COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 89/87
of 14 January 1987
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1998/78 laying down detailed rules for the offsetting of storage costs for sugar
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 3666/86 (2), and in particular Article 8 (5) thereof,
Whereas the application of the compensation system for storage costs was suspended with regard to preferential sugar for an experimental period comprising the marketing years 1982/83 to 1984/85; whereas the application of this system to preferential sugar has subsequently been discontinued on a permanent basis with effect from the 1985/86 marketing year;
Whereas in certain cases a manufacturer of sugar or a refiner has to store sugar which is eligible for reimbursement and sugar which is not so eligible together in the same warehouse without the possibility of distinguishing between them; whereas, consequently in order, to be able to apply the reimbursement to the sugar in question, it is appropriate to make use of the pro rata rule taking account of the respective participation of each type of sugar in the initial stock; whereas however when the quantity of sugar eligible for reimbursement included in the initial stock is relatively small, it is appropriate that this pro rata rule should not be applied;
Whereas it is necessary to provide that the abovementioned pro rata rule should continue to be applied in cases where the sugar to which this rule has already been applied is purchased by another person entitled to reimbursement of storage costs; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1998/78 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 645/85 (4), should therefore as a consequence be amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
