(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
On 20 December 1996 the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 (1). Community demand for the products to which that Regulation applies should be met under the most favourable conditions. For that purpose, with effect from 1 July 2008 new Community tariff quotas should be opened at zero rates of duty for appropriate amounts and any disturbance of the markets for those products should be avoided.
(2)
The quota amounts for five autonomous Community tariff quotas are insufficient to meet the needs of the Community industry. Consequently, those quota amounts should be increased.
(3)
Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4)
Having regard to the economic importance of this Regulation, it is necessary to rely on the grounds of urgency provided for in point 1.3 of the Protocol on the role of national parliaments in the European Union annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Communities.

Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas new common detailed rules for implementation of the specific supply arrangements for the Canary Islands are laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2790/94 (4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2883/94, in particular, for the issue and period of validity of licences and certificates, the payment of aid and the monitoring and control of commercial operations; whereas those provisions replace the detailed rules laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1695/92 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2596/93 (6), and apply in the various market sectors from 1 December 1994;
Whereas, therefore, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1728/92 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2427/94 (8), in the cereals sector and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1997/92 (9), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1683/94 (10), in the rice sector should be repealed from the same date;
