COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 999/90
of 20 April 1990
laying down detailed implementing rules for imports of rice originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP), and the overseas countries and territories (OCT)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 of 5 March 1990 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States or in the overseas and territories (OCT) (1), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June 1985 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1636/87 (3), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Monetary Committee,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 provides that the levy calcultated in accordance with Article 11 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1806/89 (5), shall be reduced by an amount of 50 % of the said levy and by a flat-rate component, which differs according to the extent to which the rice has been milled, provided that an equivalent charge has been collected on export from the non-member country concerned;
Whereas this export charge cannot be collected in a precise manner unless the levy that will be applied on import into the Community is known; whereas, for this purpose, the import levy must be fixed in advance, thereby enabling the trade to know the amount that will be deducted from the levy and, consequently, the amount that must be collected on export;
Whereas it is necessary to ascertain that the exporting country has actually collected the export charge of an amount equivalent to the reduction on the levy applied;
Whereas suitable administrative measures should be laid down in order to ensure that the volume of the quota fixed is not exceeded;
Whereas, in order to enable the Commission, should the need arise, to implement Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 715/90, it should be laid down that the Member States should notify the Commission daily of the quantities in respect of which applications for import licences in respect of rice originating in the ACP States and the overseas countries and territories (OCT) have been made;
Whereas for the year 1990, the quantities to be imported should be established pro rata with the quantities fixed respectively under the old and new regime by application of Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 715/90.
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
