24, 2. 94 Official Journal of the European Communities No L 53/7 - COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 392/94 of 23 February 1994 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1443/82 laying down detailed rules for the application of the quota system in the sugar sector THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector ('), as last amended by Regula- tion (EC) No 133/94 (%, and in particular Articles 24b (6) and 39 thereof, Whereas the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 has been extended with effect from 1 July 1994 to include inulin syrup covered by CN codes ex 1702 60 90 and ex 1702 90 90 ; whereas the production quota arrangements provided therein apply to this product from the 1994/95 marketing year onwards ; whereas for this purpose the necessary detailed rules should be established by amend- ing Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1443/82 (%), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 886/91(%); Whereas Article 24b (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 lays down that in principle the A quota of each under- taking producing inulin syrup shall be equal to its production volume, established by the Member State concerned on terms to be determined, obtained during the period 1 July 1992 to 30 June 1993 form a specific installation desgined and reserved for the hydrolysis of inulin as part of a complete integrated conversion process stretching from reception of the basic agricultural product to final production of inulin syrup; whereas, having regard to this process definition, provision should be made for Member States to take into account when carrying out this exercise at all events the quantity of roots of the basic agricultural product purchased, accepted into the reception point and processed into inulin syrup during the period concerned, as well as the quantity of inulin syrup produced in the said installation at the end of a continuous and uninterrupted manufacturing process during the reference period; Whereas Article 24b (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 lays down that, when determining the undertaking’s installed technical production capacity necessary for esta- blishing the A and B quotas, reference must be made to the continuous industrial production in the relevant installation ; whereas, in order to ensure the uniform application of this rule in the Community, it is necessary () OJ No L 177, 1. 7. 1981, p. 4. () O] No L 22, 27. 1. 1994, p. 7. () OJ No L 158, 9. 6. 1982, p. 17. () OJ No L 90, 11. 4. 1991, p. 15. to define its scope by reference in particular to the rela- tionship between the actual production capacity and the potential market demand; Whereas inulin syrup in product form generally appears as such from the moment that the inuline or its oligofruc- toses have undergone the process known as hydrolysis and first evaporation ; whereas that factor, together with the need to eliminate any discretion in the choice of the moment at which future production should be estab- lished, means that, from the 1994/95 marketing year, production should be established immediately after the hydrolysis and first evaporation process has ended and before any operation to separate the glucose and fructose constituents or to produce mixtures ; Whereas the determination both of production capacities and of production itself must, by virtue in particular of the application of the coefficient of 1,9 fixed by Regula- tion (EEC) No 1785/81 for achieving equivalance between inulin syrup and sugar/isoglucose, proceed on the under- standing that those operations are to be carried out by reference to an inulin syrup with an 80 % fructose content ; Whereas, in order to enable the Member States concerned to determine and allocate, in full knowledge of the facts, the quotas of all undertakings producing inulin syrup located on their territories, each of the said undertakings should be required to notify certain information as well as to grant the Member State concerned at all times the right to carry out all the controls and verifications of its instal- lations which may be necessary; Whereas the production year for inulin syrup coincides in general with the production year for sugar; whereas the establishment of inulin syrup production and the calcula- tion of the production levies should accordingly take place by reference to the same dates as those applicable to the production of sugar; Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION : Article 1 Regulation (EEC) No 1443/82 is hereby amended as follows :
