   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 of 28 June 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards import duties in the cereals sector (2), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               The import duties in the cereals sector are fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 513/2005 (3).
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 provides that if during the period of application, the average import duty calculated differs by EUR 5 per tonne from the duty fixed, a corresponding adjustment is to be made.
