Whereas, by Decision 78/476/EEC (4), as last amended by Decision 83/495/EEC (5), the Council noted that the official checks on practices for the maintenance of varieties carried out in certain third countries afford the same guarantees as those carried out by the Member States;

Council Decision
of 25 March 2002
authorising the Netherlands to apply a differentiated rate of excise duty to low-sulphur petrol in accordance with Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC
(2002/263/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/81/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the harmonisation of the structures of excise duties on mineral oils(1), and in particular Article 8(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Netherlands has requested authorisation to apply a differentiated rate of excise duty to low-sulphur (50 ppm) petrol from 1 October 2002.
(2) The other Member States have been informed of this request by the Netherlands authorities.
(3) The differentiation of excise duty proposed by the Netherlands authorities, worth EUR 0,0136 per litre, must be available to all users of low-sulphur petrol. This measure complies with the minimum rates of excise duty referred to in Articles 3 and 4 of Council Directive 92/82/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the harmonisation of the structures of excise duties on mineral oils(2).
(4) The derogation is sought on environmental grounds in particular the benefits in terms of air quality are known.
(5) Low-sulphur petrol complies with the environmental criterion (50 ppm) laid down in Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1998 relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels and amending Council Directive 93/12/EEC(3). Under Article 3 of that Directive, the use of 50 ppm diesel will normally be compulsory from 1 January 2005. The derogation should therefore expire on 31 December 2004, subject to the application of Article 8(5) of Directive 92/81/EEC.
(6) On the information available at present, neither the Commission nor the Member States consider that the application of a differentiated rate of excise duty on low-sulphur fuel will cause distortions of competition affecting the common interest or hinder the operation of the single market.
(7) The Commission periodically reviews reductions and exemptions to check that they do not distort competition or the operation of the internal market and are not incompatible with Community environmental policy,
The Netherlands is hereby authorised to apply a differentiated rate of excise duty to low-sulphur (50 ppm) petrol from 1 October 2002 to 31 December 2004.
The reduction in excise duty referred to in Article 1 not exceeding EUR 0,0136 per litre of fuel, must comply with the terms of Directive 92/82/EEC, and in particular the minimum rates laid down in Articles 3 and 4 thereof.
This authorisation shall expire on 31 December 2004.
This Decision is addressed to the Netherlands.

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 18 October 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
