1. Articles 14 a-nd 15 of Regulation 359/67/SEC ^ lay down that the Council
      shall fix , "before 1 May and according to the procedure provided for irt
      Article 43(2) of the Treaty:
      – the threshold price for round grained husked rice ;
      – the amount to "be included in the threshold price for milled rice for
         the protection of the industry;
      – the threshold price for "broken rice »
2.    The threshold price for round grained huslced rice is fixed in such a way
      that the sale price of the imported product will correspond to the level
      of the target price for the sane product . In order to achieve this , the
      proposed Regulation takes into account the cost of transporting rice from
      Rotterdam to Duisburg in bargeloads of 250 to 500 metric tons , the costs
      of transhipment at Rotterdam and the import margin , which have "been
      deducted froia tho target price .                                                i
3.    The amount to "be included in the threshold price for milled rice for the
      protection of the industry is proposed at a level which is unchanged in
      comparison with the previous marketing year.
4 . Because the Community has a deficit in "broken rice , it is proposed to fix
      the threshold price for this product at a level below that of the range
      fixed "by Article 15(l ) of Regulation 359/67/EEG »-
