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

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 23(4) and 40(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 establishes provisions applicable to import and export licences, the granting of export refunds and the management of imports in the sugar sector. With a view to improving the transparency of the rules applicable to trade with third countries in the sugar sector, the detailed rules for the application of those provisions should be brought together in one single regulation.

(2)

Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides for the possibility to grant refunds on exports to third countries in order to cover the difference between the prices on the world market and prices within the Community.

(3)

In order to ensure equal treatment as regards the determination of the amount of the export refund, a standard method for determining the sucrose content of certain products should be laid down. It is also necessary to establish specific criteria to cover cases where the standard method does not allow the total sucrose content to be determined. In the case of syrups with a relatively low degree of purity, the sucrose content should be fixed at a flat rate on the basis of the extractable sugar content.

(4)

Candy sugar, which is manufactured from white sugar or refined raw sugar, very often has a degree of polarisation of less than 99,5 %. In view of the high degree of purity of the raw material used, the refund on candy sugar should be as close as possible to the refund on white sugar. Therefore a precise definition of candy sugar should be laid down.

(5)

In case it is decided to grant export refund on isoglucose, limits should be laid down as regards the fructose and polysaccharide content in order to ensure that the refund is granted only on the true product as such.

(6)

Article 23(1) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 lays down that imports into the Community or exports therefrom, of any of the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation, except those under point (h) of that Article, shall be subject to presentation of an import or export licence. Detailed rules should be established for the purpose of determining in particular the information to be indicated in licence applications and in licences, the conditions applicable to the issuing of licences, including the securities to be lodged, as well as the terms of validity of the issued licence.

(7)

In accordance with Article 34 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, observance of the export volume commitments resulting from the agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty should be ensured on the basis of the system of export licences. To this end, the licences applied for should be issued following a reflection period enabling the Commission to assess the quantities applied and to take measures in cases where acceptance of the applications in question would result in an overshoot or risk of overshoot of the volume and/or appropriations set in those agreements for the marketing year in question. For this purpose, Member States should be required to notify without delay all applications for licences involving periodic refunds. Applicants for export refunds should be allowed to withdraw their application on certain terms if an acceptance percentage has been set.

(8)

The accurate and regular monitoring of trade with third countries is the only way to monitor developments closely in the light of the constraints arising from the Community's commitments under the agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty and to take, as appropriate, the measures required, in particular for the application of Article 19 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006. Therefore the Commission should receive on a regular basis the relevant information not only on imports and exports of products for which refunds have been fixed, in accordance with Article 32 and 33 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 but also on imports and exports of products exported without refund, with or without a licence in free circulation on the Community market as well as those covered by inward processing arrangements.

(9)

In order to ensure stability of the Community sugar markets and to avoid that market prices fall below the reference prices for sugar it is considered necessary to provide for the application of additional import duties.

(10)

Article 27(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 lays down that imports made at a price below the trigger price communicated to the World Trade Organisation may be subject to an additional import duty.

(11)

For the application of the additional import duty the cif import price of the consignment in question has to be taken into consideration. The cif import price has to be checked against the representative prices for the product concerned on the world market or on the Community import market for that product. To that objective it is necessary to establish the criteria for determining the representative cif import prices for the products to which an additional import duty may be applied. For the determination of the representative cif import prices the Commission should take account of all the information available to it either directly or through the communication of such relevant information by the Member States.

(12)

Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002 of 10 December 2002 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1706/98 (2) opens an annual tariff quota of 600 000 tonnes of molasses originating in the ACP, under which import customs duties are reduced by 100 %. In that perspective, and taking into account that imports of molasses within this quantitative limit are unlikely to lead to disturbances of the Community market, it is considered inappropriate to impose additional duties on such imports, as this would be contrary to the very purpose of facilitating imports of agricultural products from the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) into the Community. The total import duty applicable to cane molasses originating in those states should therefore be reduced to zero.

(13)

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (3) codified the management rules for tariff quotas designed to be used following the chronological order of dates of acceptance of customs declarations.

(14)

The detailed rules laid down in this Regulation replace those laid down in Commission Regulations (EEC) No 784/68 of 26 June 1968 laying down detailed rules for calculating cif prices for white sugar and raw sugar (4), (EEC) No 785/68 of 26 June 1968 determining the standard quality and laying down detailed rules for calculating the cif price for molasses (5), (EC) No 1422/95 (6), (EC) No 1423/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed implementing rules for the import of products in the sugar sector other than molasses (7), (EC) No 1464/95 of 27 June 1995 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the sugar sector (8) and (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (9). Those regulations should thus be repealed for the sake of transparency and legal clarity.

(15)

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

CHAPTER I

SCOPE AND DEFINITIONS

Scope

This Regulation lays down, in accordance with Title III of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, the special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences, the granting of export refunds and the management of imports, including application of additional import duties in the sugar sector.

Article 2

Definitions

For the purposes of this Regulation:

1.

‘periodic refund’ means the export refund fixed at regular intervals as referred to in Article 33(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006;

2.

‘candy sugar’ means sugar which:

(a)

comprises large crystals at least 5 mm in length, obtained by cooling and slow crystallisation of a sufficiently concentrated sugar solution, and

(b)

contains 96 % or more sucrose by weight in the dry state, determined in accordance with the polarimetric method.

CHAPTER II

EXPORT REFUNDS

Determination of the sucrose content of various sugar syrups eligible for export refund

1. The export refund per 100 kilograms of products listed in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 shall be equal to a basic amount multiplied by the sucrose content of the product in question as determined plus, where applicable, the content of other sugars calculated in sucrose equivalent.

2. Without prejudice to paragraphs 3 and 4, the sucrose content plus, where applicable, the content of other sugars expressed as sucrose shall be the total sugar content resulting from the application of the Lane and Eynon method (copper reduction method) to the inverted solution in accordance with Clerger-Herzfeld. The total sugar content determined in accordance with that method shall be converted into sucrose by multiplying it by a coefficient of 0,95.

3. In the case of syrups of a purity of not less than 85 % but less than 94,5 %, the sucrose content plus, where applicable, the content of other sugars expressed as sucrose shall be fixed at a flat rate of 73 % by weight in the dry state. The percentage purity of syrups shall be calculated by dividing the total sugar content by the dry matter content and multiplying the result by 100. The total sugar content shall be determined in accordance with the method referred to in paragraph 2 and the dry matter content in accordance with the areometric method.

4. In the case of caramel obtained exclusively from non-denatured sugar covered by CN code 1701, the sucrose content plus, where applicable, the content of other sugars expressed as sucrose shall be determined on the basis of the dry matter content. The dry matter content shall be determined on the basis of the density of the diluted solution in a weighted ratio of one to one. The result of the determination of the dry matter content shall be expressed as sucrose by multiplying it by a coefficient of one.

However, on request, to take account of caramel as referred to in the first subparagraph, the actual amount used of sucrose plus, where applicable, the content of other sugars expressed as sucrose may be determined where the candy has been manufactured under a customs warehousing or free zone procedure providing equivalent guarantees.

5. The basic amount referred to in paragraph 1 shall not apply to syrups with a purity of less than 85 %.

Export refund for isoglucose

Export refunds may only be granted on the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) and (g) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 where the products:

(a)

are obtained by isomerisation of glucose;

(b)

have a fructose content by weight in the dry state of not less than 41 %;

(c)

have a total content by weight in the dry state of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides, including di- and trisaccharides, of not more than 8,5 %.

The dry matter content of isoglucose shall be determined on the basis of the density of the diluted solution in a proportion by weight of one to one or, in the case of products with a very high consistency, by drying.

CHAPTER III

EXPORT LICENCES

Licence requirement

1. All exportation of products listed in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 except those under point (h) of that Article shall require the issuing of an export licence.

Export licence with refund

1. Where the refund is fixed pursuant to an invitation to tender held within the Community, the application for an export licence shall be lodged with the competent authority of the Member State in which the statement of award under the tender was issued.

2. Section 20 of the licence application and of the licence shall contain the following indication:

‘Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 (OJ L 178 of 1.7.2006, p. 24), time limit for submission of tenders: …’

3. The export licence shall be issued for the quantity entered on the relevant statement of award of tender. Section 22 of the licence shall indicate the rate of the export refund, as stated in that statement, expressed in EUR. It shall contain the following indication:

‘Rate of applicable refund: …’.

4. Article 49 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (11) shall not apply.

Export licence for sugar, isoglucose or inulin syrup without refund

Where sugar, isoglucose or inulin syrup in free circulation in the Community market and not considered as ‘out-of-quota’ is to be exported without refund, section 22 of the licence application and of the licence shall contain the following indication, according to the product in question as the case may be:

‘(Sugar) or (Isoglucose) or (Inulin syrup) not considered as “out-of-quota” for export without refund.’

Validity of export licences

1. Export licences for the products listed in Article 1(1)(b) and (c) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 relating to quantities exceeding 10 tonnes shall be valid from the actual day of issue until the end of the third month following that of issue.

2. Export licences for quantities of the products listed in Article 1(1)(b) and (c) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 not exceeding 10 tonnes shall be valid from the day of issue within the meaning of Article 23(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 until the end of the third month following that of issue.

In the case referred to in the first subparagraph the party concerned may not use more than one such licence for the same export.

3. Export licences for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 shall be valid from the day of issue within the meaning of Article 23(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 until the end of the third month following that of issue.

Suspension of issuing export licences

1. Where the issue of export licences risks exceeding the available budgetary amounts, or the maximum quantities and/or the expenditure commitments set in the WTO Agreement on Agriculture (12) for the period concerned, the Commission may:

(a)

set an acceptance percentage for the quantities applied for but for which licences have not yet been issued;

(b)

reject applications for which export licences have not yet been issued;

(c)

suspend lodging of licence applications for five working days; it may set the suspension for a longer period in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 39(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.

2. The measures provided for in paragraph 1 may also be adopted when export licence applications relate to quantities which exceed or risk to exceed the normal trade pattern for one destination or group of destinations and issuing the licences requested would entail a risk of speculation, distortion of competition between operators, or disturbances of the trade concerned or the Community market.

3. Should the quantities applied for be reduced or refused the security against the licence shall be immediately released for the quantities not granted.

4. Applicants may withdraw their licence applications within 10 working days of publication in the Official Journal of the European Union of an acceptance percentage as indicated in point (a) of paragraph 1 if it is less than 80 %. Member States shall thereupon release the security.

CHAPTER IV

General rules

1. By way of derogation from Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, where, on the basis of authorisation under Article 116 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (14), the exportation of white sugar falling within CN code 1701 99 10 is followed by the importation of raw sugar falling within CN codes 1701 11 10, 1701 11 90, 1701 12 10 and 1701 12 90, licences shall be required to export the white sugar and to import the raw sugar.

2. By way of derogation from Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, the rights deriving from the export and import licences referred to in paragraph 1 shall not be transferable.

Article 14

Applications for licences

1. The application for an export licence for white sugar shall not be accepted unless the authorisation referred to in Article 13(1) is produced and at the same time an application for an import licence for raw sugar is lodged.

2. The application for an import licence shall relate to a quantity of raw sugar of the standard quality which, having regard to its yield, corresponds to the quantity of white sugar shown on the application for an export licence. The yield of the raw sugar shall be calculated by deducting 100 from the amount obtained by multiplying by two the degree of polarisation of the sugar.

Where the imported raw sugar does not correspond to the standard quality, the quantity of raw sugar to be imported under the licence shall be calculated by multiplying the quantity of raw sugar of the standard quality referred to in the licence by an corrective factor. The corrective factor shall be obtained by dividing 92 by the percentage yield of the raw sugar actually imported.

3. Section 20 of the application for an export licence and of the export licence for white sugar, and of the application for an import licence and of the import licence for raw sugar, shall contain the following indication:

‘EX/IM, Article 116 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 — licence valid in. .. (issuing Member State).’

Section 20 of the export licence shall also contain the number of the corresponding import licence, and in the relevant section of the import licence the number of the corresponding export licence.

4. A cancellation under Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall apply simultaneously to both the import licence and the export licence as referred to in paragraph 1.

Article 15

Validity of the licences

1. By way of derogation from Articles 9 and 11 the export licence for white sugar and the import licence for raw sugar shall be valid:

(a)

until 30 June where the application has been lodged, within the meaning of Article 17(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, on or after 1 October of the marketing year in question,

(b)

until 30 September where the application has been lodged, within the meaning of Article 17(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, on or after 1 July of the marketing year in question.

2. In application of Article 561 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, the time limit within which the import of raw sugar corresponding to a previous export of white sugar must be carried out shall be the same as the period of validity of the import licence for the raw sugar.

Security

1. By way of derogation from Article 12(1) and without prejudice to the following paragraphs, the security for the import licences referred to in Article 13(1) shall be EUR 11.50 per 100 kilograms net.

2. Article 8(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall not apply to the export licences referred to in Article 13(1) of this Regulation. Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall not apply to the import licences referred to in Article 13(1) of this Regulation.

3. By way of derogation from Articles 8(5) and 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000:

(a)

the whole of the security in respect of the import licence shall be released only where the quantity of raw sugar actually imported is equal to or greater than the quantity of white sugar actually exported, taking into account the yield of the raw sugar;

(b)

where the quantity of raw sugar actually imported is less than the quantity of white sugar actually exported, then the security shall be forfeit for an amount corresponding to the difference between the amount of white sugar actually exported and the amount of raw sugar actually imported.

Point (b) of the first subparagraph shall be applied having regard to the yield of the raw sugar involved.

Article 38

Proofs

1. The amount of the additional import duties for each of the types of molasses referred to in Article 34(1) and sugar products referred to in Article 36(1) shall be established on the basis of the cif import price of the consignment in question in accordance with Article 39.

In the case of molasses the cif import price of the consignment in question shall be converted into the price of molasses of the standard quality by adjustment as referred to in Article 32.

In the case of white or raw sugar the cif import price of the consignment in question shall be converted into the price of sugar of the standard quality as defined, respectively, in Points II and III of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, or the equivalent price for the product falling within CN code 1702 90 99, as the case may be.

2. When the cif import price per 100 kilograms of a consignment is higher than the applicable molasses representative price referred to in Article 34(2) or sugar representative price referred to in Article 36(2), the importer shall present to the competent authorities of the importing Member State at least the following proofs:

(a)

the purchasing contract, or any other equivalent document;

(b)

the insurance contract;

(c)

the invoice;

(d)

the certificate of origin (where applicable);

(e)

the transport contract;

(f)

in the case of sea transport, the bill of lading.

For the verification of the cif import price of the consignment in question the authorities of the importing Member State may require any other information and documents they deem necessary.

3. In the case referred to in paragraph 2, the importer shall lodge the security referred to in Article 248(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, equal to the difference between the amount of additional import duty calculated on the basis of the representative price applicable to the product in question and the amount of additional import duty calculated on the basis of cif import price of the consignment in question.

4. The security lodged shall be released to the extent that proof of the conditions of disposal is provided to the satisfaction of the competent authorities. Otherwise, the security shall be forfeit by way of payment of the additional import duties.

5. If on verification the competent authorities establish that the requirements of this Article have not been met, they shall recover the duty due in accordance with Article 220 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92. The amount of the duty to be recovered or remaining to be recovered shall include interest from the date the goods were released for free circulation up to the date of recovery. The interest rate applied shall be that in force for recovery operations under national law.

Article 39

Calculation of the additional import duty

If the difference between the trigger price in question referred to in Article 34 for molasses or Article 36 for sugar products and the cif import price of the consignment in question:

(a)

is 10 % or less of the trigger price, the additional duty shall be zero;

(b)

is more than 10 % but less than or equal to 40 % of the trigger price, the additional duty shall be 30 % of the amount over and above 10 %;

(c)

is more than 40 % but less than or equal to 60 % of the trigger price, the additional duty shall be 50 % of the amount over and above 40 %, to which shall be added the additional duty referred to in point (b);

(d)

is more than 60 % but less than or equal to 75 % of the trigger price, the additional duty shall be 70 % of the amount over and above 60 %, to which shall be added the additional duties referred to in points (b) and (c);

(e)

is more than 75 % of the trigger price, the additional duty shall be 90 % of the amount over and above 75 %, to which shall be added the additional duties referred to in points (b), (c) and (d).

SECTION 4

Suspension or reduction of import duties for molasses

Suspension of the application of the import duties for molasses

Where the molasses representative price referred to in Article 34(2) plus the import duty applicable to cane molasses falling within CN code 1703 10 00, or to beet molasses falling within CN code 1703 90 00, exceed, for the product in question, 8,21 EUR/100 kg, the import duties shall be suspended and replaced by the amount of the difference found by the Commission. This amount shall be fixed at the same time as the representative prices referred to in Article 34(2).

However, where there is a risk that suspension of import duties may have adverse effects on the Community market in molasses, provision may be made in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 39(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 for not applying that suspension for a specific period.

Article 41

Preferential import of molasses

1. The total import duty applicable to cane molasses falling within CN code 1703 10 00, or to beet molasses falling within CN code 1703 90 00 originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) states, shall be reduced to zero up to a quota limit of 600 000 tonnes per marketing year. However, this quota will amount to 750 000 tonnes in the 2006/2007 marketing year.

2. For the purposes of this Article, the concept of ‘originating product’ and the administrative cooperation methods shall be those laid down in Protocol No 1 annexed to the Cotonou Agreement.

3. The tariff quota referred to in the first paragraph shall be managed by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308 c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.

SECTION 5

Calculation of the sucrose content of raw sugar and certain syrups

Calculating methods

1. If the yield of imported raw sugar as determined in accordance with Point III of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 differs from the yield fixed for the standard quality, the customs tariff duty for products falling within CN codes 1701 11 10 and 1701 12 10, and the additional duty for products falling within CN codes 1701 11 10, 1701 11 90, 1701 12 10 and 1701 12 90 to be levied per 100 kilograms of the said raw sugar shall be calculated by multiplying the corresponding duty fixed for raw sugar of the standard quality by a correcting coefficient. The correcting coefficient shall be obtained by dividing the percentage of the yield of the imported raw sugar by 92.

2. For the products referred to in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, the sucrose content, including other sugars expressed as sucrose, shall be determined by the application of the Lane and Eynon method (copper reduction method) to the solution inverted according to Clerget-Herzfeld. The total sugar content thus determined shall be expressed as sucrose by multiplying by 0,95.

However, the sucrose content, including other sugars expressed as sucrose, of products containing less than 85 % sucrose or other sugars expressed as sucrose, and invert sugar expressed as sucrose shall be determined by ascertaining the dry matter content. The dry matter content shall be determined according to the specific gravity of the solution diluted in a proportion of 1 to 1 by weight and, for solid products, by drying. The dry matter content shall be expressed as sucrose by multiplying by the coefficient 1.

3. For the products referred to in Article 1(1)(d) and (g) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, the dry matter content shall be determined in accordance with the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 of this Article.

4. For the products referred to in Article 1(1)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, the conversion into sucrose equivalent shall be obtained by multiplying the dry matter determined in accordance with the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 of this Article by the coefficient 1,9.
