            COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 672/2009
of 24 July 2009
         
on the issue of licences for importing rice under the tariff quotas opened for the July 2009 subperiod by Regulation (EC) No 327/98


THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,


Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),


Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,


Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 327/98 of 10 February 1998 opening and providing for the administration of certain tariff quotas for imports of rice and broken rice (3), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 5 thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Regulation (EC) No 327/98 opened and provided for the administration of certain import tariff quotas for rice and broken rice, broken down by country of origin and split into several subperiods in accordance with Annex IX to that Regulation.












(2)


July is the third subperiod for the quota laid down in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 327/98 and the second subperiod for the quotas laid down in Article 1(1)(b), (c) and (d).












(3)


The notifications presented under Article 8(a) of Regulation (EC) No 327/98 show that, for the quotas with order numbers 09.4154 – 09.4166, the applications lodged in the first ten working days of July 2009 under Article 4(1) of the Regulation cover a quantity greater than that available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by establishing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested under the quotas concerned.












(4)


It is also clear from the notifications that, for the quotas with order numbers 09.4127 – 09.4128 – 09.4129 – 09.4149 – 09.4150 – 09.4152 – 09.4153, the applications lodged in the first ten working days of July 2009 under Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 327/98 cover a quantity less than that available.












(5)


The total quantities available for the following subperiod should therefore be fixed for the quotas with order numbers 09.4127 – 09.4128 - 09.4129 - 09.4130 – 09.4148 – 09.4112 – 09.4116 - 09.4117 - 09.4118 – 09.4119 – 09.4166, in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 327/98,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

2.   The total quantities available under the quotas with order numbers 09.4127 – 09.4128 – 09.4129 – 09.4130 – 09.4148 – 09.4112 – 09.4116 – 09.4117 – 09.4118 – 09.4119 – 09.4166 as referred to in Regulation (EC) No 327/98 for the next subperiod are set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
