Whereas pursuant to Article 25(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92, under certain conditions, specific aid of ECU 12,08 per 100 kg of sugar has been paid since the 1992/93 marketing year for the processing of sugar beet harvested in the Azores into white sugar; whereas the second subparagraph of Article 25(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 lays down that the amount of that aid may be adjusted;

Whereas the Management Committee for Sugar has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The aid referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 25(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 shall be ECU 27 per 100 kilograms of white sugar from the 1998/99 marketing year.
