March 1998 on the taking over of paddy rice by the inter-
vention agencies and fixing the corrective amounts and the
price increases and reductions to be applied (3), and in particular
the second subparagraph of Article 4(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Pursuant to Article 3a of Regulation (EC) No 708/98, the
quantities of paddy rice eligible for intervention in the
2003/04 marketing year are to be broken down into two
tranches for the producer Member States and a third,

shared tranche for the Community as a whole. In order
to determine the quantities to be covered by tranche 3,
the Member States have informed the Commission in
accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(4)
of Regulation (EC) No 708/98 of the quantities of rice
offered for intervention.

Since the total quantity offered for intervention exceeds
the quantity available, an award coefficient should be
applied. This coefficient is calculated so that the total
quantity awarded, having regard to the minimum
is lower than or equal to the
quantity for each offer,
available quantity,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The award coefficient for the quantities provided for in the
second subparagraph of Article 4(4) of Regulation (EC) No
708/98 shall be 0,860675.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that

On 19 July 2004, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
