laying down the allocation coefficient to be applied to applications for import licences lodged under the import tariff quota opened by Council Regulation (EC) No 964/2007 for rice originating in least-developed countries

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,

The notification made in accordance with Article 4(a) of Regulation (EC) No 964/2007 shows that the applications lodged during the first seven days of September 2008 in accordance with Article 2(4) of that Regulation exceed the quantities available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined and the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities applied for should be laid down,
