Commission Regulation (EU) No 707/2010

of 5 August 2010

amending Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas in the sugar sector

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation)(1), and in particular Article 148 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Albania, of the other part(2) entered into force on 1 April 2009. Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 of 25 September 2009 opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas in the sugar sector(3) should refer to this Stabilisation and Association Agreement.

(2) An Interim Agreement on trade and trade related matters between the European Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Serbia, of the other part(4), entered into force on 1 February 2010. Articles 1 and 2 of Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 should refer to this new trade arrangement.

(3) Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 provides that import licence applications shall be submitted during the first seven days of each of the 12 sub-periods, provided for in Article 3(2) of that Regulation. In order to facilitate trade, operators should be allowed to import from the day on which the tariff quota is opened. Consequently they should be allowed to apply for import licences in the month preceding the first sub-period. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the time periods for the application, notification and issuing of import licences for the first sub-period.

(4) Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 provides penalties if imported sugar, which is not intended for refining, is refined. However, these penalties should not apply if justified and exceptional technical reasons are approved by Member States.

(5) Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
