COMMISSION DECISION of 24 June 1994 authorizing Portugal to import from third countries at a reduced levy certain quantities of raw sugar during the period 1 July 1994 to 28 February 1995 (Only the Portuguese text is authentic) (94/361/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/91 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 133/94 (2), and in particular Articles 13 (2), 16 (7) and 16a (11) thereof,
Whereas Article 16a (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 has fixed the maximum quantity of raw sugar to be imported at a reduced levy from certain ACP States in order to supply the Portuguese refineries for the 1994/95 marketing year;
Whereas Article 16a (2) of the said Regulation provides in particular that, where, during the specified period, the Community forward estimate for raw sugar shows that the availability of raw sugar is insufficient to ensure adequate supply of Portuguese  refineries, Portugal may be authorized to import from third countries under that period the quantities which it is estimated are lacking; whereas the forward estimate, for the period 1 July 1994 to 30 June 1995 of Community raw sugar available for  refining does not at this stage enable the quantities that the Portuguese refinettes are lacking to be determined with any accuracy: whereas to ensure adequate supplies in these circumstances there should be fixed a quantity to be imported from third  countries at a reduced levy for a specified period enabling the actual availabilities of Community raw sugar, particularly as regards the production of the French overseas department of RĂŠunion;
Whereas, in order to ensure sound management of the markets in the sector and, in particular, effective control of operations, it is necessary to apply to the sugar concerned the normal rules for performance of the customs formalities for import;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
