COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 414/83

of 21 February 1983

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2744/75 as regards products falling within subheading 23.02 A of the Common Customs Tariff

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1451/82 (2), and in particular Article 14 (3) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas, under Council Regulation (EEC) No 2744/75 of 29 October 1975 on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1459/82 (4), the levies applicable to products falling within subheading 23.02 A of the Common Customs Tariff comprise only the variable component, the fixed component being zero;

Whereas the introduction into the calculation of the said levies of a fixed component, accompanied by a corresponding reduction of the variable component, would be likely better to ensure the protection of the industry producing these products, without increasing the overall import charge;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2744/75 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2744/75 is hereby amended as follows in respect of the coefficients and fixed components applicable to products falling within subheading 23.02 A of the Common Customs Tariff until the end of the 1983/84 marketing year:
