COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2089/89

of 12 July 1989

determining, for the period 1 July 1989 to 31 January 1990, the quantities of raw sugar produced in the French overseas departments benefiting from the refining aid referred to in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector(1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1069/89 (2), and in particular Article 9 (6) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86 of 15 July 1986 laying down measures for the marketing of sugar produced in the French overseas departments and for the equalization of the price conditions with preferential raw sugar (3), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 3 (2) thereof,

Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86 provides for the granting of an aid for the raw sugar produced in the French overseas departments and refined in a refinery situated in the European regions of the Community within the limits of the quantities to be determined according to the regions of destination in question and separately according to origin; whereas those quantities must be determined on the basis of a Community supply balance sheet for raw sugar; whereas the final production of the French overseas department of Réunion for the 1989/90 marketing year will not be definitively established until the end of January 1990; whereas in these circumstances provision should be made as a first step for an apportionment of the quantity which is sufficient to enable the refineries in question to be supplied during the period 1 July 1989 to 31 January 1990;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2136/88 (4) determined the quantities of raw sugar produced in the French overseas departments for the 1988/89 marketing year, benefitting from the refining aid referred to in Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86; whereas it was not possible for all of those quantities to be refined in due time but, in being considered as working stock, those quantities are eligible to the refining aid for the 1989/90 marketing year; whereas it is as a consequence appropriate to provide that the refining aid should be applied to those quantities by attributing them to the quantities fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 2136/88 for the 1988/89 marketing year;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Those quantities shall be attributed to the quantities laid down in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2136/88 for the 1988/89 marketing year.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
