                        COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC )
     amending Regulation ( EEC ) No 1418 / 76 on the common organization of the
                            market in rice
 C0M(82 ) 345 final
 ---pagebreak---                       EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Under the present arrangements for imports of rice into the French overseas
department of Reunion , Reunion is exempted from the Levy on imports from
non-member countries and receives a subsidy on imports from Member States .
The subsidy , depending on the product , is either equal to the amount of
the levy or equal to this amount less the amount for the protection of
the industry .
The purpose of these provisions is to enable Reunion to purchase rice at
the world price in order to sustain its consumption and make its industry
competitive .
Article 11a ) of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1418 / 76 lays down that these provisions
apply to all rice : paddy , husked , semi-milled , wholly-milled and broken rice .
It now appears that imports into Reunion of semi-milled rice have caused
some distortions on the island 's domestic market , making its industry
uncompetitive .
It is therefore proposed that semi-milled rice be excluded from the
provisions of Article 11 a of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1418/ 76 .
