Section 2 of Chapter II of that Regulation deals with the determination and elimination of surplus quantities of sugar present in Croatia at the date of its accession. In particular it sets deadlines for the determination of the surplus sugar quantities, for their elimination and for the proofs of elimination to be provided by identified operators in Croatia. It also fixes reference periods to be used in the calculation of charges for Croatia if surplus sugar quantities are not eliminated.\n(2)\nDue to the time required for thorough analysis of the information communicated by Croatia and discussion with that Member State and in order to ensure correct application of Chapter II, Section 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013, it is necessary to extend the deadlines set out in that Implementing Regulation as far as they concern the determination of surplus quantities of sugar.\n(3)\nImplementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(4)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
