THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 133/94 (2), and in particular Article 9 (6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86 of 15 July 1986 laying down measures for the marketing of sugar produced in the French overseas departments and for the equalization of the price conditions with preferential raw sugar (3), and in  particular the second subparagraph of Article 3 (2) thereof,
Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86 states the aid is to be granted for raw sugar produced in the French overseas departments and refined in the European regions of the Community within the limits of quantities to be determined individually  for each combination of region of destination and provenance; whereas these quantities are to be determined on the basis of a Community supply balance for raw sugar;
Whereas total production in the French department of Réunion in the 1994/95 marketing year will not be finally known until towards the end of January 1995; whereas as a first step, however, distribution should be made of this quantity sufficient to  permit supply of the refineries concerned during the period 1 July 1994 to 28 February 1995;
Whereas Commission Regulations (EEC) No 1786/93 (4) and (EC) No 455/94 (5) determined the quantities of raw sugar produced in the French overseas departments for the 1993/1994 marketing year on which the refining aid specified in Regulation (EEC) No  2225/86 could be granted; whereas not all these quantities could be refined in good time but as a working stock they will be eligible for the refining aid for 1994/95; whereas it should be specified that the refining aid is to be granted on these  quantities against those set in the Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 1786/93 and in the Annex of Regulation (EC) No 455/94 for the 1993/94 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The quantities of sugar mentioned in Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86 are set for the period 1 July 1994 to 28 February 1995 at the amounts shown in Annex to this Regulation.
For raw sugar out of the quantities indicated in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 1786/93 and in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 455/94 that is refined from 1 July 1994 onwards, the refining aid valid for the 1994/95 marketing year under
of Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86 shall be applicable. The refined quantities in question shall be charged against the amounts stipulated in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 1786/93 and in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 455/94 for the 1993/94  marketing year.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following 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.
