COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1299/2002

of 17 July 2002

fixing 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 organisation of the market in
rice (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No
411/2002 (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
2831/98 (4), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that
the rates of duty in the Common Customs Tariff are to
be charged on import of the products referred to in
Article 1 of that Regulation. However, in the case of the
products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the
import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid
for such products on importation and increased by a
certain percentage according to whether it is husked or
milled rice, minus the cif import price provided that duty
does not exceed the rate of the Common Customs Tariff
duties.

Pursuant to Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/
95, the cif import prices are calculated on the basis of
the representative prices for the product in question on
the world market or on the Community import market
for the product.

(3)

(4)

(5)

(6)

Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 lays down detailed rules for
the application of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as
regards import duties in the rice sector.

The import duties are applicable until new duties are
fixed and enter into force. They also remain in force in
cases where no quotation is available from the source
referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96
during the two weeks preceding the next periodical
fixing.

In order to allow the import duty system to function
normally, the market rates recorded during a reference
period should be used for calculating the duties.

Application of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 results in
import duties being fixed as set out in the Annexes to
this Regulation,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The import duties in the rice sector referred to in Article 11(1)
and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 shall be those fixed in
Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information
given in Annex II.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 18 July 2002.

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

Done at Brussels, 17 July 2002.
