Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 28(3) of Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (2), hereinafter called ‘the sixth Directive’, the Member States may continue to exempt or tax certain transactions; these transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT resources base.
(2) For the application of the provisions in Article 28(3) of the sixth Directive, paragraph 1 of Section 7 (Taxation) of Annex VIII to the Act of Accession of the Republic of Latvia to the European Communities (3), authorises the Republic of Latvia to exempt certain transactions listed in Annex F to the sixth Directive.
(3) The Republic of Latvia is unable to make a precise calculation of the VAT own resources base for certain categories of transactions listed in Annex F, point 2 and 17, to the sixth Directive; such calculation is likely to involve an unjustified administrative burden in relation to the effect of these transactions on the Republic of Latvia’s total VAT resources base; the Republic of Latvia is able to make a calculation using approximate estimates for these categories of transactions listed in Annex F to the sixth Directive; the Republic of Latvia should therefore be authorized to calculate the VAT base using approximate estimates in accordance with the second indent of Article 6(3) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89.
(4) The Advisory Committee on Own Resources has approved the report recording the opinions of its members on this Decision,
For the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base from 1 May 2004, the Republic of Latvia is authorized, in accordance with the second indent of Article 6(3) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89, to use approximate estimates in respect of the following categories of transactions referred to in Annex F to the sixth Directive:
1. Services supplied by authors, artists and performers (Annex F, point 2);
2. Passenger transport (Annex F, point 17).
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Latvia.

fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
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), amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(3). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for sugar according to destination.
(5) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(6) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in sugar and in particular to quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the export occurs after 30 September 2001.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 6 September 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
