COMMISSION REGULATION  (EC) No 1569/95 of 30 June 1995 fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties  for molasses in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of  the market in sugar  (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1101/95  (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules  of application for improts of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68   (3), and in particular Articles 1 (2) and 3 (1) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter  referred to as the 'representative price`, should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation  (EEC) No 785/68  (4); whereas that price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in  Article 1 of the above Regulation;
Whereas the representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the  Community, in this case Amsterdam; whereas that price must be based on the most favourable  purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices  on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality; whereas the standard quality  for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68;
Whereas, when the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being  established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on  the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international  trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States; whereas,  under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average  of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market  trends;
Whereas the information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair  marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not  representative of the market; whereas offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of  actual market trends must also be disregarded;
Whereas, if information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must,  depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the  results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68;
Whereas a representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if  the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is  not available to the commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to  be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes  in the representative price;
Whereas where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the  representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in  Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95; whereas should the import duties be suspended pursuant to  Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed;
Whereas application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices  and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this  Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to  improts of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the  Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1995.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all  Member States.
