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 last amended by Regulations (EEC) Nos 2463/69 (2) and 2485/69, (3) and in particular Article 17 (2) and (3) thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas according to the definition laid down in Article 1 (2) of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC candy sugar falling within heading No 17.01 of the Common Customs Tariff must be regarded as raw sugar ; whereas since candy sugar is manufactured from white sugar this classification gives rise to difficulties when candy sugar is exported;
Whereas, to prevent such difficulties arising, provision should be made for exceptions to certain provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 766/68 (4) of 18 June 1968 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on sugar, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 729/69 (5);
