of 27 March 1998

amending Regulation (EC) No 2050/97 determining the reductions to be applied
in certain Member States to the compensatory payments under the aid scheme
for rice producers

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the
market in rice (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No
192/98 (2), and in particular the second subparagraph of
Article 6(5) thereof,

Whereas Article 6(5) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 lays
down that where the areas given over to rice in a given
year exceed a specific base area, a reduction in the
compensatory payment shall be applied to all producers
in the base area in question for the same production year;

Whereas Article 6(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No
613/97 of 8 April 1997 laying down rules for the applica-
tion of Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as regards
the conditions
for granting compensatory payments
under the aid scheme for rice producers (3), as amended
by Regulation (EC) No 1305/97 (4), lays down that the
notifications from the Member States may, under certain
conditions, be corrected and that, after checking the
corrected information,
the Commission must, where
appropriate, recalculate the size of the reductions estab-

lished pursuant to Article 6(5) of Regulation (EC) No
3072/95;

Whereas Spain has submitted a corrected notification
regarding the area given over to rice in 1997; whereas that
area is lower than the national base area established for
that Member State; whereas, after analysing the informa-
tion, the reduction in the compensatory payment laid
down for Spain by Commission Regulation (EC) No
2050/97 (5) should be cancelled;
