of 29 September 2010
amending Regulation (EC) No 967/2006 as regards deadlines applicable to export and levying of sugar produced in excess of quota
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Whereas:
Article 19(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 967/2006 lays down that in case of exporting the production in excess of the quota, manufacturers shall submit the requested proofs of export to the competent authority of the Member State before 1 April following the marketing year in which the surplus was produced.
Where the deadline to submit proofs of export to the competent authority of the Member State is extended, the deadline for the Member State to notify the total levy to be paid by manufacturers and the deadline for manufacturers to pay the levy should also be adjusted. Similarly, the deadline fixed for Member States to establish and communicate to the Commission the surplus quantities should be modified.
Articles 3, 4 and 19 of Regulation (EC) No 967/2006 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,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
