COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 148/2008

of 20 February 2008

amending Regulations (EC) No 900/2007 and 1060/2007 in order to clarify the status of the destinations excluded from the refunds on export of sugar

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Articles 40(1)(g) and 40(2)(d) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 900/2007 of 27 July 2007 on a standing invitation to tender to determine refunds on exports of white sugar until the end of the 2007/2008 marketing year (2) and Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1060/2007 of 14 September 2007 opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale for export of sugar held by the intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Slovakia and Sweden (3) open respective standing invitations to tender for all destinations excluding Andorra, Gibraltar, Ceuta, Melilla, the Holy See (Vatican City State), Liechtenstein, Communes of Livigno and Campione d'Italia, Heligoland, Greenland, Faeroe Islands, the areas of Cyprus in which the Government of the Republic of Cyprus does not exercise effective control, Albania, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia (4), Montenegro and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

(2)

To avoid misinterpretation of the status of the excluded destinations, it is appropriate to distinguish between third countries, territories of EU Member States not forming part of the customs territory of the Community and European territories for whose external relations a Member State is responsible not forming part of the customs territory of the Community.

(3)

Regulations (EC) No 900/2007 and 1060/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(4)
