REGULATION (EEC) No 729/69 OF THE COUNCIL  of 22 April 1969  amending Articles 7 and 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 766/68 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on 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, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2100/68, (2) and in particular Article 17 (2) thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas Article 7 (2) and (3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 766/68 (3) of 18 June 1968 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on sugar contains general rules for fixing the export refund on the products listed in Article 1 (1) (d) of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC ; whereas the need to establish a balance with the use of products brought in under inward processing arrangements constitutes an exception to these general rules ; whereas Article 7 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 766/68 provides that, if the basic amount of the refund is to be altered at the time of the monthly fixing or between two monthly fixings, the components used in calculation must have undergone a minimum variation;
Whereas experience has demonstrated that the present system does not satisfy the needs of the economy ; whereas, in order to remedy this situation, Article 7 (2) and Article 7 (3) should have equal force and whereas there should no longer be any need for the components used in calculation to have undergone a minimum variation if the basic amount of the refund is to be altered at the time of the monthly fixing ; whereas this requirement should, however, be retained in the case of any alteration between two monthly fixings ; whereas an amount of 0.60 units of account per 100 kilogrammes seems appropriate as the minimum alteration in the components of the calculation;
Whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 766/68 lays down detailed rules for calculating the refund on the products listed in Article 1 (1) (d) of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC ; whereas several basic amounts of the refund may be applied successively to the products in question in any one month ; whereas that Article should therefore be amended;
