,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (1), and in particular Article 10(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Articles 11a and 11c of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 lay down the mechanisms for calculating and periodically fixing the duties applicable to imports of husked rice falling within CN code 1006 20 and wholly milled rice and semi-milled rice falling within CN code 1006 30.
(2) In order to prevent the operation of those mechanisms being disrupted by improper import licence applications, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 (2) should set the security for import licences for husked rice, wholly milled rice and semi-milled rice at a sufficiently high level.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 should therefore be amended.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
