THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Whereas production within the Community of the products covered by this Regulation is at present inadequate and producers are thus unable to meet the needs of user industries in the Community;
Whereas a total suspension of the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on these products is in the Community's interest;
Whereas, in view of the difficulties involved in accurately assessing the development of the economic situation in the sectors concerned in the near future, this suspension measure should be taken only temporarily with its term of validity fixed to coincide with the interests of Community production;
Whereas the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain monolithic integrated circuits were suspended from 1 July to 31 December 1985 by Regulation (EEC) No 1736/85 (1);
Whereas it has proved appropriate to replace the description of such goods by one which is more specific,
From 1 October to 31 December 1985 the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on the following products shall be totally suspended:
1.2 // ex 29.04 A III a)  // 2-Methylpropan-2-ol (tert-butyl alcohol) with a purity of not less than 90 % but not more than 96 % by weight;  // ex 39.02 C I a)  // Polyethylene, in one of the forms mentioned in note 3 (b) to Chapter 39, having a density of not less than 0,945 and not more than 0,985, for the manufacture of typewriter ribbon or similar ribbon (1);  // ex 39.02 C I b)  // Transparent polyethylene film, which will split longitudinally when stretched at right angles to its length, having a density of not less than 0,925 and yielding not less than 7 g/m2 and not more than 19 g/m2, for the manufacture of typewriter ribbon or similar ribbon (a).

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2125/2002
of 29 November 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 41,242 EUR/100 kg net.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 December 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1) The import duties in the cereals sector are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2144/2001(5).
(2) In addition, Regulation (EC) No 2104/2001 abolishes the difference of EUR 10 in the case of importation overland or by river, or by sea on vessels from ports on the Mediterranean, Black Sea or Baltic Sea referred to in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96. As a result, Annex I relating to import duties in the cereals sector should be amended.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
