COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1830/2001

of 17 September 2001

amending the import duties in the cereals sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(2)

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30
June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in
cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/
2000 (2),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 of
28 June 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application of
Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards import duties
in the cereals sector (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
2235/2000 (4), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,

Whereas:

Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 provides
that if during the period of application, the average
import duty calculated differs by EUR 5 per tonne from
the duty fixed, a corresponding adjustment is to be
made. Such a difference has arisen. It is therefore neces-
sary to adjust the import duties fixed in Regulation (EC)
No 1823/2001,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 1823/2001 are hereby
replaced by Annexes I and II to this Regulation.

The import duties in the cereals sector are fixed by
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1823/2001 (5).

This Regulation shall enter into force on 18 September 2001.
