This proposal shall "be amended as follows :
1 . The following text as fifth and sixth considerations :
    "Whereas the provisions of Article 16 of Regulation no IOO9/67/EEC
    on export levies shall not apply to the sugar produced in excess of
    the maximum quota ;
    Whereas on the one hand the persistent situation of unless a shortage
    and the high prices of the world market and on the other hand the
    risk for the supplies of the Community because of the -nncertainty
    about the future quantities to be imported under the Protocol No 22
    annexed to the Act of the Accession Treaty"^ whereas therefore and
    in view of to avoid the contract for export of this sugar a long time
    before his production it seems necessary to adopt the principle of
    the applicability of the export levy also on sugar produced in excess
    of the maximum quota but with providing , the possibility to decide ,
    previously knowledge of the real situation on applies , to discharge
    this sugar form the export levy ,".
2 . Insert the following Article 2^er :
    " Article 2
      The Article 25 ( 2 ) of Regulation No 1009/67/CE3 is replaced by the
      following text :
      " The provisions of Articles 8,9 and 17 shall not apply to the
        quantity referred to in paragraph 1 which is not carried forward
        to the following marketing year persuant to Article 32 . However
        the provisions of Article 16 may be decided not to apply .".
(1 ) O.J. No L 73 , 27.3.1972 , p.177
 ---pagebreak---                         Explanatory Note
The production system to apply in the sugar seciou provides that the
sugar produced in excess of the maxinum quota_ shall not "be disposed
of on the internal market of the Community and that certain provisions
as those on the export levy shall not apply to this sugar . The world
market is characterized "by a persistent situation of unless a shortage
and by prices double of the prices in the Community .
The Commonwealth Sugar Agreement expires on the end of 1974 and the
negociations about the future imports from certain developing countries
(Protocol No 22 ) are not yet begun . In this ncex-tainty it ia necessary
in view of removing the risk which is resulting for the supplies of
the Community to lay dotm the principje of the application of the export
levy also on sugar produced in excess of the maximum quota but with
providing the possibility to decide , previously knowledge of the real
situation on applies , to discharge this sugar from the export levy .
Therefore it is possible to avoid the contract for export of this
sugar a long time before his production and then in case of unless
a shortage subsequently ascertained to be in a position to use this
sugar for supplying the internal market of the Community .
