The Commission would also like to stress that, even though the CMO for sugar was not included in the 1992 reform or in Agenda 2000, it incorporates several of the same objectives: control of production and of budget expenditure. 
Kommissionen betonar fr vrigt att den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden fr socker, ven om den inte ingr i 1992 rs reform eller i Agenda 2000, omfattas av flera av samma ml, exempelvis kontroll av produktionen och budgetutgifterna.
The CourtŐs main findings (a) As the Court states (paragraph 24), the Commission departments possessed extensive information about the sugar market. 
Revisionsrttens viktigaste slutsatser a) Kommissionens avdelningar hade, som revisionsrtten anger i punkt 24, tillgng till omfattande information om sockermarknaden.
The Council received all the information it needed to take its decision. 
Rdet har erhllit all denna information som underlag fr sitt beslut.
No national delegation asked the Commission to present other alternatives, apart from two which asked for prices to be reduced. (b) The Commission is aware of the difficulties in obtaining information on the sugar industryŐs commercial situation. 
Ingen delegation har bett kommissionen lgga fram alternativ, med undantag fr tv delegationer som uttalade sig fr lgre priser. b) Kommissionen r medveten om svrigheterna vid informa-tionsinhmtande rrande den ekonomiska situationen inom sockersektorn.
Confidentiality problems are inherent in gathering information on the sugar industryŐs actual production costs, and the same applies to the second-stage processing industry (which accounts for 70 % of the sugar volume consumed in the Union). 
Det freligger konfidentialitetsproblem vid insamlandet av information rrande faktiska produktionskostnader inom sockerindustrin och industrin fr vidare bearbetning, som anvnder 70 % av det socker som konsumeras inom EU. KOMMISSIONENS SVAR
C 50/24 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 15.2.2001 (d) The economies of the ACP countries, and in particular Mauritius, do indeed largely depend on the special arrangements for sugar continuing. 
C 50/24 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 15.2.2001 d) Ekonomin inom AVS-staterna, framfr allt Mauritius, r i stor utstrckning beroende av att de srskilda bestmmelserna fr sockersektorn tillmpas.
That is why the ACP countries are very attached to maintaining the Sugar Protocol linked to the Lom Convention. (e) In order to meet budget and GATT constraints, the Commission is able to limit the export programme and reduce quotas if necessary. 
Det r sledes viktigt fr AVS-staterna att det sockerprotokoll som hr till Lomkonventionen bibehlls. e) Kommissionen kan, med hnsyn till de begrnsningar som franleds av budgeten och av GATT-verenskommelser, begrnsa exportprogrammet och minska kvoterna om detta visar sig ndvndigt.
At all events, the Commission has always had to take into account the economic and commercial reality of the world market each marketing year when managing tenders. (f) The Commission does not share the CourtŐs view. (g) The statistics used to calculate production levies are supplied by the Member States. 
Det har hur som helst alltid varit ndvndigt fr kommissionen att fr varje regleringsr beakta de ekonomiska och handelsmssiga frhllandena p vrldsmarknaden vid frvaltningen av anbudsfrfarandena. f) Kommissionen instmmer inte i revisionsrttens synpunkter. g) Den statistik som anvnds fr att berkna produktionsavgif-terna tillhandahlls av medlemsstaterna.
Since the completion of the single market, its specific rules have made intra-Community trade statistics more difficult to obtain. 
Sedan den inre marknaden infrdes r det, p grund av de freskrifter som gller fr denna, svrare att f statistik ver handeln inom gemenskapen.
However, the self-financing nature of the system is attained not only on an annual basis but also on a multiannual one, and the checks carried out by the Commission show that the production levies still cover the cost of exporting Community surpluses. 
Sjlvfinansieringen av ordningen sker inte enbart p rsbasis, utan ven p flerrig basis, och kommissionens granskningar visar att kostnaderna fr export av gemenskapsverskottet alltjmt tcks av produktionsavgifter.
The Commission nevertheless notes the CourtŐs suggestions. (h) Checks are carried out by the authorities responsible in the Member States: customs departments, Ministry of Finance departments and Ministry of Agriculture departments. 
Kommissionen noterar revisionsrttens frslag. h) Kontrollerna utfrs av medlemsstaternas behriga myndigheter, dvs. tullmyndigheter samt finansministeriernas och jordbruks-ministeriernas berrda avdelningar.
The Commission in turn audits those checks via the accounts clearance procedure and by means of unannounced visits to sugar undertakings. 
Kommissionen granskar i sin tur dessa kontroller i samband med frfarandet fr avslutande av rkenskaperna och genom oanmlda besk p plats frn kommissionen inom sockerindustrin.
OUTCOMES (b) While it is aware of the criticisms focusing on the lack of competition under the present system, the Commission would nevertheless like to stress that the product (sugar) placed on the Community market under similar guarantee conditions is homogeneous and of a quality which is valued highly both inside and outside the Community. (c) See the comments above on the CMO for sugar. 
RESULTAT b) Kommissionen r medveten om kritiken att konkurrensen r bristfllig med den nuvarande ordningen. Man betonar emellertid den homogena karaktren hos den produkt (socker) som under likartade garantivillkor salufrs p gemenskapsmarknaden och vars kvalitet r hgt uppskattad svl inom som utanfr gemenskapen. c) Se kommentarer ovan under Óden gemensamma organisationen av marknaden fr sockerÓ.
INTRODUCTION 3. 
INLEDNING 3.
Annex I to the CourtŐs observations describes the Community sugar budget for 1995 to 2000. 
I bilaga I redovisar revisionsrtten gemenskapsbudgeten fr socker fr perioden 1995Đ2000.
The net cost for 1999 was EUR 909 million; it was EUR 706 million in 1998 and is expected to be EUR 833 million in 2000. 
Fr 1998 uppgick nettokostnaden till 706 miljoner euro, 1999 till 909 miljoner euro och den berknas bli 833 miljoner euro 2000.
The Commission would like to point out that more than 90 % of that net expenditure comprises the export costs for a quantity equivalent to the sugar imported from the ACP countries (1,7 million tonnes), and is therefore tantamount to a kind of development aid. 
Kommissionen ppekar att dessa nettokostnader till ver 90 % hrrr frn exportkostnader fr en kvantitet motsvarande det socker som importerats frn AVS-stater (1,7 miljoner ton) och att kostnaderna sledes kan ses som en typ av utvecklingsbistnd.
The Commission regards as excessive the CourtŐs estimate of the cost borne by the consumer (see paragraphs 81 and 82). 
Kommissionen anser att revisionsrttens bedmning r verdriven nr det gller den kostnad som brs av konsumenterna (se punkterna 81Đ82).
THE EU AND THE WORLD SUGAR MARKET 10. 
EU-OCH VRLDSMARKNADEN F R SOCKER 10.
Community rules permit non-quota production, in excess of the quantities under Community guarantee. 
Enligt gemenskapens freskrifter fr produktionen verstiga kvoterna, dvs. g utver kvantiteterna med gemenskapsgaranti.
The sugar surplus on the Community market is approximately 3 million tonnes, comprising a Community production surplus of roughly 1,3 million tonnes in relation to consumption which results from the beet production quota fixed by the Council, and a quantity of roughly 1,7 million tonnes equivalent to preferential imports from the ACP countries and India, on the basis of preferential agreements adopted by the Council. 
Det bestr dels av ett verskott p omkring 1,3 miljoner ton i gemenskapens produktion i frhllande till konsumtionen, vilket beror p den produktionskvot fr sockerbetor som faststllts av rdet, dels av en kvantitet p omkring 1,7 miljoner ton socker som motsvarar den frmnsimport frn AVS-staterna och Indien som hrrr frn de frmnsavtal som rdet har antagit.
Lastly, it should be noted that Community white sugar finds an outlet on the world white sugar market, where there is an obvious demand which other countries cannot satisfy (at least in the short term). 
Det br slutligen noteras att vitsocker frn gemenskapen avstts p vrldsmarknaden dr det finns efterfrgan som, tminstone p kort sikt, inte kan tillfredsstllas av andra lnder.
15.2.2001 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 50/25 MANAGEMENT BY THE COMMISSION Commission proposals on quotas 18 to 31. 
15.2.2001 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 50/25 KOMMISSIONENS F RVALTNING Kommissionens frslag till kvoter 18Đ31.
The Commission welcomes the CourtŐs acknowledgement that the Commission departments Ôprepared a thorough assessment of the operation of the sugar regime, its impact and the challenges it faced. 
Kommissionen hlsar med tillfredsstllelse revisionsrttens iakttagelse att kommissionens avdelningar utarbetat en Ógrundlig bedmning av sockersystemets funktion, dess effekter och de utmaningar den stod infr.
An internal working group considered a wide range of options for reform, some of them quite radicalŐ (paragraph24oftheCourtŐsobservations). 
En intern arbetsgrupp vervgde mnga olika reformalternativ, varav ngra var ganska radi-kala.Ó (Punkt 24 i revisionsrttens iakttagelser.)
The Commission therefore had all the information needed to present its proposals to the Council, the European Parliament and the Economic and Social Committee Ń proposals which would significantly alter the system. 
Kommissionen hade sledes tillgng till alla de uppgifter som krvdes fr att lgga fram sina frslag till rdet, parlamentet och Ekonomiska och sociala kommittn om ndringar av systemet.
The system was in fact rolled forward three times in four years pending the outcome of the GATT negotiations. 
Faktum r att systemet har frlngts tre gnger p fyra r i avvaktan p resultatet av GATT-frhandlingarna.
During that stage preceding the Commission proposal for 1995 to 2001, the Commission, the Council and the Working Parties received all the information needed to take their decisions. 
I detta skede, infr kommissionens frslag fr perioden 1995Đ2001, har kommissionen, rdet och arbetsgrupperna erhllit all den information de behver fr sina beslut.
The national delegations did not ask the Commission to present other alternatives, with only two delegations arguing in favour of reducing prices. 
Delegationerna har inte bett kommissionen presentera andra alternativ; tv delegationer har fresprkat prissnkningar.
The Commission would stress that the Council voted for the Commission proposal by a very large majority (82 out of 87) with the favourable opinion of the European Parliament. Annual proposals for institutional prices Data used in preparing the price proposals 33 to 36. 
Kommissionen betonar att rdet med synnerligen stor majoritet (82 rster av 87) har beslutat om kommissionens frslag efter ett positivt yttrande frn Europaparlamentet. rliga frslag till institutionella priser Uppgifter som anvnds fr att frbereda prisfrslagen 33Đ36.
Since it cannot possibly have access to any industryŐs real production costs, the Commission draws up its analyses on the basis of data supplied by specialist professional bodies and publications as well as profit and loss accounts published by sugar companies. 
Eftersom det r praktiskt omjligt att ha verblick ver hela industrins allmnna produktionskostnader utarbetar kommissionen sina analyser p grundval av dels uppgifter frn fackorgan och -publikationer, dels resultat som offentliggjorts av sockerfretag.
The Commission would like to stress that institutional prices and hence also the manufacturing margin have effectively been frozen for over 15 years (there was even a 2 % fall in 1989/1990), which means that the prices and the margin have fallen in real terms over the period. 
Kommissionen understryker att de institutionella priserna, och drmed ven tillverkningsmarginalen, har hllits p samma niv i ver 15 r (det skedde till och med en minskning med 2 % under 1989/1990). Detta innebar en reell minskning av priserna och av marginalerna under perioden.
The results of the study to which the Court refers at paragraph 36 are not borne out by the facts. 
Nr det gller den studie som revisionsrtten nmner i punkt 36, stds den inte av faktiska frhllanden.
Taking account of the CAP objectives 37 and 38. 
Beaktande av den gemensamma jordbrukspolitikens ml 37Đ38.
Maintaining minimum prices unchanged for 15 years has led to a price reduction in real terms for producers. 
Att behlla minimipriserna ofrndrade under 15 r har lett till en reell minskning fr producenterna.
A price cut, offset by direct aid to agricultural producers, would entail substantial budget costs exceeding the budget constraints for 2000 to 2006. 
En prisminskning, kompenserad genom direkta std till jordbruksproducenterna, skulle innebra betydande budgetkostnader som verskrider budgetramarna fr perioden 2000Đ2006.
As regards environmental aspects, the amounts of fertiliser, her-bicide and pesticide used for each tonne of beet or sugar produced is decreasing steadily (less used per hectare and increased yields per hectare). 
Betrffande miljaspekter sker en regelbunden minskning av frbrukningen av gdningsmedel, ogrsbekmpningsmedel och vxtskyddsmedel per ton sockerbetor eller ton framstllt socker (minskad dosering per hektar och kad avkastning per hektar). Prisnivn 39Đ41.
The Commission would stress that: (a) prices have been frozen since 1984/1985; (b) the Council adopted its proposals by a very large majority; (c) it is quite normal for the Commission to present only one proposal after examining the economic position and taking into account the political situation in the Community at the time. 
Kommissionen nskar betona fljande: a) Priserna har varit ofrndrade sedan 1984/1985. b) Rdet har antagit kommissionens frslag med synnerligen bred majoritet. c) Det r fullt normalt att kommissionen lgger fram ett frslag frst efter att ha granskat de ekonomiska frhllandena och beaktat den politiska situationen i gemenskapen vid en given tidpunkt.
After examining the evidence available for the ACP countries in respect of each marketing year, the Commission proposes prices to those countries which take economic factors into account as far as possible within the limits of the Community intervention price. 
Efter genomgng av AVS-staternas motiveringar fr varje regleringsr freslr kommissionen dessa lnder priser som innebr att strsta mjliga hnsyn tas till ekonomiska faktorer, inom ramen fr gemenskapens interventionspriser.
Management of the export programme 46 to 52. 
Frvaltningen av exportprogrammet 46Đ52.
The theoretical calculation of refunds in the sugar sector is based on the intervention price and not on the internal market price as in other sectors. 
Den teoretiska berkningen av bidraget inom sockersektorn grundas p interventionspriset och inte, som fr andra sektorer, p priset p den inre marknaden.
This calculation not only accords well with reality but also greatly restricts commercial companiesŐ room for manoeuvre, their competitiveness being fundamentally dependent on the state of the world market. 
Denna kalkyl motsvarar de faktiska frhllandena, men innebr ocks en kraftig begrnsning av fretagens handlingsutrymme, d deras konkurrenskraft r helt beroende av situationen p vrldsmarknaden.
The management of tenders must take into account the economic and commercial realities of the world market prevailing in each marketing year. 
Vid frvaltningen av anbud mste hnsyn tas till de ekonomiska och handelsmssiga frhllandena p vrldsmarknaden under varje regleringsr.
The tendering procedures are transparent; over the past five marketing years some 95 % of the opinions by the Management Committee have been favourable (223 favourable opinions out of 233 procedures). 
Anbudsfrfarandena r transparenta; frvaltningskommittn har under de senaste 5 regleringsren avgett ett positivt yttrande i omkring 95 % av fallen (223 positiva yttranden av 233 anbud).
C 50/26 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 15.2.2001 54. 
C 50/26 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 15.2.2001 54.
The Commission cannot reconcile its duty of proper management with the use of speculative market factors as criteria in the tendering procedure. 
Kommissionen kan inte skta frvaltningen genom att anvnda rent teoretiska marknadsvrden som kriterium vid anbudsfrfarandet.
The Commission would like to point out that under current rules and the Marrakesh Agreement (WTO) the cost of disposing of Community production surpluses (not including the quantities corresponding to imports from ACP countries and India) is wholly covered by production levies. 
Kommissionen ppekar att enligt de befintliga freskrifterna och enligt Marrakech-verenskommelsen (WTO) skall kostnaderna fr avsttning av gemenskapens verskottsproduktion (oberoende av de kvantiteter som importeras frn AVS-stater och Indien) tckas av produktionsavgifter.
Self-financing of the regime is guaranteed not only on an annual basis but also on a multiannual one and the verifications carried out by the Commission demonstrate that expenditure on exporting the Community surpluses is effectively covered by the production levies. 
Sjlvfinansieringen av ordningen skerstlls inte enbart p rlig basis, utan ven p flerrs-basis, och de granskningar som utfrs av kommissionen visar att exportkostnaderna faktiskt tcks av produktionsavgifterna.
56 and 57. Single market rules make the production of intra-Community statistics difficult because of the differing declaration thresholds operated by the Member States. 
P grund av freskrifterna fr den inre marknaden r det svrt att f fram statistik ver produktion och handel inom gemenskapen, eftersom medlemsstaterna har olika trskelvrden fr inlmnande av deklarationer.
The Commission has already considered the use of licences and discussed it within the Management Committee. 
Anvndandet av licenser har redan vervgts av kommissionen och diskuterats inom frvaltningskommittn.
At the present time such a system would not solve the problems relating to processed products. 
Fr nrvarande skulle ett sdant system inte lsa problemen rrande bearbetade produkter.
Over the years the CommissionŐs clearance of accounts unit has carried out controls of production and stocks, but the risk of unjustified expenditure is considered low and the control frequency reflects that assessment. 
Kommissionens avdelning fr avslutande av rkenskaperna utfr kontroller av produktion och lager, men risken att det freligger omotiverade utgifter bedms vara liten.
The most recent controls carried out were in 1991 to 1994. 
De senaste kontrollerna skedde under 1991Đ1994.
60 to 63. A Commission working paper addressed to Member StatesŐ authorities on control of the sugar storage scheme under Regulation (EEC) No 4045/89 was drawn up in 1999 to provide guidance to staff performing ex post controls under Regulation (EEC) No 4045/89. 
Kommissionen utarbetade 1999 ett arbetsdokument avsett fr medlemsstaternas myndigheter. I detta dokument behandlades granskningen av ordningen fr lagring av socker enligt frordning (EEG) nr 4045/89 och riktlinjer angavs fr de kontrollrer som utfr granskningar i efterhand enligt frordning nr (EEG) 4045/89.
The CommissionŐs responsiveness to the various stakeholders and to events affecting the CMO 67. 
Kommissionens reaktioner gentemot olika intressenter och vid hndelser som pverkat den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden 67.
The Commission was not obliged to consult the Management Committee for Sugar before starting its evaluation, neither does it have to consult the Committee when carrying out internal studies or arranging for external studies. 
Kommissionen var inte tvungen att samrda med Frvaltningskommittn fr socker fre utvrderingen, och inte heller att samrda med frvaltningskommittn d man genomfr interna studier eller lter genomfra externa studier.
However, the Management Committee was informed of the start of the evaluation of the sugar CMO and was given the tender specifications when the call for tenders was launched in April 1999. 
Frvaltningskommittn informerades dock om utvrderingen av den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden fr socker, och man fick ta del av uppgiftsbeskrivningen d anbudsinfordran inleddes i april 1999.
Achievement of the objectives of the CMO 72. (a) The Court notes that farm income from sugar beet is Ôup to twice that from alternative cropsŐ. 
Uppfyllande av mlen fr den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden 72. a) Revisionsrtten anger att de jordbruksinkomster som hrrr frn sockerbetsodling r Óupp till tv gnger den som andra grdor gerÓ.
If the comparison had been with potatoes or cotton, for instance, the result would have been quite different. 
Utfallet skulle ha blivit ett helt annat om jmfrelsen avsett potatis eller bomull.
Beet growers also produce, for example, wheat and beef and it is their overall income which counts in terms of the objectives set for the CAP in the Treaty. (d) The Union decided to limit quotas by region. 
Sockerbetsodlarna r ven producenter av, exempelvis, vete och ntktt. Det r deras totala inkomster som rknas i de ml fr den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken som faststllts i frdraget. d) EU har beslutat att begrnsa kvoterna per region.
This policy indicates a clear desire to safeguard a degree of production in all the regions of the Community so as to contribute directly to rural development both in terms of beet growing and in terms of sugar production. 
Detta visar en klar vilja att skerstlla en viss produktionsniv i gemenskapens samtliga regioner p ett stt som direkt bidrar till landsbygdens utveckling nr det gller svl sockerbetsodling som sockerframstllning.
The Commission would point out to the Court that the objectives of multifunctionality in agricultural activities amount to a deliberate policy of rural development. 
Kommissionen nskar fsta revisionsrttens uppmrksamhet p att mlen med flerfunk-tionell jordbruksverksamhet innebr en medveten politik fr landsbygdsutveckling.
The Court itself indicates that world market prices are not a fully objective indicator. 
Som revisionsrtten sjlv nmner utgr vrldsmarknadspriserna inte en helt objektiv indikator.
Prices in the Union are in fact no different from those in many other industrialised countries. 
Prisnivn inom EU skiljer sig inte stort frn priserna i mnga andra industrialiserade lnder.
For example: Ń SugarpricesintheUnitedStates,CanadaandAustraliaare2,9 times the level of world market prices. 
Fljande anges som exempel: Ń Sockerpriserna i USA, Kanada och Australien r 2,9 gnger hgre n vrldsmarknadspriserna.
In the United States the sugar Ôintervention priceŐ fixed for 1996 to 2002 is similar to that fixed for the Community. The Commission will forward the sugar CMO evalu- 
I USA r det Óinterventions-prisÓ fr socker som faststllts fr perioden 1996Đ2002 liknande det som faststllts fr gemenskapen.
