of 3 August 2001
amending Regulation (EC) No 1121/2001 fixing the adjustment coefficients to be applied to each traditional operator's reference quantity under the tariff quotas for imports of bananas
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organisation of the market in bananas(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 216/2001(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 of 7 May 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community(3), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001, in the light of the quantities available under tariff quotas A/B and C of the information received from the Member States on the sum of the reference quantities established for traditional operators A/B and C respectively in accordance with Article 4(1) and (2) of that Regulation, the Commission is to fix, where appropriate, a single adjustment coefficient to be applied to each operator's refrerence quantity.
(2) Using the information sent by the Member States under Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 on the total volume of the reference quantities for traditional operators A/B and traditional operators C, the Commission fixed in Regulation (EC) No 1121/2001(4) an adjustment coefficient to be applied to each operator's reference quantity in each of the two categories of traditional operator.
(3) As a result of further information received from several Member States, the sum of the reference quantities for traditional operators C has been found to amount to 717416 tonnes. This requires an amendment to the adjustment coefficient to be applied to the reference quantities for each traditional operator C. Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1121/2001 must therefore be amended.
(4) It should be recalled that, for the second half of 2001, the reference quantity for each traditional operator is subject to Article 28(2) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,
The adjustment coefficient in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1121/2001 to be applied to each traditional operator C is hereby replaced by the adjustment coefficient 0,98339.
The competent authorities of the Member States shall notify the operators concerned of the reference quantity as adjusted pursuant to Article 1 no later than 17 August 2001.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 4 August 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

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.

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 43,237 EUR/100 kg net.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 September 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
