of 22 December 1986
amending Regulation (EEC) No 470/67 as regards the criteria to be used for the taking over of paddy rice by intervention agencies
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the market in rice (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1449/86 (2), and in particular Article 5 (5) thereof,
Whereas Article 2 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 470/67 of 21 August 1967 on the taking over of paddy rice by intervention agencies, and fixing the corrective amounts, price increases and reductions applied by them (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 868/86 (4), fixes the maximum moisture content of the product offered to the intervention agency and the minimum yield after processing; whereas Annexes I and II to the abovementioned Regulation lay down the price increases and reductions for the moisture content and milling yield after processing, together with the basic yield;
Whereas, in order to take account of development in recent years in rice market preparation techniques and of the problems which could arise for intervention where rice with a very high moisture content is offered, provisions should be made for a lower maximum moisture content; whereas account should be taken of the possibility that in certain production areas in the Community, the yield after processing may be very low as a result of unfavourable weather changes and as a result, provision should be made for a greater tolerance; whereas account should be taken of changes in varieties in Community rice production in the last few years;
Whereas the opportunity should be taken of making other amendments relating to form;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
