Article 16 U.K.

The Commission shall determine, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 42(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the shortfall quantities referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 39(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 for each marketing year or part of a marketing year on the basis of an exhaustive Community forecast supply balance for raw sugar. Those quantities shall be imported as special preferential sugar under tariff quotas at zero duty. They may be allocated among the Member State specified in Article 39(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 on the basis of their maximum presumed needs.

The delivery obligation for the 2003/04, 2004/05 and 2005/06 marketing years shall bear the following serial number: ‘ACP-India preferential sugar’: No 09.4322.

Article 17 U.K.

1. A minimum purchase price for standard quality raw sugar (cif free at Community European ports), to be paid by refiners, shall apply to imports under the quotas referred to in Article 16.

2. The minimum purchase price for each marketing year shall correspond to the intervention price for raw sugar referred to in Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, reduced by the amount, multiplied by a yield of 0,92 for raw sugar, of the adjustment aid to the refining industry applicable for the marketing year in question.

Article 18 U.K.

1. Import licences may be issued only by the Member States specified in Article 39(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and only to refiners who undertake in a declaration accompanying their licence application to refine the quantity of raw sugar concerned before the end of the marketing year during which it is imported.

2. Refiners may transfer their import licences to other refiners. In that event, the parties concerned shall immediately notify the competent authority thereof in the Member State which issued the licences. However, import and refining obligations shall not be transferable and Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall continue to apply.

3. Where release for free circulation does not take place in the Member State which issued the import licence, the importing Member State shall collect the certificate of origin and the supplementary document, completed as provided for in Articles 20 and 21, and forward a copy thereof to the Member State which issued the import licence.

4. The refiner who applied for the import licence shall, within three months following the expiry of the refining period referred to in paragraph 1, provide the Member State which issued the licence with proof acceptable to it that refining has taken place.

5. Where the sugar is not refined within the period set, the refiner who applied for the licence shall pay an amount equal to the full rate of duty applicable during the marketing year concerned to raw sugar falling within CN code 1701 11 90, plus, where appropriate, the highest additional rate of duty recorded during that marketing year.

6. Where it has not been possible for a quantity of sugar to be delivered in sufficient time to enable it to be refined before the end of the marketing year concerned, the importing Member State may, at the request of the refiner, extend the period of validity of the licence for 30 days from the beginning of the following marketing year. In that event, the quantity of raw sugar in question shall count against and be within the limits of the quota for the preceding marketing year.

7. Where it has not been possible to refine a quantity of sugar before the end of the marketing year concerned, the Member State in question may, at the request of the refiner, extend the refining period by a maximum of 90 days from the beginning of the following marketing year. In that case, the raw sugar in question shall be refined within that extended period and shall count against and be within the limits of the quota for the preceding marketing year.
