COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2765/90
of 27 September 1990
laying down provisional measures applicable in the sugar sector following the unification of Germany
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2684/90 of 17 September 1990 on the interim measures applicable after the unification of Germany in anticipation of the adoption of transitional measures by the Council either in cooperation with, or after consultation of, the European Parliament (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas sugar production for the 1990/91 marketing year commenced, in the case of the sugar-producing undertakings situated in the region made up of the territory of the former German Democratic Republic, prior to 3 October 1990; whereas in order to ensure the harmonious application of the quota system and its self-financing arrangements in respect of both the producers of this region and those of the other Community regions, and to prevent sugar produced in the said territory at the beginning of the 1990/91 marketing year from constituting C sugar, it is essential that, with effect from 1 July 1990, the date of the start of the marketing year, appropriate measures should now be adopted with regard to sugar production;
Whereas the compensation system for storage costs provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1069/83 (3), comprises a flat-rate reimbursement to be financed by means of a levy chargeable to the sugar producers; whereas, for the same reasons as stated above concerning production, that system must apply to any sugar produced during the 1990/91 marketing year; whereas Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that minimum stocks are to be held by each sugar-producing undertaking in order to ensure normal supplies to the Community as a whole or to one of its areas; whereas this arrangement is closely linked to each undertaking's production and storage and also complies with the principle of Community solidarity; whereas, therefore, provision should provisionally be made for an immediate contribution by the sugar industry of the former German Democratic Republic to that arrangement;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are to apply subject to any changes, which may have a retrospective effect, resulting from the decisions taken by the Council on the proposals presented to it by the Commission, particularly with regard to quotas and transfer of quotas;
Whereas the Management Committee for Sugar has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
