Commission Regulation (EC) No 1372/2003
of 31 July 2003
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 44,221 EUR/100 kg net.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 August 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(1) Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 lays down that, to qualify for area payments for cereals, protein crops and linseed under the support system for certain arable crops, producers must have sown the seed at the latest by 31 May preceding the relevant harvest.
(2) Because of particularly severe weather conditions this year, the final dates for sowing seeds fixed in several Member States cannot be complied with in all cases. Consequently, the final date for sowing arable crops for the 2001/02 marketing year should, where necessary, be deferred for certain specific regions. In order to do so, a derogation from Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 should be laid down as permitted by the eleventh indent of Article 9 of that Regulation.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to area payments for the 2001/02 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
