Operative part of the order

1.

Examination of Article 6(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 314/2002 of 20 February 2002 laying down detailed rules for the application of the quota system in the sugar sector, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 38/2004 of 9 January 2004, in so far as that provision does not, with regard to calculation of the production levy, provide for exclusion from the exportable surplus of the quantities of sugar contained in exported processed products for which no export refund has been granted has not shown that there are factors liable to affect its validity.

2.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1686/2005 of 14 October 2005 setting the production levies and the coefficient for the additional levy in the sugar sector for the 2004/05 marketing year is invalid.
