COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1714/91 of 13 June 1991 fixing the amount of the production aid for certain varieties of rice sown in the 1991/92 marketing year

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the market in rice (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1806/89 (2), and in particular Article 8 (a) (3) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),

Whereas the objective of the production aid is to encourage varietal conversion of rice production to certain types of rice for which greater demand exists on the Community market; whereas the varieties for which demand exists normally have lower crop yields than those of the varieties that are traditionaly grown;

Whereas the production aid should be fixed at a level that, while reflecting the smaller return resulting from the lower

yields of the varieties in question, will secure development of production in line with actual possibilities for disposal;

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3878/87 of 18 December 1987 on the production aid for certain varieties of rice (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 832/90 (7), determines in particular the areas of the Community which may benefit from the aid,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article2¶

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply from 1 September 1991.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Luxembourg, 13 June 1991.

For the Council

The President
