REGULATION (EEC) No 2729/75 OF THE COUNCIL  of 29 October 1975  on the import levies on mixtures of cereals, rice and broken rice
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1);
Whereas, to ensure the proper working of the levy system applicable to imports of cereals, rice and broken rice from third countries introduced by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 (2) of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals, and Council Regulation No 359/67/EEC (3) of 25 July 1967 on the common organization of the market in rice, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 668/75 (4), suitable rules should be applied to trade in mixtures of cereals, rice and broken rice;
Whereas the import levy on such mixtures results from their tariff classification, which is normally determined in accordance with the general rules for the interpretation of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas, in the case of mixtures of cereals, rice and broken rice, the tariff classification may give rise to difficulties if determined in accordance with these rules ; whereas in fact such classification sometimes results in a low import levy being charged on mixtures which, however, contain a substantial proportion of products subject to a high import levy;
Whereas, in order to avoid such difficulties, special provisions should be adopted for determining the import levy on mixtures of cereals, rice and broken rice,
