Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 lays down that the inter-

if the quality of the rice offered for
quality and that,
intervention differs from that standard quality, the inter-
vention price is adjusted by applying price increases or
reductions.

For the application of the price increases and reductions,
account should be taken of the basic characteristics of
the paddy rice, thereby allowing an objective assessment
of its quality to be made; assessing the moisture content,
the milling yield and grain defects, using simple and
effective methods, meets this requirement.

Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 limits the quantity that
can be bought in by the intervention agencies to 75 000
tonnes per marketing year.
In order to allocate this
quantity fairly, the quantities for each producer Member
State should be fixed, taking account of the national base

Article 9

Delivery

1.
The intervention agency shall fix the date and intervention
centre of delivery and shall notify the applicant of both
forthwith. These conditions may be appealed no later than
two working days from the receipt of the notification.

Article 10

Taking-over by the intervention agency

1.
The rice offered shall be taken over by the intervention
agency where the minimum quantity and characteristics laid
down in Articles 2 and 3 have been established by the inter-
vention agency or its agent for the goods delivered to the
intervention store, in accordance with Article 12.

2.
The quantity delivered shall be established by weight in
the presence of the applicant and a representative of the inter-
vention agency, who must have no relationship to the applicant.
The storekeeper may represent the intervention agency.

3.
In this case the intervention agency shall itself carry out a
check within 30 days of the completion of delivery. The weight
at least must be checked, using volumetric measurement.

If, having used the volumetric method referred to in the first
subparagraph, the weight is less than 6 % below the quantity
recorded in the storekeeper’s accounts, the storekeeper shall
bear all the costs relating to the missing quantities established
as such in a subsequent weighing compared to the weight
recorded in the accounts at taking over.

If, having used the method referred to in the first subparagraph,
the weight is more than 6 % below the quantity recorded in the
storekeeper’s accounts, the goods shall be immediately weighed.
The weighing costs involved shall be borne by the storekeeper if
the weight established is less than the weight recorded in the
accounts. In the opposite case, the intervention agency shall
bear the weighing costs.

Article 11

Taking-over at the applicant’s warehouse

1.
The intervention agency can take the paddy rice over at
the place where it is stored when the offer is submitted rather
than at the intervention centre nominated by the applicant. In
this case the goods taken over must be stored separately from
other goods.

The date of taking over shall coincide with the date on which
the minimum characteristics listed in the take-over
record
referred to in Article 14 have been noted.

2. Where take-over is carried out under the conditions laid
down in paragraph 1, the quantity can be established on the
basis of the stock accounts — drawn up to professional speci-
fications and in accordance with the intervention agency’s
requirements — provided that:

recorded in the storekeeper’s accounts, the storekeeper shall
immediately weigh the rice. The storekeeper shall bear the
weighing costs if the weight thus established is less than the
weight as recorded. The EAGGF shall bear the costs in the
opposite case.

Article 12

Verification of quality requirements

1. With a view to verifying the requisite quality requirements
under Article 3 for accepting the rice into intervention, samples
shall be taken by the intervention agency in the presence of the
applicant or his/her duly authorised agent.

Three representative samples, each weighing a minimum of one
kilogram, shall be collected. One each shall go to:

(a)

the accounts show:

(a)

the applicant,

— the weight recorded by weighing, carried out not more

than 10 months previously,

(b) the store where take-over is to take place,

— the quality characteristics at the time of weighing, the

moisture content in particular,

(c)

the intervention agency.

— any transsilages,

— and the processing carried out;

(b) the storekeeper declares that the lot offered corresponds in

every detail to the information in the accounts.

The weight to be recorded shall be the weight entered in the
accounts, adjusted as appropriate to take account of any
difference between the moisture
established at
weighing and the content established on the basis of the repre-
sentative sample.

content

However, the intervention agency shall carry out a volumetric
check within 30 days of the date of taking over. Any difference
between the quantity weighed and the estimated quantity using
the volumetric method must not be more than 6 %.

If, having used the volumetric method referred to in the third
subparagraph, the weight is less than 6 % below the quantity
recorded in the storekeeper’s accounts, the storekeeper shall
bear all the costs relating to the missing quantities established
as such in a subsequent weighing compared to the weight
recorded in the accounts at taking over.

If, having used the method referred to in the third subpar-
is more than 6 % below the quantity
agraph,

the weight

To make up the representative samples, the number of indi-
vidual samples to be taken shall be obtained by dividing the
quantity of the lot on offer by 10 tonnes. Each individual
sample shall weigh the same. The representative samples shall
be made up of the sum of the individual samples, divided by
three.

The requisite quality requirements shall be verified using the
representative sample intended for the store where take-over
is to take place.

2. Where rice is taken over outside the applicant’s store,
representative samples shall be taken of each part-delivery (by
lorry, barge, railway wagon) under the conditions laid down in
paragraph 1.

Before its entry into the intervention store the examination of
each part-delivery can be restricted to a check of the moisture
content and impurity level and verification that no live insects
are present. However,
if it later becomes apparent when the
check is finalised that a part-delivery does not satisfy the
minimum quality requirements,
the lot shall be refused for
take over. The entire lot must be withdrawn. The applicant
shall bear the costs of this operation.

If the intervention agency in a Member State is able to check all
the minimum quality requirements for each part-delivery before
it enters the store, it shall refuse take-over of any part-delivery
that fails to satisfy these requirements.

Article 13

Establishing the rice’s characteristics

1. Where the goods are accepted, once the examination
under Article 12 has been carried out the precise characteristics
of the goods shall be identified with a view to establishing the
price to be paid to the applicant. This price shall be established
for the lot offered on the basis of the weighted average of the
test results on the representative samples as defined in Article
12.

The test results shall be notified to the applicant in the take-
over record provided for in Article 14.

2.
Should the applicant contest the result of the test carried
out to determine the price under paragraph 1, a laboratory
shall carry out a
approved by the competent authorities

the goods
using a new representative
sample made up equally of
samples held by the applicant and the intervention agency. In
the case of part-deliveries of the lot offered, the result shall be

The result of these analyses shall be final and shall decide the
price to be paid to the applicant. The cost of carrying out these
new analyses shall be borne by the losing party.

A take-over record shall be drawn up by the intervention
agency for each lot. The applicant or his/her agent can be
present when the record is being drawn up.

It shall indicate:

on the date fixed as the first day of delivery, account being
taken of the price increases and reductions provided for in
Article 4 and the provisions of Article 8 of this Regulation.

Where the rice is taken over at the applicant’s store pursuant to
Article 11, the price to be paid shall be established on the basis
of the intervention price valid on the date the offer is accepted,
adjusted by the applicable price increases and reductions, and
reduced by the most advantageous transport costs between the
place where the paddy rice is taken over and the nearest inter-
vention centre, and by the costs of removal from storage. Such
costs shall be determined by the intervention agency.

2.
Payment shall be made between the 32nd and 37th day
following the day of taking over referred to in Article 10(1) or
Article 11(1).

Where Article 13(2) applies, payment shall be made as soon as
possible after the results of the last test are notified to the
applicant.

Where applicants must submit an invoice before they can be
paid and where this invoice is not submitted within the time
limit laid down in the first subparagraph, payment shall be
made within five working days of the actual submission of
the invoice.
