REGULATION (EEC) No 431/68 OF THE COUNCIL  of 9 April 1968  determining the standard quality for raw sugar and fixing the Community frontier crossing point for calculating c.i.f. prices for sugar
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation No 1009/67/EEC 1 of 18 December 1967 on the common organisation of the market in sugar, and in particular Articles 3 (6) and 13 (3) thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas Article 3 (6) of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC provides that a standard quality for raw sugar must be determined;
Whereas the standard quality should correspond to an average quality which is representative of raw sugars produced in the Community ; whereas the standard quality must be determined by reference to a criterion used by the trade, in this instance yield ; whereas to determine actual yield use should be made of formulae which are sufficiently accurate and which are easy to apply;
Whereas Article 13 (3) of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC provides that a Community frontier crossing point must be fixed for the purpose of calculating the c.i.f. price for white sugar, raw sugar and molasses ; whereas the crossing point chosen should make it possible to calculate a representative c.i.f. price for the Community;
