      produced in the French oyeraeafi departments
     Because of the difficulties in disposing of the raw sugar produced
     in the French overseas departments in European regions of the
     Community, measures designed to facilitate its disposal have applied
     since 1 February 1973 when the Community "began to import               of sugar
     covered "by the Commonwealth Sugar Agreement » These measures , appli­
     cable in principle on a sugar marketing year basis , consist of the
     granting, under . certain conditions , of Community aid for the refining
     of this sugar *
     The quantity of sugar refined in each sugar marketing year has "been
     of the order of 2^0 000 tonnes .
     The difficulties recognised by the Community in the past continue
     to exist , and the Commission therefore thinks it appropriate to
     propose that similar facilitating measures should be adopted for
     the                3U£ar marketing year . These should consist of a Community
     refining subsidy which will as far as possible assist the disposal
     of this sugar within the Community and increase its trade flow ,
     irrespective of the place of refining and the technical nature of
     the refineries concerned .
     Such subsidy should be established on the basis of the value of
     the raw sugar delivered at the place of refining , the outlets after
     processing , the necessary refining margin for sugar refined in a
 *
     "pure" refinery , and the differential amount fixed for the
     sugar marketing year . On this basis it is appropriate to provide
     a subsidy of 1,22 units of account per 100 kilogrammes of sugar
     expressed as white BUgar .
