The basio sugar Regulation requires that where the margin
necessary for the refining of raw preferential sugar exoeeds
the raw beet refining margin taken into acoount in the
determination of the relevant Community prices a oharge shall
be levied on raw preferential sugar when it is refined in
a "mixed" refinery# It is proposed that the oharge fixed for
1975/76 should be retained in 1976/77*
The basio Regulation also provides that an amount equal to
the above charge shall be granted for DOM raw sugar refined
in a "pure " refinery#

 THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
 Having regard to - the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community^ ~
 Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC ) No 3330/74 of 19 December 1974 on the common      '
 organization of the market in sugar (l ), as last amended by Regulation (ESC ) NO 832/76 (2 ),
 and in particular Articles 9 ( 5 ) and. 47 (l ) thereof ,
 Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
 Whereas Article 46 (l ) of Regulation ( EEC ) No 3330/74 provides that where there is a
 difference between , on the one hand , the raw   sugar refining margin taken into account
 in the determination of the intervention and     threshold prices for raw sugar and , on
 the other hand , the margin necessary for the    refining of raw preferential sugar , a
 differential charge to be made on the latter     sugar shall be fixed for the sugar
 marketing year in question ;
 'Whereas the bulk of the raw preferential sugar cannot be refined unless use is made of
 the refineries as defined in Article 9 ( 7 ) of the said Regulation ? whereas
 the margin required for the refining of the said susrar in such refineries is greater
  on the information at 'present to hand than that taken into account when determining
 the intervention and threshold prices for raw sugar for the 1976/77 sugar marketing
 year j whereas a differential charge should therefore be fixed for that year ;
 whereas the amount thereof may be fixed at a flat rate of 1,20 units of account
 per 100 kilogrammes of sugar expressed as white sugar, taking into account the '
 differences in certain of the components of the refining costs for the said raw ;
Whereas Article 46 ( 2 ) (b ) of the " said Regulation grondes for the
non-application of the whole of the charge , or part of the charge , to any raw preferential
 sugar which is imported into regions of the Community and refined there in a production
unit other than a refinery as defined in Article 9 (7 ) thereofj whereas ,            _    _
 having regard to the traditional patterns of trade in the sugar to Ireland , a total
quantity of 30 000 metric tons of that sugar expressed as white sugar imported ana
 refined in that region between 1 November 1975 and 30 June 1976 was exempted from the
differential charge ; whereas , for the same reasons , that exemption, should be continued
in respect of Ireland for the 1976/ 77 sugar marketing yeari

Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 9 ( 3 ) of the said
Regulation provides ,in particular , that    where a differential charge has
been fixed , a differential amount equal to that charge shall be granted
for the raw sugar produced in the French overseas departments and refined
in a refinery as defined in paragraph 7 of that Article and which is
situated in the Community ; whereas that amount should therefore be fixed
at 1.20 units of account per 100 kilogrammes of white sugar »

                                         Article 1

                                         Article 2
    The differential charge 1 referred to in Article 46 (l ) of Regulation ( EEC.)
    No 3330/74 shall be fixed at 1.20 units of account per 100 kilogrammes of
    sugar expressed as white sugar by reference to a raw sugar yield calculated
    by doubling the degree of polarization of that sugar and deducting 100
    therefrom .
    Nevertheless , this charge shall not apply to raw preferential sugar refined
    during the 1976/77 sugar marketing year in Ireland up to a maximum quantity
    of 30 000 metric tons of sugar expressed as white sugar *
                 »
                                         Article 3
