The standard quality of paddy rice for which the intervention price  is fixed shall be defined as follows:
(a) rice of a sound and fair marketable quality, free of odour;
(b) moisture content: 14 % in 1996/97 and 13 % from 1997/98 onwards;
(c) yield of wholly milled rice 63 % by weight in whole grains (with a tolerance of 3 % of clipped  grains) of which a percentage by weight of wholly milled rice grains which are not of unimpaired  quality:
