Whereas, since the adoption of this common measure, the arrangements have been extended to other regions and sectors with similar needs; whereas it was extended, by Regulation (EEC) No 3875/88 (5), to the whole of Ireland and to certain products in  France; whereas producers in those regions should continue to have the opportunity to benefit from Community aid;
Whereas, under the reform of the structural funds, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 223/90 (6) introduced, for producer groups in regions eligible under Objective 1 as defined in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 (7), more attractive rates,  in order to improve in the future, the efficiency of Regulation (EEC) No 1360/78;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1760/87 (8) introduced a number of provisions concerning the obligation on members to market the whole of their production and whereas the monitoring powers conferred on producer groups as regards harvesting and the  availability of products should the strengthened;
Whereas this is a common measure within the meaning of Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4256/88 (9) and consequently its duration need not be limited;
Whereas, to assess the implementation of this Regulation, particularly in view of its recent extension to certain parts of the Community, a report should be submitted to the Council by 1 January 1997,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1151/2006
of 27 July 2006
fixing the rates of refunds applicable to certain products from the sugar sector exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 33(2)(a) and (4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 32(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(b), (c), (d) and (g) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to that Regulation.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) Article 32(4) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 lays down that the export refund for a product contained in goods may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(5) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(6) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1(1) and in point (1) of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 28 July 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
