Article 2U.K.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 IIU.K.EXPORT REFUNDS

Article 3U.K.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.

[F22. Without prejudice to paragraphs 3 and 4, the sucrose content plus, where applicable, the content of other sugars expressed as sucrose shall be calculated in accordance with points (d) and (e) of Article 3(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 952/2006 (3) .

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.]

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 %.

(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 %.

Article 38U.K.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.

[F14. The importer shall have two months from the sale of the products in question, subject to a limit of nine months from the date of acceptance of the declaration of release for free circulation, to prove that the consignment was disposed of under conditions confirming the correctness of the prices referred to in paragraph 2. Failure to meet one or other of these deadlines shall entail the loss of the security lodged. However, the time limit of nine months may be extended by the competent authorities by a maximum of three months following a duly substantiated request of the importer.

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 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.

Editorial Information

SECTION 4U.K.Suspension or reduction of import duties for molasses

Article 40U.K.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.
