of 3 September 1986
laying down detailed rules for the application of measures for the marketing of sugar produced in the French overseas departments and amending for the fourth time Regulation (EEC) No 3016/78
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 934/86 (2), and in particular Article 9 (6) and the second subparagraph of Article 39 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86 of 15 July 1986 laying down measures for the marketing of sugar produced in the French overseas departments and for the equalization of the price conditions with preferential raw sugar (3), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 3 (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June 1985 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (4), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Article 9 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 lays down provisions in order to allow the sugar produced in the French overseas departments to be marketed in the European regions of the Community;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86 provides that flat-rate Community aid for the marketing in the European regions of the Community of sugar produced in the French overseas departments shall be granted, under certain conditions, to the producers and refiners of such sugar;
Whereas detailed rules relating to the determination of weights and sugar yields should be laid down, particularly where products of this nature are transported in bulk in the same vessel but on behalf of several producers;
Whereas, in general, a considerable period elapses between the date on which the sugar in question is loaded and that on which the arrival formalities are completed so as to permit the payment of the aid by the competent agency; whereas, therefore, provision should be made for advance payments;
Whereas it appears necessary to specify precisely how the single flat-rate amount referred to at (b) in the first paragraph of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86 is to be applied;
Whereas adequate measures for the control of refined sugar, and for this purpose also a definition of refining, should be laid down;
Whereas the application of the measures laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86 requires the amendment of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3016/78 of 20 December 1978 laying down certain rules for applying conversion rates in the sugar and isoglucose sectors (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 713/83 (6);
Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86 provides for the grant of aid for raw sugar produced in the French overseas departments and refined in a refinery situated in the European regions of the Community within the limits of the quantities to be determined according to the regions of destination concerned and separately according to origin; whereas the determination of these quantities must be carried out on the basis of a Community supply balance sheet for raw sugar;
Whereas the application of these arrangements to the 1986/87 marketing year requires the fixing of the quantities referred to in the Annex to this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
