REGULATION (EEC) NO 3103/74 OF THE COMMISSION
of 10 December 1974
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1579/74 as regards the advance fixing of the import levy on products processed from cereals or from rice
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation No 120/67/EEC (1) of 13 June 1967 on the common organization of the market in cereals, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1996/74 (2), and in particular Articles 15(3) and 24 thereof;
Having regard to 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 1129/74 (4), and in particular Articles 13(3) and 25 thereof;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1052/68 (5) of 23 July 1968 on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 881/73 (6), and in particular Articles 2(2) and 5 thereof;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1579/74 (7) of 24 June 1974 on the procedure for calculating the import levy on products processed from cereals and from rice and for the advance fixing of this levy for these products and for compound feedingstuffs manufactured from cereals, provides that where the import levy on products processed from cereals or from rice or on compound feedingstuffs manufactured from cereals is fixed in advance, such levy is to be adjusted in relation to the threshold price operative on the day of importation;
Whereas, in the case of starch products, the production refund included in the import levy already reflects variations in the threshold price; whereas the import levy on the products referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1579/74 should therefore be adjusted only in relation to any change in the amounts provided for in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1132/74 (8) of 29 April 1974 on production refunds in the cereals and rice sectors;
Whereas it should be specified that the levy on compound feedingstuffs falling within subheading 23.07 B which contain milk products must, if the levy is fixed in advance, be adjusted in relation to the threshold prices both for maize and for skimmed-milk powder which are operative on the day of importation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
