Because of the difficulties in marketing raw sugar produced in the French
Overseas Departments the European regions of the Community, Community measures
were applied from 1 February 1973 ( date from which on Commonwealth Sugar Agreement
Sugar was imported into the Community) to facilitate these sales . These measures ,
in principle applied for ^"laugar marketing year, consisted in the granting of
a Community subsidy for the refining of this sugar, if certain conditions were
fulfilled .
The quantities of this sugar refined during each marketing year were in the order
of 300 COO tons .
Since the difficulties already recognized by the Commission continue to exist , the
Commission finds it necessary to propose similar actions to be taken for the
1976/77 sugar marketing year . These measures should therefore consist in the
granting of a Community subsidy for refining this sugar , allowing thus the most
possible facilitation for the marketing of thi3 sugar in the Community as well
as increasing its fluidity as far as the local situation or technical nature of
the refinery is concerned .
Such a subsidy must be fixed in taking into account the value of the raw sugar
at the place of the refinery, the possibilities of marketing this sugar after
refining ,the necessary margin for a pure refinery, as well as the differential
amount fixed for the same marketing year - which loads to the proposal of a
subsidy of 1.29 AU for 100 kilogrammes , expressed as white sugar .

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas Article 9(3 ) of the said Regulation provides that appropriate
measures are to be taken in the event of difficulties arising in the disposal o > sugar
produced in the French overseas departments ; whereas the existence of such difficulties
has been recognized in the past and appropriate Community measures have already been
taken ;   whereas these difficulties still remain ;
Whereas the economic relationship between the French overseas departments and the European
regions of the Community requires that the bulk of the sugar from the French overseas
departments should be disposed of in those regions ;
Whereas a subsidy should be granted for the refining of the sugar concerned to ensure
that these quantities are disposed of in those regions ; whereas the
amount of the subsidy should be determined on the basis of the value of tne ra~ g
delivered at the place of refining, the outlets after processing, the necessary re inin
margin   for sugar refined in a refinery as defined in Article 9 (7 )            & 10n /7fi
