 Whereas , when sugar prices are fixed , account should be
 taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy ;
 whereas the objectives of the common agricultural policy                                               Article 2

 prices ;                                                                    be ECU 40 / tonne delivered at the collection centre .
 Whereas , in order to attain these objectives , the target price

Whereas , as a result of the characteristics of the sugar                    ( b ) have a sugar content of 16 % at the reception point .
 market , the risks involved in this trade are relatively slight ;
whereas , consequently , when the intervention price for
sugar is fixed , the difference between the target price and
the intervention price may be fixed at a relatively low                                                 Article 4
 level ;
