(2) Under Article 1(2)(f) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 314/2002 of 20 February 2002 laying down detailed rules for the application of the quota system in the sugar sector(2) from 1 February 2004 quantities of syrups used in making live yeast are excluded from the calculation of sugar production for the purposes of Articles 13 to 18 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
