(2) Given the present situation on the sugar market, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 32 and 33 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3) The first subparagraph of Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.

Therefore, refunds for exports to those destinations should be abolished.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
1.   Export refunds as provided for in Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the conditions provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.

Having regard to Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (1), and in particular Articles 41(3) and 61(3) thereof,
Whereas:

(2) As it was unclear whether that virus really caused increased mortality in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas), those measures were adopted on a temporary basis until 31 December 2010.
(3) Increased mortality in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) in connection with the detection of OsHV-1 μvar has continued to occur in 2010.
