COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 520/77  of 14 March 1977  on the imposition of an export charge on certain products processed from fruit and vegetables and containing added sugar, in the event of sugar supply difficulties
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 13 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to the first sentence of the first subparagraph of Article 17 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3330/74 of 19 December 1974 on the common organization of the market in sugar (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3138/76 (3), provision may be made for a special levy to be charged on exports of sugar in the event of Community sugar supply difficulties;
Whereas experience gained in applying this measure has shown that its effectiveness may be impaired in cases where sugar is exported in the form of certain products processed from fruit and vegetables and containing added sugar ; whereas this is particularly the case for certain products processed from fruit and vegetables which have a relatively high added sugar content ; whereas provision should therefore be made for a charge to be imposed on exports of the products in question, fixed on the basis of the special levy on sugar exports when that levy exceeds a certain amount and excessive exports are recorded;
Whereas this additional measure must be adopted by derogating from the rule provided for in Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77,
