|
(5) |
In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties. |
|
(6) |
Application of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 results in an adjustment of the import duties as set out in the Annexes to this Regulation, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The import duties in the rice sector referred to in Article 11(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 are fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information given in Annex II.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 13 May 2004.
