            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1090/2011
of 27 October 2011
         
on the issue of licences for importing rice under the tariff quotas opened for the October 2011 subperiod by Regulation (EC) No 327/98


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


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,

Whereas:







(1)


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) 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)


October is the only subperiod for the quota with order number 09.4138 laid down in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 327/98. This quota comprises the balance of the unused quantities from the quotas with order numbers 09.4127-09.4128-09.4129-09.4130 in the previous subperiod. October is the last subperiod for the quotas with order numbers 09.4148 and 09.4168 laid down in Article 1(1)(b) and (e) of Regulation (EC) No 327/98, which comprise the balance of the unused quantities from the previous subperiod.












(3)


The notifications presented under Article 8(a) of Regulation (EC) No 327/98 show that, for the quota with order number 09.4138 the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of October 2011 under Article 4(1) of that Regulation cover a quantity greater than that available. The extent to which licences may be issued should therefore be determined by establishing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested under the quota concerned.












(4)


The final percentage take-up for 2011 of each quota provided for by Regulation (EC) No 327/98 should also be made known.












(5)


In order to ensure sound management of the procedure of issuing import licences, the present Regulation should enter into force immediately after its publication,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:



Article 1

2.   The final percentage take-up for 2011 of each quota provided for by Regulation (EC) No 327/98 is given in the Annex to this Regulation.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.




This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 27 October 2011.
