COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1065/2007
of 17 September 2007
amending Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 laying down transitional measures within the framework of the reform of the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 44 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 of 27 March 2006 laying down transitional measures within the framework of the reform of the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector, and amending Regulations (EC) No 1265/2001 and (EC) No 314/2002 (2), provides for preventive withdrawal. As a result, above a certain threshold, the production under quota of each undertaking is considered withdrawn within the meaning of Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 or, if so requested by the undertaking before 31 January 2007, as produced in excess of the quota within the meaning of Article 12 of that Regulation.
(2) On the deadline of 31 January 2007 isoglucose producers were not, unlike sugar producers, in a position to make such a request due to the continuous, year-round nature of their production. In the interests of fairness this deadline should, for isoglucose producers, be postponed to the end of the 2006/2007 marketing year to enable them to take their decision and make their request in full knowledge of the facts.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 should be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for sugar,
