Whereas the classification of rice was amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3877/87 (4); whereas Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (5) was accordingly amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3174/88 (6); wheresas the CN codes in Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1219/89 (8), should therefore be updated;
Whereas Article 11a of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 lays down measures derogating from the levy arrangements provided for in Article 11 of that Regulation and in particular the collection of a levy on imports of milled rice, reduced to the amount for the protection of the industry is insufficient to ensure the competitiveness of the Réunion rice industry; whereas the arrangements for imports of milled rice into Réunion should be amended as regards the collection of the levy;
Whereas the subsidy arrangements provided for in Article 11 a (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 do not permit direct control of the trend in the amount of the subsidy on the basis of the prices or quotations on the Community market; whereas periodical fixing of the subsidy would permit the amount to be adapted more closely to the requirements of the Community market on the one hand and to the supply requirements of the Réunion market on the other hand,
