According to Article 61, first subparagraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, isoglucose produced in excess of quota during a marketing year may be exported only within the quantitative limit to be fixed.

Detailed implementing rules for out-of-quota exports, in particular those concerning the issue of export licences, are laid down by 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 sector2. Nevertheless, the quantitative limit should be fixed per marketing year, according to market opportunities.

Commission Regulation (EU) No 397/2010 of 7 May 2010 fixing the quantitative limit for exports of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose until the end of the 2010/11 marketing year3 fixed the quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota isoglucose at 50 000 tonnes. Large part of this quantity has already been used. As of 12 July 2011 only 16 520 tonnes remain available, i.e. 67 % of the available quantity has been already used. Given the possible market outlets for out-of-quota isoglucose, it is appropriate to increase the export quantitative limit by 15 000 tonnes.

Regulation (EU) No 397/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

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