Such a limit was set by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1713. However, according to most recent estimates, the production of out-of-quota sugar is expected to reach 4 100 000 tonnes. Additional market outlets for out-of-quota sugar should therefore be ensured.\n(4)\nTaking into account that the WTO ceiling for exports in the 2016/2017 marketing year has not been fully used, it is appropriate to increase the export quantitative limit of out-of-quota sugar by 700 000 tonnes, so as to provide additional business opportunities for the Union producers of sugar.\n(5)\nImplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1713 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(6)\nTo allow the lodging of applications for export licences concerning the additional quantity of out-of-quota sugar, the suspension of the lodging of applications provided for in Article 1(3) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1810 should be abolished.\n(7)\nImplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1810 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(8)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
