15.2.2001 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 50/27 Ń In Norway, where all sugar is bought on the world market, consumer prices for white sugar are more or less the same as in the Community; for some processed products they are in fact considerably higher. quotas, is some 10 % of consumption, 1,3 million tonnes, of which the Community is allowed to export 1,2735 million tonnes under the WTO agreements. (b) The world price is not a particularly objective indicator, as the Court itself acknowledges in paragraph 82 of its report. (c) Stocks run at 2 million tonnes, but only 1,1 million tonnes are normally available, and this is less than 10 % of consumption. (d) The Commission is aware of the fact that the system has been subject to criticism implying that the lack of competition is due to the highly segmented nature of the market and to concentration in the sector. 
15.2.2001 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 50/27 Ń I Norge, dr allt socker kps p vrldsmarknaden, r konsumentpriserna fr vitsocker i stort sett desamma som i gemenskapen; rentav betydligt hgre fr vissa bearbetade produkter. grundval av produktionskvoter, till omkring 10 % av konsumtionen (1,3 miljoner ton).
However, the Commission endeavours to restrict the anti-competitive effects of the system by actively applying Community competition rules in the sugar sector, as can be seen from the numerous anti-trust proceedings and the fines recently imposed (British Sugar 1997, Irish Sugar 1999). (e) In the CommissionŐs opinion the cost of such controls in terms of the organisation of an entire sector is reasonable in comparison to the production levies. 
Kommissionen arbetar dock fr att motverka ordningens konkurrensbegrnsande effekter genom aktiv tillmpning av gemenskapens freskrifter rrande konkurrens inom sockersektorn. Detta visas av ett flertal antitrustfrfaranden som kommissionen drivit inom denna sektor samt av de bter som nyligen utfrdats (British Sugar/1997, Irish Sugar/1999). e) Kostnadenfrdessakontrolleravorganisationeninomen hel sektor frefaller, enligt kommissionens sikt, rimlig i frhllande till produktionsavgifterna.
The production levies and the cost of exporting a quantity equivalent to imports from ACP countries, which form the major part of budget expenditure, are independent of consumption. 
Produktionsavgifterna och kostnaderna fr export av en kvantitet socker motsvarande importen frn AVS-staterna, vilket utgr huvuddelen av budgetutgifterna, r oberoende av konsumtionen.
The method of calculating production levies is based on identifying the proportion of expenditure to be borne by Community producers. 
Kommissionen pminner om att berkningsmetoden baseras p identifiering av den andel av utgifterna som ligger gemenskaps-producenterna.
The sum of EUR 6 500 million is not representative and does not, in the CommissionŐs view, reflect economic or budget reality. 
Beloppet 6 500 miljoner euro r inte representativt och enligt kommissionens uppfattning terspeglar det inte den ekonomiska och budgetmssiga verkligheten.
It is based on a calculation supported by basic data (world and intervention prices) which have only a theoretical significance. 
Beloppet r baserat p en berkning dr de grunddata som anvnds (vrldsmarknadspris och interventionspris) endast har teoretisk betydelse.
The world price of EUR 200 per tonne used by the Court is not a relevant indicator of consumer price both because it is highly volatile and given its current level, which is less than the most efficient producersŐ production costs. 
Det vrldsmarknadspris p 200 euro/ton som revisionsrtten nmner r inte en relevant indikator p konsumentpriset, dels p grund av att vrldsmarknadspriserna fluktuerar hgst avsevrt, dels p grund av dess nuvarande lga vrde, vilket ligger under de mest effektiva producenternas produktionskostnader.
In fact, the Court itself indicates that it is not a Ôfully objective indicatorŐ. 
Revisionsrtten anger fr vrigt sjlv att vrldsmarknadspriserna inte r en helt objektiv indikator.
Moreover, the CourtŐs calculation does not take adequate account of the economic realities linked to equilibrium on the sugar market. 
I revisionsrttens berkning tas dessutom inte tillrcklig hnsyn till de ekonomiska frhllandena rrande jmvikten p sockermarknaden.
If the Community had to draw its supplies from the world market, the additional demand which that would generate would immediately push up world prices significantly. 
Om gemenskapen vore tvungen att tcka sitt socker-behov p vrldsmarknaden skulle den kade efterfrgan detta innebr driva upp vrldsmarknadspriserna avsevrt.
74. the successive enlargements of the Community. The increase in quotas in the 1970s was linked to sugar supply shortages. 
74. de olika utvidgningarna av EU. kningen av kvoterna under 1970-talet berodde p ett alltfr litet sockerutbud.
In the 1990s, EU surplus production remained fairly stable. 
Under 1990-talet var EU:s verskottsproduktion frhllandevis stabil.
The increases in quotas shown in Chart 2 largely followed The current surplus situation on the world market is due to considerable increases in production in a number of the other main sugar-producing countries. 
De kningar av kvoterna som anges i figur 2 fljer i stort sett Den faktiska verskottssituationen p vrldsmarknaden beror p avsevrda produktionskningar i ett antal av de andra stora sockerproducerande lnderna.
The world market is increasing by some one million tonnes per year while Community exports to that market remain stable (5 to 5,5 million tonnes) and are not subject to cycles. 
Vrldsmarknaden kar med omkring 1,0 miljoner ton/r, samtidigt som gemenskapens export till denna marknad alltjmt r stabil (5Đ5,5 miljoner ton) och varierar inte cykliskt.
Brazil, on the other hand, which has incidentally also implemented a bio-alcohol programme, increased its exports in the 1990s from 1,5 million tonnes per year to 11,0 million tonnes in 1999/2000 on a total world market of some 38 million tonnes; Thailand and Australia have also increased their exports. 
Brasilien dremot, som fr vrigt har infrt ett program fr alkoholproduktion, kade sin export under 1990-talet frn 1,5 miljoner ton/r till 11,0 miljoner ton under 1999/2000 p en vrldsmarknad omfattande totalt 38 miljoner ton. ven Thailand och Australien har kat sin export.

C 50/28 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 15.2.2001 The CMO for sugar is, like other CMOs, based on Community preference combined with an intervention scheme and export arrangements. 
C 50/28 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 15.2.2001 Den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden fr socker baseras, liksom gemensam organisation av andra marknader, p gemenskapspreferens i kombination med ett interventionssystem och en exportordning.
This leads to very stable prices and supply to consumers and the processing industry, who are sheltered from the excessive volatility of the world market. 
Detta leder till mycket stabila priser och stabilt utbud till konsumenten och bearbetningsindustrin samt innebr ett skydd frn stora fluktuationer p vrldsmarknaden.
The world sugar market is currently typified by a surplus caused by an increase in the production of cane sugar Ń in particular in Brazil because of the subsidies on its market for cane-based alcohol Ń while Community sugar production has remained stable. 
Vrldsmarknaden fr socker knnetecknas fr nrvarande av verskott p grund av den kade produktionen av rrsocker Đ framfr allt i Brasilien p grund av subventioner dr fr framstllning av alkohol av rrsocker Đ medan gemenskapens sockerproduktion har frblivit stabil.
World demand Ń although it has increased Ń cannot absorb that increase in production. 
Efterfrgan p vrldsmarknaden har Đ ven om den har kat Đ inte varit tillrckligt hg fr denna produktions-kning.
The result has been an increase in world stocks in recent years, and these currently represent some 50 % of world consumption. 
Som ett resultat av detta har vrldsmarknadslagren kat under de senaste ren och uppgr idag till omkring 50 % av vrldskonsumtionen.
It should be remembered that the carry-over stocks (approximately 1,0 million tonnes) are released only in the event of natural disasters. 
Det br hllas i minnet att vergngslagren (omkring 1,0 miljoner ton) endast r tillgngliga vid naturkatastrofer.
Moreover, the Commission has proposed that the Council discontinue the monthly storage refunds for carried-over C sugar, but the Council has regularly rejected this proposal. 
Kommissionen har freslagit rdet att upphra med mnatlig lagringserstt-ning fr socker C som verfrs, men rdet har vid flera tillfllen tillbakavisat detta frslag.
A distinction should also be made between the compulsory minimum stocks (approximately 0,4 million tonnes) and the stocks considered necessary by the trade (approximately 0,84 million tonnes). 
Det br dessutom gras tskillnad mellan de obligatoriska mini-milagren (omkring 0,4 miljoner ton) och de lager som bedms ndvndiga av handelsskl (omkring 0,84 miljoner ton).
In reality this cost remains stable because the system makes it possible to ensure normal supplies. 
Kostnaden fr konsumenten frblir i sjlva verket densamma, eftersom systemet innebr att det blir mjligt att skerstlla normal tillfrsel.
Concentration in the sugar industry has followed a similar path to that in other sectors with market organisations different to the sugar regime. 
Koncentrationens utveckling inom sockerbranschen pminner om utvecklingen i andra sektorer, som har andra typer av gemensam organisation av marknaden.
The Commission considers that including isoglucose and inulin syrup in the market organisation for sugar was justified because these markets are interdependent and because the move reflected a political will to maintain sugar production. 
Kommissionen anser att det var motiverat att inkludera isoglukos och inulinsirap i den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden fr socker, eftersom marknaderna r nra knutna till varandra och den tgrden franleddes av politiska nskeml att bevara sockerproduktionen.
The Community must control production of isoglucose, which is manufactured from raw materials most commonly imported without financial constraints from non-member countries, just as it controls sugar production, which is restricted by the system of quotas with Community producers assuming financial responsibility. 
Fr produktionen av isoglukos anvnds basprodukter som ofta importerats frn tredje land utan finansiella hinder och gemenskapen r frpliktigad att reglera denna produktion p samma stt som sockerproduktionen, vilken begrnsas genom kvotordningen, med finansiellt ansvar fr gemenskapens producenter.
This fundamental aspect has been recognised by the Court of Justice. 
Denna grundlggande aspekt har godtagits av revisionsrtten.
The Member States currently withhold 10 % of contributions. As of 1 January 2001, that percentage will increase to 25 %. 
Kommissionen ppekar att medlemsstaterna fr nrvarande hller inne 10 % av avgifterna och att man frn och med den 1 januari 2001 kommer att hlla inne 25 %.
Thus, the figure of EUR 290 million is only indicative, as the exact amount withheld will depend on the actual amount of contributions. 
Beloppet 290 miljoner euro utgr sledes endast ett riktvrde och det exakta belopp som hlls inne kommer att vara beroende av det faktiska avgiftsbeloppet.
It is correct that the Community budget and the consumer pay a price for the CAP. 
Det r korrekt att den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken innebr kostnader fr gemenskapsbudgeten och fr konsumenterna.
The sugar regime is part of this, although it must be remembered that the CommunityŐs production under quota is self-financing. 
Sockerordningen utgr en del av denna politik, ven om det br hllas i minnet att gemenskapsproduktionen med kvoter r sjlv-finansierad.
Any cost should be seen in the light of the objectives of the CAP stated in the Treaty and the UnionŐs international obligations. 
Alla kostnader br betraktas mot bakgrund av mlen fr den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken enligt frdraget och EU:s internationella taganden.
Account must also be taken of the residual character of the world market for sugar, where prices are generally lower than the production costs of most efficient producers. 
Det br dessutom beaktas att vrldsmarknaden fr socker snarast har karaktren av restmarknad, varvid priserna allmnt ligger under de mest effektiva producenternas produktionskostnader.
The mechanisms of the CMO for sugar, in particular the level of the production quotas and price support 89. 
Mekanismerna i den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden fr socker, framfr allt produktionskvoternas och prisstdets niver 89.
See the CommissionŐs reply to paragraph 73. 
Se kommissionens svar p punkt 73.
The Commission sees the fact that sugar is not offered for intervention as a sign that the CMO and storage arrangements are functioning and that exports are being soundly managed by the Management Committee and Commission departments. 
Det faktum att sockret inte bjuds ut fr interventionskp br enligt kommissionens uppfattning tolkas som att den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden och dess lagringsordning fungerar vl, liksom att exporten frvaltas vl av frvaltningskommittn och av kommissionens avdelningar.
The Commission is aware of the criticism that the market is partitioned and that competition in the sector is not very strong. 
Kommissionen r medveten om kritiken att marknaden r uppsplittrad och att sektorn knnetecknas av bristande konkurrens.
However, it considers that these phenomena are partly due to the nature of the product: homogeneity, stable demand and high transport costs. 
Man anser emellertid att detta delvis beror p produktens srdrag: den r homogen, efterfrgan r stabil och transportkostnaderna r hga.
Moreover, intra-Community trade accounts for more than 30 % of the consumption of unprocessed sugar and 26 % of the consumption of sugar in the form of processed products. 
Handeln inom gemenskapen svarar dessutom fr ver 30 % av konsumtionen av obearbetat socker och 26 % av konsumtionen av socker som ingr i bearbetade produkter.
In percentage terms, sugar accounts for between 0,2 % and 0,3 % of total consumer expenditure at Community level. 
Inom gemenskapen utgr sockret mellan 0,2 % och 0,3 % av de totala konsumtions-utgifterna.
A system based on reducing the price of sugar and providing direct support to growers from the budget would certainly impact on the budget, but it is not certain that a drop in ex-refinery sugar prices would be passed on to the final consumers of sugar and processed products. 
Ett system som baseras p en minskning av sockerpriserna och budgetfinansierat direktstd till producenterna skulle definitivt innebra budgetkostnader. Det r emellertid inte skert att en snkning av sockerpriset i produktionsledet skulle innebra att konsumentpriserna fr socker och bearbetade produkter snks.

The Court has based its argument on a level of export refunds valid during a period when world prices were at their lowest for 30 years. 
Revisionsrtten baserar sitt resonemang p de exportbidrag som gllde under en period d vrldsmarknadspriserna var de lgsta p 30 r.
Moreover, beet is irrigated only in some southern regions of the Community, and any alternative crops would also be irrigated in those regions. 
Sockerbetor konstbevatt-nas fr vrigt endast i vissa regioner i gemenskapens sdra delar, dr ven alternativa grdor skulle behva konstbevattning.
In this connection, the practice of putting in beet late in the year after the main crop depletes nitrogen in the soil. 
I detta sammanhang br ppekas att eftersom sockerbetor finns kvar i jorden under efter-ssongen innebr de att markens kvve uttms.
However, this danger is minimal because industrial-quality beet is not compatible with over-fertilising. 
Denna risk r dock begrnsad, eftersom sockerbetsodling av industriell kvalitet r ofrenlig med verskottsgdning.
As for weedkillers and pesticides (see paragraph 38), thanks to technical progress the quantities applied per hectare can be reduced while obtaining a higher yield. 
Nr det gller anvndningen av ogrsbekmpningsmedel och vxtskyddsmedel (se punkt 38) kan, tack vare tekniska framsteg, den anvnda mngden per hektar reduceras samtidigt som avkastningen kar.
CONCLUSIONS 99. (a) and (b) It is difficult to obtain precise information, particularly on the production costs of the sugar industry, owing to the requirements of confidentiality. 
SLUTSATS 99. a och b. Det r alltjmt svrt att f fram exakta uppgifter, srskilt betrffande produktionskostnader inom sockerindustrin, p grund av ndvndigheten av konfidentialitet.
However, the Commission has a broad range of information from the Member States, professional organisations, sugar manufacturers and their customers; although this information reveals conflicting interests. 
Kommissionen har emellertid tillgng till omfattande information frn medlemsstaterna, branschorganisationer, sockerproducerande fretag och fretag som anvnder socker. De olika intresseperspektiven terspeglas dock i denna information.
In the CommissionŐs view, the quantities of sugar imported under preferential arrangements need not be included when calculating the structural surplus, which concerns only Community output. 
Kommissionen anser att de kvantiteter socker som motsvarar frmnsimporten inte skall ing i berkningen av det strukturella verskottet, vilket endast avser gemenskapsproduktionen.
Imports from the ACP States (1,6 million tonnes) or an equivalent quantity can be exported without affecting the CommunityŐs international commitments under GATT. 
Importen frn AVS-staterna (1,6miljoner ton), eller motsvarande kvantitet, kan exporteras utan hnsyn till de internationella tagandena inom ramen fr GATT.
Under the Regulation governing the organisation of the market in sugar, the structural surplus, which is calculated on the basis of the production quotas, is approximately 10 % of consumption (1,3 million tonnes). 
Enligt de regler som gller fr den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden r det strukturella verskottet, faststllt p grundval av produktionskvoter, omkring 10 % av konsumtionen (1,3 miljoner ton).
(See also the reply to paragraphs 13 and 78(a)) The net cost to the budget (EUR 660 million) corresponds in practice to the cost of exporting a quantity of sugar equivalent to the imports from the ACP States and India (1,6 million tonnes) resulting from the CommunityŐs international obligations under the ACP/EU Protocol and the agreement with India. 
(Se ven svar p punkt 13 och punkt 78 a.) Budgetkostnaden netto (660 miljoner euro) motsvarar i praktiken kostnaden fr att exportera en kvantitet socker som motsvarar den import frn AVS-stater och frn Indien (1,6 miljoner ton) som fljer av gemenskapens internationella taganden enligt protokollet AVS/EU och avtalet med Indien.
Lastly, regarding the cost to consumers, 30 % of sugar is consumed unprocessed, while the remaining 70 % is consumed in the form of processed products. 
Betrffande kostnaden fr konsumenterna, avser 30 % av konsumtionen obearbetat socker och 70 % av konsumtionen sker i form av bearbetade produkter.
Still regarding the cost to consumers, the price of unprocessed sugar at the wholesale stage is approximately twice the intervention price, while the sugar consumed in processed products represents only 5 % to 10 % of the price paid by the consumer. 
Priset fr obearbetat socker r i detaljhandelsledet ungefr dubbelt s hgt som interventionspriset och det socker som konsumeras i form av bearbetade produkter utgr endast 5Đ10 % av konsumentpriset.
In terms of purchasing power, the Community sugar price is among the lowest in the world. 
I frhllande till kpkraften r sockerpriset i gemenskapen bland de lgsta i vrlden.
See also the CommissionŐs reply to paragraph 108. 
Se ven svaret p punkt 108.
The Commission wishes to stress that ever since 1968, and even more so since 1986, the sugar CMO has sought a number of the objectives pursued by the 1992 reform and Agenda 2000, namely controlling production and budget expenditure. 
Kommissionen betonar att den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden fr socker sedan 1968, och i nnu hgre grad sedan 1986, omfattas av flera av samma ml som 1992 rs reform och Agenda 2000, dvs. begrnsning av produktion och budgetutgifter.
In addition, competitiveness on world markets is ensured by the export regime for quota sugar and the disposal of non-quota sugar. 
Konkurrenskraften p vrldsmarknaden skerstlls fr vrigt genom exportordningen fr kvotsocker och avsttning av socker utver kvoterna.
With regard to greater accountability to the taxpayer, the net expenditure in the budget corresponds to the cost of the UnionŐs commitments to the ACP countries and India. 
Nr det gller kad insyn fr skattebetalarna br det bland annat ppekas att nettoutgifterna i budgeten motsvarar kostnaden fr EU:s taganden gentemot AVS-staterna och Indien.
The Commission wishes to stress that sugar beet does not require single-crop farming, and that beet growers are consequently also producers of wheat and beef. 
Kommissionen betonar att sockerbetsodling inte r ett ens-desbruk och att sockerbetsodlarna sledes ven producerar vete och ntktt.
In fact, the average area sown to beet per farmer is six to seven hectares. 
Den genomsnittliga areal som anvnds fr sockerbetsodling r 6Đ7 ha/odlare.
Moreover, in the agricultural areas where the sugar industry is established, almost all farmers have been allocated a quota. 
I de jordbruksomrden dr sockerindustrin r etablerad har praktiskt taget alla odlare tilldelats en kvot.
The drawbacks of the alternative solutions proposed by the Commission during the 1990s outweighed their advantages over the current arrangements. 
Bland de frslag kommissionen lagt fram under 1990-talet vervgde alternativens nackdelar i frhllande till den nuvarande ordningen.
