THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural                           markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation)(1),                        

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration                           of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences(2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,                        

Having regard to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 of 7 December 2011 opening and providing for the administration                           of certain tariff quotas for imports of rice and broken rice(3), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 5 thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 opened and provided for the administration of certain import tariff quotas for rice                              and broken rice, broken down by country of origin and split into several subperiods in accordance with Annex I to that Implementing                              Regulation.

(2)July is the third subperiod for the quota provided for under Article 1(1)(a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011                              and the second subperiod for the quotas provided for under Article 1(1)(b), (c) and (d) of that Implementing Regulation.

(3)The notifications sent in accordance with point (a) of Article 8 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 show that, for                              the quotas with order number 09.4154 — 09.4166, the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of July 2013 under Article                              4(1) of that Implementing Regulation cover a quantity greater than that available. The extent to which import licences may                              be issued should therefore be determined by fixing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantity requested under                              the quotas concerned.

(4)Those notifications also show that, for the quotas with order number 09.4127 — 09.4128 — 09.4129 — 09.4148 — 09.4149 — 09.4150                              — 09.4152 — 09.4153, the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of July 2013 under Article 4(1) of Implementing                              Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 cover a quantity less than that available.

(5)The total quantity available for the following subperiod should also be fixed for the quotas with order number 09.4127 — 09.4128                              — 09.4129 — 09.4130 — 09.4148 — 09.4112 — 09.4116 — 09.4117 — 09.4118 — 09.4119 — 09.4166, in accordance with the first subparagraph                              of Article 5 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011.

(6)In order to ensure sound management of the procedure of issuing import licences, this Regulation should enter into force immediately                              after its publication,
