            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2025/475
of 6 March 2025
         
fixing the import duties applicable to certain types of husked rice from 7 March 2025
         


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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


Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 183, first paragraph, point (a), thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the United States of America relating to the method of calculation of applied duties for husked rice, approved by Council Decision 2005/476/EC (2), establishes a method for calculating duties applied to imports of husked rice.












(2)


On the basis of the information provided by the competent authorities, the Commission notes that import licences for husked rice falling within CN code 1006 20 , other than import licences for basmati rice, were issued in respect of 158 350 tonnes for the period from 1 September 2024 to 28 February 2025. The import duty for husked rice falling within CN code 1006 20 , other than basmati rice, fixed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2403 (3), should therefore be adjusted.












(3)


Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2403 should therefore be repealed.












(4)


The applicable duty must be fixed within 10 days of the end of the period referred to above. This Regulation should therefore enter into force immediately,
