COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1423/76  of 21 June 1976  determining standard qualities for rice and broken rice
THE COUNCIL 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), and in particular Articles 4 (5) and 15 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the target price for husked rice, the intervention price for paddy rice, and the threshold price for broken rice must correspond to specific standard qualities;
Whereas the standard qualities for which those prices are fixed should correspond as far as possible, as regards husked rice and paddy rice, to the average quality of round grain rice harvested in the Community and, as regards broken rice, to the average quality of broken rice usually obtained in the Community industry from home-grown rice;
Whereas, to that end, the norms of the most representative variety produced in the Community should be adopted as the standard qualities of rice, and the quality of broken rice most frequently found in intra-Community trade should be adopted as the standard quality for that product,
