COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1528/96 of 30 July 1996 on the taking over of paddy rice by the intervention agencies and fixing the corrective amounts, price increases and reductions to be applied
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organization of the market in rice (1), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas the abovementioned Article lays down that detailed rules are to be adopted for the application of Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 22 and without the adoption of any general rules by the Council, contrary to what was previously provided by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3072/95;
Whereas the abovementioned Articles 4 and 5 largely correspond to the provisions relating to taking over by intervention agencies and special measures to prevent largescale intervention; whereas Article 5 supplements those arrangements, however, with measures to make up for paddy rice shortages following natural disasters;
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3073/95 (3), determines the standard quality of paddy rice for which the intervention price is fixed, tightening up the requirements under the previous arrangements;
Whereas, therefore, the arrangements laid down in this Regulation, featuring the appropriate adjustments and clarifications, should replace the provisions governing intervention buying-in previously laid down by Council Regulations (EEC) Nos 1424/76 (4) and 1425/76 (5), repealed by Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, and the measures laid down by Commission Regulation No 470/67/EEC (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3528/92 (7), which should therefore be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
