COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1856/98

of 28 August 1998

setting the amounts of aid for the supply of rice products from the Community
to the Canary Islands

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92
of 15 June 1992 introducing specific measures in respect
of certain agricultural products for the benefit of the
Canary Islands (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
2348/96 (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No
1601/92, the requirements of the Canary Islands for rice
are to be covered in terms of quantity, price and quality
by the mobilization, on disposal
to
exemption from the levy, of Community rice, which
involves the grant of an aid for supplies of Community
origin; whereas this aid is to be fixed with particular
reference to the costs of the various sources of supply and
in particular is to be based on the prices applied to
exports to third countries;

terms equivalent

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2790/94 (3), as
last amended by Regulation (EC) No 825/98 (4), lays down
common detailed rules for implementation of the specific
arrangements for the supply of certain agricultural prod-
ucts, including rice, to the Canary Islands;

Whereas the representative market rates defined in Article
1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 (5), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 150/95 (6), are used to
convert amounts expressed in third country currencies
and are used as the basis for determining the agricultural

conversion rates of
the Member States’ currencies;
whereas detailed rules on the application and deter-
mination of these conversions were set by Commission
Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 (7), as last amended by
Regulation (EC) No 961/98 (8);

Whereas, as a result of the application of these detailed
rules to the current market situation in the rice sector,
and in particular to the rates of prices for these products
in the European part of the Community and on the world
market, the aid for supply to the Canary Islands should be
set at the amounts given in the Annex;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are
in accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Cereals,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
