Article 6

In the context of random checks or checks targeted at operations entailing a risk of fraud, Member States shall take representative samples of imported Basmati rice as laid down in Article 242 of Regulation (EC) No 2454/93. The samples shall be sent to the competent body in the country of origin, as listed in Annex V, for a DNA-based variety test.

The Member States may also carry out variety tests on the same sample in a Community laboratory.

If the results of one of the tests referred to in paragraph 1 show that the product analysed does not correspond to what is indicated on the authenticity certificate, the import duty on husked rice falling within CN code 1006 20 , provided for in Article 11a of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003, shall apply.

▼M2

However, the presence up to 5 % of husked rice falling within CN code 1006 20 17 or CN code 1006 20 98 not corresponding to any of the varieties listed in Annex XVIII to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 ( 11 ) shall be accepted.

▼B

If the tests referred to in paragraph 1 or other information available to the Commission indicate a serious and lasting problem as regards the control procedures applied by a competent body in the country of origin, the Commission may contact the competent authorities in the country concerned. If such contacts fail to yield a satisfactory solution, the Commission may decide to apply the rate of import duty for husked rice falling within CN code 1006 20 , provided for in Article 11a of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 to the imports checked by the body in question, based on Article 11b of the said Regulation and under the conditions laid down therein.

Article 7

The rice market shall be considered to be disturbed when, inter alia, a substantial increase in Basmati rice imports is noted for one quarter of the year relative to the previous quarter and there is no satisfactory explanation.

If a disturbance of the rice market persists and if the Commission's consultations of the exporting countries concerned fail to yield a satisfactory solution, the import duty on husked rice falling within CN code 1006 20 , provided for in Article 11a of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003, may also be applied to imports of Basmati rice, by Commission Decision, on the basis of Article 11b of the said Regulation and subject to the conditions laid down in therein.

Article 8

The Commission shall keep Annexes II and V up to date.

Article 9

Authenticity certificates and import licences for Basmati rice issued prior to 1 July 2006 under Regulation (EC) No 1549/2004 shall remain valid and products imported under such licences shall be eligible for the import duty provided for in Article 11a of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003.

Article 10

Regulation (EC) No 1549/2004 is hereby repealed.

All references to Articles 2 to 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1549/2004 and Annexes II to VI thereto shall be read as references to Articles 2 to 8 of this Regulation and Annexes I to V hereto.

All references to Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1549/2004 shall be read as references to Annex IIIa to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003.
