of 26 August 2009
amending Regulation (EC) No 575/2009 fixing an acceptance percentage for the issuing of export licences, rejecting export-licence applications and suspending the lodging of export-licence applications for out-of-quota sugar
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 of 30 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector (2), and in particular Article 7e in conjunction with Article 9(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) | According to Article 61, first subparagraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 the sugar produced during a marketing year in excess of the quota referred to in Article 56 of that Regulation may be exported only within the quantitative limit to be fixed. |
(2) | Commission Regulation (EC) No 924/2008 of 19 September 2008 fixing the quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose until the end of the 2008/2009 marketing year (3) has fixed the quantitative limit at 650 000 tonnes. |
(3) | The quantities of sugar covered by applications for export licences exceeded that quantitative limit. Therefore Commission Regulation (EC) No 575/2009 (4) suspended the lodging of applications for out-of-quota sugar export licences for the period 6 July 2009 to 30 September 2009. |
(4) | By amendment of Regulation (EC) No 924/2008, introduced by Commission Regulation (EC) No 776/2009 (5), the quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota sugar in respect of marketing year 2008/2009 was increased by 300 000 tonnes. |
(5) | As the quantitative limit in respect of marketing year 2008/2009 is increased the lodging of applications should once again be possible. |
(6) | Regulation (EC) No 575/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(7) | The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management |
