COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1698/80  of 30 June 1980  supplementing Regulation (EEC) No 797/80 adjusting export levies and refunds fixed in advance in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF 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 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1396/78 (2), and in particular Articles 17 (5) and 19 (2) and (4) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 797/80 of 31 March 1980 adjusting export levies and refunds fixed in advance in the sugar sector (3) provides for an increase in refunds and a decrease in export levies in the case of licences issued prior to 1 July 1980 but used from that date;
Whereas, in the case of export levies, the amount thereof may be lower than the amount of the adjustment in question ; whereas, therefore, in order to avoid any inequality of treatment between operators, it is necessary to supplement the said Regulation by providing that the difference should be considered as an export refund to be granted to the interested party instead of the export levy being charged;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
