Commission Regulation (EC) No 857/2002
of 23 May 2002
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 24 May 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

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 375 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (2), Greece may continue to exempt the transactions listed in points 2, 8, 11 and 12 of Annex X, Part B; these transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT resources base.
(2) In the case of Greece, the Commission, on the basis of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89, adopted Decision 90/185/Euratom, EEC (3) authorising Greece, with effect from 1 January 1989, to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base.
(3) Since 1 July 2010, Greece has taxed the transactions referred to in point 2 of Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC; the authorisation granted in this connection should be discontinued with effect from that date.
(4) Since 22 August 2011, Greece has taxed the transactions referred to in point 8 of Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC; the authorisation granted in this connection should be discontinued with effect from that date.
(5) The Commission invited Greece to verify whether those authorisations granted to Greece with no explicit limitation in time, were still needed and to confirm this to the Commission; Greece confirmed that two authorisations to use approximate estimates for the transactions mentioned in points 2 and 8 of Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC would not apply any longer.
(6) In the case of Greece, Greece acknowledged that with regard to Annex X, part B, points 11 and 12 the need for using approximate estimates would no longer be justified as data were provided by the Ministry of Defence in a greater level of detail.
(7) For the sake of clarity and transparency of Community rules, provisions that have become obsolete or have ceased to have effect should be repealed.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources,
