COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2270/98

of 21 October 1998

amending the import duties in the rice sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of
22 December 1995 on the common organization of the
market in rice (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
2072/98 (2),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1503/
96 of 29 July 1996 laying down detailed rules for the
application of Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as
regards import duties in the rice sector (3), as last amended
by Regulation (EC) No 1403/97 (4), and in particular
Article 4 (1) thereof,

Whereas Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96
provides that if during the period of application, the
average import duty calculated differs by ECU 10 per
tonne from the duty fixed, a corresponding adjustment is
to be made; whereas such a difference has arisen; whereas
it is therefore necessary to adjust the import duties fixed
in Regulation (EC) No 2212/98,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 2212/98 are
hereby replaced by Annexes I and II to this Regulation.

Whereas import duties in the rice sector have been fixed
by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2212/98 (5);

This Regulation shall enter into force on 22 October
1998.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member
States.
