THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(2), and in particular Article 8(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The conditions governing the taking over of paddy rice by the intervention agencies are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 708/98(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 610/2001(4). Article 6(1) of that Regulation stipulates that delivery must take place by the end of the second month following receipt of the offer and in any case not later than 31 August of the current marketing year.
(2) As a result of the exceptionally large quantities of paddy rice currently offered for buying in, it is difficult for the intervention agencies to meet the time limit for the delivery of the products. Consequently, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1045/2003(5) provides for a derogation from the delivery deadline at the end of the second month. In addition, because of the technical difficulties caused by the recent heatwave conditions, there should also be a derogation, for the current 2002/2003 marketing year, from the time limit requiring delivery by 31 August.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Notwithstanding Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 708/98, the delivery of paddy rice for taking over by the intervention agency in respect of the 2002/2003 marketing year must take place no later than 30 September 2003.

Whereas Article 2 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2191/81 (5) and of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2192/81 (6), both as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 889/84 (7), specifies that the aid shall be converted into national currency at the representative rate obtaining on the first day of the calendar month for which the voucher is valid; whereas the representative rate and the amount of the aid were altered with effect from 2 April 1984, the date of the commencement of the 1984/85 milk year; whereas the use of the old rate, applicable on the first day of April to convert the amount of the aid into national currency would result in an abnormal drop for that month; whereas a derogation should therefore be introduced from the provision in question;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The following subparagraph is added to Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2191/81 and of Regulation (EEC) No 2192/81:
