COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 795/94 of 8 April 1994 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1621/93 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 regarding the system for fixing the import levies for cereals

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2193/93 (2), and in particular Articles 10, 11 and 12 thereof,

Whereas Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1621/93 (3) provides for a fluctuation of ECU 1 before the levy is amended; whereas, to guarantee a greater stability of the levy amount, that amount should be increased to ECU 1,50 per tonne;

Whereas Article 1 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1621/93 provides for the application of coefficients of equivalence to compensate for deviations in quality from the standard quality for which the threshold price is fixed;

Whereas yellow/white millet from China and 'Bullrush' millet from east Africa (Sudan, Tanzania, Kenya) have been on offer on the world market for some time and these varieties are not listed in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 1621/93;

Whereas, with a view to determining caf prices, it is necessary to fix coefficients of equivalence for those qualities taking into account the standard Community qualities for millet on the one hand, and the difference in price and characteristics between those qualities and the qualities listed in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 1621/93 on the other;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
