COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2315/98

of 27 October 1998

concerning applications for export licences for rice and broken rice with advance
fixing of the refund

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 organisation of the
market in rice (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
2072/98 (2),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/
95 of 23 May 1995 laying down special detailed rules for
import and export
the system of
the application of
licences for cereals and rice (3), as last amended by Regu-
lation (EC) No 444/98 (4), and in particular the second
subparagraph of Article 7(4) thereof,

Whereas Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1162/95
provides, where this paragraph is specifically referred to
when an export refund is fixed, for an interval of three
working days between the day of submission of applica-
tions and the granting of export licences with advance
fixing of the refund and provides that the Commission is
to fix a uniform percentage reduction in the quantities if
applications for export
licences exceed the quantities
which may be exported; whereas Commission Regulation
(EC) No 2290/98 (5) fixes refunds under the procedure
provided for in the abovementioned paragraph for 8 000
tonnes;

Whereas the quantities applied for on 23 October 1998
are in excess of the available quantity of 8 000 tonnes;
whereas a percentage reduction should therefore be fixed

for export licence applications submitted on 23 October
1998;

Whereas, in view of its purpose, this Regulation should
take effect from the day of its publication in the Official
Journal of the European Communities,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Applications for export licences for rice and broken rice
with advance fixing of the refund submitted under Regu-
lation (EC) No 2290/98 on 23 October 1998 shall give
rise to the issue of licences for the quantities applied for
to which a percentage reduction of 35,30 % for rice
destined for Switzerland and 41,99 % for rice for destina-
tions 02, 03 and 05 in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No
2290/98 has been applied.

Article 2

Applications for export licences for rice and broken rice
submitted from 24 October 1998 shall not give rise to the
issue of export licences pursuant to Regulation (EC) No
2290/98.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on 28 October
1998.

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

Done at Brussels, 27 October 1998.
