COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1260/78  of 12 June 1978  amending Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 as regards the procedure for fixing the threshold price for round grain husked rice and for 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),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas, pursuant to Articles 14 (4) and 15 (3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the market in rice (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1126/78 (4), the threshold prices for round grain husked rice and broken rice are fixed by the Council acting on a proposal from the Commission;
Whereas the threshold price for round grain husked rice is fixed by deducting from the target price the cost of transport between Rotterdam and Duisburg, the cost of unloading and a trading margin ; whereas the threshold price for broken rice is fixed at between 130 and 140 % of the threshold price for maize ; whereas, since these threshold prices are only derived prices and the derivation factors are technical in the case of husked rice and already determined by the Council in the case of broken rice, the prices should be fixed by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76,
