REGULATION (EEC) No 1265/69 OF THE COMMISSION of 1 July 1969 establishing methods for determining the quality of sugar bought-in by intervention agencies
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation No 1009/67/EEC (1) of 18 December 1967 on the common organisation of the market in sugar, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2100/68 (2) and in particular Article 9 (8) thereof;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 782/68 (3) of 26 June 1968 laying down detailed rules of application for the buying-in of sugar by intervention agencies established different quality characteristics for white sugar and raw sugar ; whereas, to prevent Member States applying different methods for determining those quality characteristics, it is necessary to provide uniform rules at Community level;
Whereas generally accepted methods of analysis should be used for such rules;
Whereas the methods in question should be made applicable to buying-in by intervention agencies from the date of entry into force of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC since, in the absence of such methods, contracts have been concluded on a conditional basis;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for sugar;
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The methods for determining the quality characteristics of sugar, referred to in Regulation (EEC) No 782/68, are hereby established as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
