Regulation (EEC) No 784/68 of the Commissionof 26 June 1968laying down detailed rules for calculating c.i.f. prices for white sugar and raw sugar THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community; Having regard to Council Regulation No 1009/67/EECOJ No 308, 18.12.1967, p. 1. of 18 December 1967 on the common organisation of the market in sugar, and in particular Article 13 (4) thereof; Whereas Article 13 (4) of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC provides that detailed rules must be laid down for calculating c.i.f. prices and adjusting them to allow for any deviations from the standard quality; Whereas paragraphs 1 and 2 of that Article require the most favourable purchasing opportunities for white sugar and raw sugar on the world market to be determined regularly for a specified frontier crossing point; Whereas, to this end, the Commission must take account of all the information available to it either directly or through the agency of the Member States; whereas, to ensure objectivity and that the c.i.f. prices to be calculated are representative, certain information must be disregarded when the c.i.f. prices are being calculated, particularly if the quantities involved are small or if the goods are not of sound and fair marketable quality; Whereas, since offer prices for white sugar and raw sugar are often quoted for delivery otherwise than in bulk c.i.f. Rotterdam, provision must be made for adjustments; whereas, when the prescribed adjustment of offer prices on the basis of the standard quality is being effected, the coefficients provided for in connection with the intervention referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC should be used in the case of white sugar; whereas, in the case of raw sugar, provision should be made for multiplication by a corrective factor which takes yield into account; Whereas, when offers of raw beet sugar are being examined, it is unlikely that the results of the analyses which must, pursuant to Article 1 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 431/68OJ No L 89, 10.4.1968, p. 3. of 9 April 1968 determining the standard quality for raw sugar and fixing the Community frontier crossing point for calculating c.i.f. prices for sugar, be taken into account for the purpose of calculating yield will normally be available; Whereas the information needed to calculate the yield of raw cane sugar pursuant to paragraph 3 of the same Article is generally available for all offers of raw sugar; whereas disparities arising when the c.i.f. price is being calculated from the calculation of the yield of raw beet sugar in accordance with the detailed rules laid down in paragraph 3 of that Article can be disregarded and whereas, therefore, the yield of both types of raw sugar should be calculated in accordance with paragraph 3 of that Article; Whereas, to avoid disturbances of the Community market by sudden and considerable alterations in the levy which do not reflect actual price movements on the world market, the Commission should be able, in certain circumstances and for a limited period, to leave a c.i.f. price unchanged as an exceptional measure; Whereas, to prevent the Community market from being disturbed by imports of sugar which has been specially treated or specially packaged, a special c.i.f. price must be calculated for such imports in certain circumstances; Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar; HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
