Jean-Paul GAUZÈS

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 84 a (new)

(84a) To enable beet growers to complete their adaptation to the far-reaching reform carried out in the sugar sector in 2006 and to continue the efforts to become competitive undertaken since then, the present quota system should be extended until the end of the 2019-2020 marketing year. However, given the tensions seen on the European sugar market, there has to be an arrangement whereby, for as long as necessary, non- quota sugar can automatically be supplied to the market, so as to enable the structural balance of the market to be preserved.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 101 d (new)

Article 101 Withdrawal of sugar 1. Given the need to remedy situations of overproduction and of surplus based on the forecast supply balance, and taking into account the commitments of the Union resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 218 of the Treaty, the Commission may, by means of implementing acts, decide to withdraw from the market, for a given marketing year, those quantities of sugar, isoglucose or inulin syrup produced under quotas which exceed the threshold calculated in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Article. White sugar and raw sugar imported from all origins will thus be withdrawn in identical proportions for the marketing year in question. 2. The withdrawal threshold referred to in paragraph 1 shall be calculated for each undertaking holding a quota, by multiplying its quota by a coefficient, which may be fixed by the Commission by means of implementing acts adopted under the examination procedure referred to in Article 162(2) no later than 28 February of the previous marketing year, on the basis of expected market trends. On the basis of updated market trends, the Commission may decide, by means of implementing acts, by 31 October of the marketing year concerned either to adjust or, if no such decision has been taken in accordance with the first subparagraph of this paragraph, to fix a coefficient. 3. Each undertaking with a quota shall store at its own expense until the beginning of the following marketing year the sugar produced under quota beyond the threshold calculated in accordance with paragraph 2. The sugar, isoglucose or inulin syrup quantities withdrawn during a marketing year shall be treated as the first quantities produced under quota for the following marketing year. By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, taking into account the expected sugar market trends, the Commission may, by means of implementing acts, decide to consider, for the current and/or the following marketing year, all or part of the withdrawn sugar, isoglucose or inulin syrup as: (a) surplus sugar, isoglucose or inulin syrup available to become industrial sugar, isoglucose or inulin syrup, or (b) temporary quota production of which a part may be reserved for export respecting the commitments of the Union resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 218 of the Treaty. 4. If the sugar supply in the EU is not suitable, the Commission may, by means of implementing acts, decide that a certain quantity of withdrawn sugar, isoglucose or inulin syrup can be sold on the EU market before the end of the period of withdrawal. 5. Where withdrawn sugar is treated as the first sugar production of the following marketing year, the minimum price fixed for that marketing year shall be paid to beet growers. Where withdrawn sugar becomes industrial sugar or is exported according to paragraph 3(a) and (b) of this Article, the requirements of Article 101g on the minimum price shall not apply. Where withdrawn sugar is sold on the Union market before the end of the period of withdrawal according to paragraph 4, the minimum price fixed for the ongoing marketing year shall be paid to beet growers. 6. Implementing acts pursuant to this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 162(2).

The Member States shall allocate a quota to each undertaking producing sugar, isoglucose or inulin syrup established in its territory and approved under Article 101i. For each undertaking, the allocated quota shall be equal to the quota under Annex IIIb which was allocated to the undertaking starting from marketing year 2010/2011. 3. Where a quota is allocated to a sugar undertaking having more than one production unit, the Member States shall adopt the measures they consider necessary in order to take due account of the interests of sugar beet and cane growers.

Article 101l Over-quota production 1. The sugar, isoglucose or inulin syrup produced during a marketing year in excess of the quota referred to in Article 101h may be: (a) used for the processing of certain products as referred to in Article 101m; (b) carried forward to the quota production of the next marketing year, in accordance with Article 101n; (c) used for the specific supply regime for the outermost regions, in accordance with Chapter III of Regulation [ex (EC) No 247/2006] of the European Parliament and of the Council; or (d) exported within the quantitative limit fixed by the Commission by means of implementing acts, respecting the commitments resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 218 of the Treaty; or (e) automatically released onto the internal market on the basis of the forecast supply balance in order to maintain the structural balance of the market, in quantities and subject to arrangements determined by the Commission. The measures referred to in this Article shall be implemented before any activation of the measures to prevent market disturbance referred to in Article 154(1). Other surplus quantities shall be subject to the surplus levy referred to in Article 101o. 2. Implementing acts pursuant to this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 162(2).
