of 26 October 2007
amending Regulation (EC) No 290/2007 as regards the refining needs referred to in Article 29 of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 40(2)(d) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 290/2007 of 16 March 2007 establishing, for the 2007/08 marketing year, the percentage provided for in Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 (2) fixed the withdrawal percentage for that marketing year at 13,5 %.
(2) Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 290/2007 adjusted the traditional supply needs for refining sugar under Article 29(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 by applying to them a reduction equal to the withdrawal percentage, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 19(1) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, in the version in force at the time of the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 290/2007. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2007 (3), the said needs should not be adjusted by a withdrawal applied to sugar and isoglucose production under quotas. The reduction should therefore no longer be applied to the said needs.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 290/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
