amending Regulation (EC) No 647/2006 on the issue of rice import licences for applications lodged in the first 10 working days of April 2006 under Regulation (EC) No 327/98

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the markets in the rice sector^f1,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 327/98 of 10 February 1998 opening and providing for the administration of certain tariff quotas for imports of rice and broken rice^f2, and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 647/2006^f3 sets the reduction percentages to apply to the quantities for April 2006 and the quantities carried over to July 2006 for the quota of semi-milled or milled rice under the CN code 1006 30.

(2)

Following an administrative error made by a Member State, the quantity of quota 09.4128 to be carried over to July 2006 does not correspond to the actual quantity carried over.

(3)

Regulation (EC) No 647/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
