Commission Regulation (EC) No 1946/2002
of 31 October 2002
fixing the production refund on white sugar used in the chemical industry
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, production refunds may be granted on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (f) of that Regulation, on syrups listed in Article 1(1)(d) thereof and on chemically pure fructose covered by CN code 1702 50 00 as an intermediate product, that are in one of the situations referred to in Article 23(2) of the Treaty and are used in the manufacture of certain products of the chemical industry.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(3) lays down the rules for determining the production refunds and specifies the chemical products the basic products used in the manufacture of which attract a production refund. Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provide that the production refund applying to raw sugar, sucrose syrups and unprocessed isoglucose is to be derived from the refund fixed for white sugar in accordance with a method of calculation specific to each basic product.
(3) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provides that the production refund on white sugar is to be fixed at monthly intervals commencing on the first day of each month. It may be adjusted in the intervening period where there is a significant change in the prices for sugar on the Community and/or world markets. The application of those provisions results in the production refund fixed in Article 1 of this Regulation for the period shown.
(4) As a result of the amendment to the definition of white sugar and raw sugar in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, flavoured or coloured sugars or sugars containing any other added substances are no longer deemed to meet those definitions and should thus be regarded as "other sugar". However, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001, they attract the production refund as basic products. A method should accordingly be laid down for calculating the production refund on these products by reference to their sucrose content.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The production refund on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 shall be equal to 41,790 EUR/100 kg net.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

Whereas:
(1) Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 introduced production quotas for the different groups of varieties of tobacco.

Under Article 9(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 the Commission may authorise Member States to transfer parts of their guarantee threshold allocations between groups of varieties. These transfers do not give rise to additional costs between groups of varieties for the EAGGF and do not involve any increase in Member States' overall guarantee threshold allocations.
(2) This Regulation should apply as soon as possible, well before the deadline for the conclusion of cultivation contracts laid down in Article 10(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2848/98 of 22 December 1998 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 as regards the premium scheme, production quotas and the specific aid to be granted to producer groups in the raw tobacco sector(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 385/2001(5).

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas, because of the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in Spain, exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat in that Member State were adopted in Commission Regulation (EC) No 913/97 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1499/97 (4);
Whereas, because of the continuing veterinary and trade restrictions adopted by the Spanish authorities, cull sows should be included in the aid scheme pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 913/97 and the number of fattening pigs which may be delivered to the competent authorities increased, thereby permitting continuation of the exceptional measures in the weeks to come;
Whereas the list of eligible areas in Annex II to that Regulation should be amended to reflect the current veterinary situation;
Whereas the rapid and effective application of exceptional market support measures is one of the best means of combating the spread of classical swine fever; whereas this Regulation should therefore apply from 18 September 1997;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
Regulation (EC) No 913/97 is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 1:
(a) the following paragraph 3 is inserted:
'3. From 18 September 1997, producers may, on application, receive aid from the competent Spanish authorities when they deliver to them cull sows falling within CN code 0103 92 11 with an average weight, over each batch, of not less than 160 kg.`;
(b) the existing paragraph 3 becomes paragraph 4;
2. the following paragraph 5 is added to Article 4:
'5. The aid referred to in Article 1 (3) shall be, at the farm gate, equal to the aid fixed in accordance with paragraph 1, less 30 %.
Aid shall be calculated on the basis of the recorded deadweight. However, if the animals are only weighed alive, a coefficient 0,78 shall be applied to the aid.`;
3. the following is added to Article 6:
'the number and total weight of the cull sows delivered.`;
4. Annex I is replaced by Annex I hereto;
5. Annex II is replaced by Annex II hereto.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2042/75 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3817/85 (4), provides, for the purposes of the application of the system of import and export licences, for a tolerance as regards the quantities concerned;
Whereas applications for export licences for common wheat were submitted during the period from 2 to 8 August 1985 pursuant to the procedure provided for in Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 2042/75; whereas the said applications have been accepted and whereas the licences issued are eligible for advance fixing of the refund until 31 July 1986 in the case of exports to certain African countries;
Whereas when those licences were issued there were no plans to have the marketing year for cereals begin on 1 July instead of 1 August and whereas such a change means a 25 ECU reduction in advance fixed refunds for exports taking place in July 1986 in respect of those licences;
Whereas provisions appropriate to those circumstances should be adopted, so that traders will not be penalized if they do not supply the goods concerned in July 1986;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
In the case of export licences with advance fixing of the refund which were applied for during the period from 2 to 8 August 1985 for the export of common wheat to countries in Zone V (a), as defined in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 1124/77 (5), and which were issued in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 2042/75, the obligation to export shall, notwithstanding Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2042/75, be regarded as having been fulfilled where the quantity exported falls by not more than 12 % below the quantity shown on the licence.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
