THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

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, and in particular Article 137 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Based on the information provided by the competent authorities, the Commission notes that import licences for husked rice falling within CN code 1006 20, other than import licences for basmati rice, were issued in respect of 438 104 tonnes for the period from 1 September 2010 to 31 August 2011. The import duty for husked rice falling within CN code 1006 20 other than basmati rice should therefore be adjusted.

The applicable duty must be fixed within 10 days of the end of the period mentioned above. This Regulation should therefore come into force immediately,
