COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 911/1999

of 30 April 1999

to the Azores and Madeira

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92
of 15 June 1992 introducing specific measures in respect
of certain agricultural products for the benefit of the
Azores and Madeira (1), as last amended by Regulation
(EC) No 2348/96 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No
1600/92, the requirements of the Azores and Madeira for
rice are to be covered in terms of quantity, price and
quality by the mobilization, on disposal terms equivalent
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;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1696/92 (3),
as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2596/93 (4), lays
down common detailed rules for implementation of the
specific arrangements for the supply of certain agricul-
tural products, including rice, to the Azores and Madeira;
whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1983/92 of 16
July 1992 laying down detailed rules for implementation
of the specific arrangements for the supply of rice prod-
ucts to the Azores and Madeira and establishing the fore-

cast supply balance for these products (5), as last amended
by Regulation (EC) No 1683/94 (6), lays down detailed
rules which complement or derogate from the provisions
of the aforementioned Regulation;

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 Azores and Madeira
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
