        fixing, for the 1975/76 marketing year, the monthly prioe
                   increases for paddy and husked rice
              (submitted to the Council by the Commission)

 1 . Council Regulation No 359/67/EEC of 25 July 1967 on the common organisation
       of the market in rice ( l ), asr last amended by Regulation ( EEC ) No 668/75 ( 2 )
      provides in Article 7 » paragraph 2 that 'the Council , acting in accordance
      with the voting procedure laid down in Article 43 ( 2 ) of the Treaty on a
      proposal from the Commission , shall "before 1 May each year fix for the
      following marketing year the number and amount of the monthly increases
      and their phasing over the marketing year*
2. For the 1975/76 marketing year it is proposed to raise the number of
      monthly increases from 8 to 9 and to fix the amount at 0,172 ua/lOO kg for
      paddy rice representing an increase of 27,3 f<> compared with the previous
     marketing year. This increase is in percentage terms equal to that granted
      for cereals for the same marketing year . For husked rice attention has been
     paid to the costs of processing from paddy rice to husked rice in arriving
     at 0,215 ua/lOO kg.
     Because of the increase in the number of monthly increments , their phasing
     is changed, the first increment being brought forward by one month (November/
     July instead of December/July ).
The move from 8 to 9 monthly increments is proposed on the one hand to "be analogous
with cereals and on the other to spread, the costs of stocking and finanoing rioe
in the Community sore wvenly over the marketing year*
As regards the increase in the costs of stocking            finaaoe , it is almost the
same for rioe as for cereals *

                       of
 determining for the 1975/76 marketing year the threshold prices for husked
 rice and broken rice and the protective amount to be included in the threshold
                              price for milled rice
 THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
 Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economio Community }
 Having regard to Council Regulation No 359/67/EEC^ ^ of 25 July 1967 on the
 common organisation of the market in rice , as last amended by Regulation ( EEC )
No 668/75 2\ and in particular Articles 14 (4) and 15 ( 3) thereof.
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ;
Whereas Article 14 ( 2 ) of Regulation No 359/67/EEC provides that the threshold
price for husked rice must be fixed in such a way that the selling price of
imported husked rice on the Duisburg market corresponds to the target price j "
 whereas this object can be attained by deducting from the target price
 certain standard costs , in particular transhipment costs and transport oosts
 between Rotterdam and Duisburg, which are usually incurred when the "products
 are imported ;
Whereas Article 15 ( l ) of Regulation No 359/67/EEC provides that the threshold
price for broken rice must be fixed between a lower and an upper limit calcu­
lated in relation to the threshold price for maize ; whereas , in view of that
relationship and of the need to import broken rice in order to ensure supplies
for the Community , that threshold price should be fixed at a level corresponding
in round figures to the lower limit ;
Whereas Article 14 ( 3) of Regulation^No 359/67/EEC provides that the threshold
prices for milled rice are to be derived from the threshold prices for husked
rice to whioh an amount for the protection of the industry is to be added;
whereas , in view of the situation of the Community rioe industry , it appears
appropriate to retain for the 1975/76 1 marketing year the protective amount
applicable in 1974/75 ,

 1 . Articles 14 and 15 of Regulation 359/67/EEC           provide that the Council
     shall fix each year , before 1 May , acting in accordance with the voting
     procedure laid down in Article 43 ( 2 ) of the Treaty
     - the threshold price for husked round grain rice
     - an amount for the protection of the industry to "be inoluded in the
       threshold price of milled rice .
     - the threshold price for "broken rice
2 . The threshold price for husked round grain rice shall "be fixed in Buch
     a way that the selling price of the imported product corresponds to the
     target price of the same product . To achieve this , account has been
     taken , in the present draft Regulation , . of the transport costs by barge
     of 250 to $00 tons of rice from Rotterdam to Duisburg , of the unloading
     costs at Rotterdam and of importing margins which have been deducted from
     the target price
3 . No change compared with the previous marketing year is proposed in the
     amount for the protection of the industry to be included in the threshold
     price for milled rice .
4 « As the Community has a deficit of broken rice , a threshold price for this
     product is proposed which is at the lower level of the range fixed in Article
  ' 15 ( 1 ) of Régulation 359/67 /SEC

common organisation of the market in rice , as last amended by Regulation ( EEC )

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ;
Whereas ,  in fixing the number and the amount of the monthly increases and
deciding   on the first month in which the increases are to apply , both the '
costs of   storing and financing rioe in the Community and the need to ensure
that the   disposal of stocks of rice conforms to market requirements should be t
taken into account ;
Whereas , to this end , for the 1975/76 marketing year , the start of monthly
increases should be fixed at 1 November and their number at nine and at a
level equal to the storage costs now prevalent in the rice-producing regions
of the Community , the amount being expressed in round figures , and the
monthly increases for husked rice should be fixed at a level which takes account
of the increases for paddy rice and the ratio between the two stages in question ,
