   of 2 April 2007
   amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 361/2007 fixing the import duties in the cereals sector applicable from 1 April 2007
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1),
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 of 28 June 1996 on rules of application (cereal sector import duties) for Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 (2), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               The import duties in the cereals sector applicable from 1 April 2007 were fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 361/2007 (3).
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               As the average of the import duties calculated differs by more than EUR 5 a tonne from that fixed, a corresponding adjustment must be made to the import duties fixed by Regulation (EC) No 361/2007.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               Regulation (EC) No 361/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly,
