Commission Regulation (EC) No 1585/2006
of 24 October 2006
amending Annex III to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006

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, and in particular Article 10(1) thereof,
OJ L 58, 28.2.2006, p. 1.
Whereas:
(1) Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 lays down the national and regional quotas for the production of sugar, isoglucose and inulin syrup. For the 2006/2007 marketing year those quotas must be adjusted by 30 September 2006.
(2) The adjustments result in particular from the application of Articles 8 and 9 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, which provide for the allocation of additional sugar quotas and additional and supplementary isoglucose quotas. The adjustments must take account of the communications from the Member States provided for in Article 12 of 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 relating in particular to the additional and supplementary quotas already allocated on the date on which the communication is drawn up.
OJ L 178, 1.7.2006, p. 39.
(3) The adjustments to the quotas in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 also result from the application of Article 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No 320/2006 of 20 February 2006 establishing a temporary scheme for the restructuring of the sugar industry in the Community and amending Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy, which provides for restructuring aid for undertakings which renounce their quotas. It is therefore necessary to take account of the renounced quotas in accordance with the Communication from the Commission (2006/C 234/04) of 29 September 2006 on the estimated availability of financial resources for granting of restructuring aid for the 2006/2007 marketing year.
OJ L 58, 28.2.2006, p. 42.
OJ C 234, 29.9.2006, p. 9.
(4) The adjustment of the quotas laid down in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 is without prejudice to the conditions governing the grant of the aid provided for in Chapter 10f of Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers and modifying Regulations (EEC) No 2019/93, (EC) 1452/2001, (EC) 1454/2001, (EC) 1868/94, (EC) No 1251/1999, (EC) 1673/2000, (EEC) No 2358/71 and (EC) No 2529/2001 and in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 320/2006.
OJ L 270, 21.10.2003, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1406/2006 (OJ L 265, 26.9.2006, p. 1).
(5) Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
