      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 (juantity of sugar refined in each sugar marketing year has been
     of the order of 3^0 000 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 1979/8O sugar marketing year . These should consist of a Community
     refining subsidy which will as far as possible assist the disposal
     of thie sugar within the Community and increase its trade flow ,
     irrespective of the place of refining and the technical nature of
     the refineries ooncemed .
     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       1.47 ECU           per 100 kilogrammes of sugar
     expressed as white sugar *
                                                                   %

THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
Having regard to Council Regulation ( EEC ) N o 3330/74 of 19 December 1974
on the common organisation of the market in Bugar ( l ), as last amended by
Regulation ( EEC ) No 1396/78 ( 2 ), and in particular Article 9 ( 5 ) thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas Article 9 ( 3 ) of Regulation ( EEC ) No 3330/74 provides that appro­
priate measures are to be taken in the event of difficulties arising in
the disposal of 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 the raw sugar delivered at the place of refining , the outlets after
processing , the necessary refining margin for sugar refined in a refinery
as defined in Article 9 ( 7 ) of Regulation ( EEC ) N o 3330/74 a-nd "the
differential amount fixed by Council Regulation ( EEC ) N o          /7 9
             1979 fixing , for the 1979/80 sugar marketing year , the differential
charge to be levied on raw preferential sugar and the differential amount
to be grant ed in respect of raw cane sugar from the French overseas
departments ( 3 ),
