Proposal for a regulation
Recital 84 a (new)

(84 a) 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, the tensions observed on the European sugar market call for a mechanism that, for as long as necessary, allows for the possibility to automatically release out-of-quota sugar onto the market to preserve the structural balance of this market.

Article 101 d (new)

Article 101 d Withdrawal of sugar 1. Given the need to remedy situations 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 or isoglucose or inulin sugar produced under quotas which exceed the threshold calculated in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Article. In that case, white sugar and raw sugar imports from all sources shall be withdrawn from the market by the same proportion for the marketing year concerned. 2.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 in accordance with 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, by 31 October of the marketing year concerned, by means of implementing acts, decide either to adjust or, in the case where no coefficient has been fixed pursuant to the first subparagraph, to fix a coefficient. 3. Each undertaking provided with a quota or an import licence 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 The sugar, isoglucose or inulin syrup quantities withdrawn during a marketing year shall be treated as the first quantities produced under quota for the following marketing year.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, industrial isoglucose or industrial 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 sugar supply in the Union is inadequate, the Commission may, by means of implementing acts, decide that a certain quantity of withdrawn sugar, isoglucose or inulin syrup may be sold on the Union market before the end of the period of withdrawal. 5. In the case where withdrawn sugar is treated as the first sugar production of the following marketing year, the minimum price of that marketing year shall be paid to beet growers. In the case where withdrawn sugar becomes industrial sugar or is exported in accordance with points (a) and (b) of paragraph 3 of this Article, the requirements of Article 101 g on the minimum price shall not apply. In the case where withdrawn sugar is sold on the Union market before the end of the period of withdrawal in accordance with paragraph 4, the minimum price of 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).
