of 28 January 2004

amending the import duties in the rice sector

rice (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 411/2002 (2),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 of

2294/2003 (4), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,

sary to adjust the import duties fixed in Regulation (EC)
