Language of the case: German

#### **Referring court**

Verwaltungsgerichtshof

#### **Parties to the main proceedings**

*Applicant: Agrana Zucker GmbH*

Defendant: Bundesminister für Land- und Forstwirtschaft, Umwelt und Wasserwirtschaft

#### **Re:**

Reference for a preliminary ruling — Verwaltungsgerichtshof — Interpretation of Article 11 of Council Regulation (EC) No 320/2006 of 20 February 2006 establishing a temporary scheme for the restructuring of the sugar industry in the Community and amending Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (OJ 2006 L 58, p. 42) — Levying of a temporary restructuring amount in a situation in which the temporary restructuring fund shows a considerable surplus and there appears to be no prospect of an increase in financing requirements — Equivalent to introduction of a general tax — Infringement of the principle of conferred powers

#### **Operative part of the judgment**

    

    Article 11 of Council Regulation (EC) No 320/2006 of 20 February 2006 establishing a temporary scheme for the restructuring of the sugar industry in the Community and amending Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy is to be interpreted as meaning that the temporary amount must be raised in full, even if there were to be a revenue surplus in the temporary restructuring fund.

    

    The examination of the second question referred for a preliminary ruling has not revealed anything which might affect the validity of Article 11 of Regulation No 320/2006.
