so constructed that samples
        can be introduced easily and quickly .           It must be easy to olean.
        The refractometer must have a thermometer with a scale extending from
        at lease + 15° C to + 25°C . It must also hnrve a water circulator
        enabling measurements to be made at a temperature of 20°C ± 5^°^*
        Operating instructions f'or this apparatus , and in particular those
     , dealing with calibration and light source, must be striotly followed.
V.      MEfTHOD
        1.   Preparation of sample
             1.1 . Liquid and limpid products
                    Mix carefully and proceed to determination
             1.2 . Semi -dense products, purges, fruit juices with matter in
                    suspension .
                    Carefully mix an average laboratory sample and then
                    homogenise . Strain £art of the sample through dry gauze
                    folded in four , remove the first drops and proceed to
               ;.   determination on the filtrate .
             1.3 « Dense products ( jams and jellies )
                    If the homogenised product cannot be used directly, weigh 40
                    g of the product to the noarest 0.01 g in a 250 ml beaker
                    and add 100 ml of distilled water .
                    Boil gently for two or three minutes , stirring with a glass

1.  Calculation and formulation        1
    The diy soluble residue content , conventionally exprBsed in grams of
    sucrose per one hundred grams of product , is calculated as follows :
    The peroentago sucrose content indicated try refraotometry is used direct
    If the reading is made at a temperature other than + 20°C , correct as
    indicated in the attached table .
    If measurement has been made on a dilute solution, the dry soluble
    residue content is equal to
                                         100

    M being the weight ( in grams ) of dry soluble residue per 100 g of
    product indicated by the refractometer and E the weight ( in grams ) of
    product per 100 ml of solution .
