Having regard to Council Regulation No 359/67/EEC of 25 July 1967 on the common organization of the market in rice (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 668/75 (2), and in particular Article 10 (2) thereof,

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
