Agricultural prices 2000/2001: sugar price, standard quality of beet

PURPOSE: to fix certain sugar prices and the standard quality of beet for the 2000/2001 marketing year. COMMUNITY MEASURE: Council Regulation 1363/2000/EC fixing certain sugar prices and the standard quality of beet for the 2000/2001 marketing year. CONTENT: The Council formally adopted the Regulation on the fixing of certain sugar prices and the standard quality of beet. For the last marketing year of the current production quota regime, the basic price for beet, the intervention price for white sugar and the manufacturing margin are frozen. Consequently, the minimum prices for A beet and B beet remain unchanged (they equal 98% and 68% of the basic price respectively). However, it should be noted that the actual minimum price for B beet will ultimately depend on the final rate of the levy on B beet, which will be fixed later by the Management Committee procedure (in accordance with Article 33 of Regulation 99/2038/EC). The reimbursement of storage costs will be kept at EUR 0,33 per 100 kg. ENTRY INTO FORCE: This Regulation shall enter into force on 02.07.2000 and shall apply for the 2000/2001 marketing year. �
