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 606/82 (2), and in particular Article 9 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 17 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2103/77 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3218/82 (4), lays down that intervention agencies may require sugar to be delivered in new jute bags with a minimum weight of either 450 grams or 420 grams and lined with polythene of a minimum thickness of either 0,04 mm or 0,05 mm respectively;
Whereas the rules of the main white-sugar markets require sugar to be placed in new jute bags with an inner polythene lining such that the minimum combined weight of bag and polythene is 400 grams; whereas some traders in the Community have used such bags for some time; whereas intervention agencies should therefore be authorized to accept this kind of packing, for which they should bear the related cost in an appropriate manner and at a flat rate;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
