COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 38/2007
of 17 January 2007
opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale for export of sugar held by the intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden
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 market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Articles 40(1)(g) and 40(2)(d) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Article 39(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 952/2006 of 29 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards the management of the Community market in sugar and the quota system (2) provides that the intervention agencies may sell sugar only after a decision to that effect has been adopted by the Commission. |
(2) |
Belgium, the Czech Republic, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden have intervention stocks of sugar. In order to respond to market needs, it is appropriate to open a standing invitation to tender to make these stocks available for export. |
(3) |
In order to prevent any abuse associated with the re-import or re-introduction into the Community of sugar sector products that have qualified for export refunds, no export refund should be fixed for the countries of the western Balkans. |
(4) |
To take account of the situation on the Community market, provision should be made for the Commission to fix a maximum export refund for each partial invitation to tender. |
(5) |
The intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden should communicate the tenders to the Commission. The tenderers should remain anonymous. |
(6) |
Pursuant to Article 42(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 952/2006, the price to be paid by the successful tenderer should be determined by the invitation to tender. |
(7) |
Pursuant to Article 42(2)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 952/2006, it is appropriate to determine the period of validity of the export licences. |
(8) |
In order to ensure proper management of sugar in storage, provision should be made for a communication from the Member States to the Commission on the quantities actually sold and exported. |
(9) |
The second paragraph of Article 59 of Regulation (EC) No 952/2006 provides that Commission Regulation (EC) No 1262/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards the buying-in and sale of sugar by intervention agencies (3) continues to apply to sugar accepted into intervention before 10 February 2006. However, for the resale of intervention sugar, this distinction is unnecessary and its implementation would create administrative difficulties for the Member States. It is therefore appropriate to exclude the application of Regulation (EC) No 1262/2001 to the resale of intervention sugar pursuant to this Regulation. |
(10) |
The quantities available for a Member State that can be awarded when the Commission fixes the maximum export refund should take into account the quantities awarded pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1039/2006 of 7 July 2006 opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale on the Community market of sugar held by the intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia and Sweden (4). |
(11) |
The Management Committee for Sugar has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

2. The available quantity for a lot shall be reduced by the quantities awarded the same day for that lot by Regulation (EC) No 1039/2006.
Where an award at a maximum export refund set pursuant to paragraph 1 would result in that reduced available quantity for a lot being exceeded, that award shall be limited to that reduced available quantity.
Where awards for a Member State to all tenderers offering the same export refund for one lot would result in that reduced available quantity for that lot being exceeded, that reduced available quantity shall be awarded as follows:
(a) |
by division among the tenderers concerned in proportion of the total quantities in each of their tenders; or |
(b) |
by apportionment among the tenderers concerned by reference to a maximum tonnage fixed for each of them; or |
(c) |
by drawing of lots. |
3. The price to be paid by the successful tenderer in accordance with article 42(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 952/2006 shall be EUR 632 per tonne for white sugar and EUR 497 per tonne for raw sugar.
