COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 229/87
of 26 January 1987
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commision,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Article 11 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3666/86 (3), specifies that intervention agencies may sell sugar only at a price which is higher than the intervention price unless it is to be exported either in the natural state or after processing or is to be sued for animal feeding;
Whereas this rule prevents the disposal of sugar to charitable organizations for use for human consumption in the Community; whereas provision should therefore be made for such a possibility in the case of individual emergency aid operations assuring the availability of supplies and thus representing at the same time a humanitarian operation;
Whereas such operations are effective only if rapidly implemented; whereas provision should therefore be made for the most appropriate procedure to be sued in such instances,
