of 25 October 2012
on the issue of licences for importing rice under the tariff quotas opened for the October 2012 subperiod by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011

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),
OJ L 299, 16.11.2007, p. 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, and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
OJ L 238, 1.9.2006, p. 13.
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 of 7 December 2011 opening and providing for the administration of certain tariff quotas for imports of rice and broken rice opened and provided for the administration of certain import tariff quotas for rice and broken rice, broken down by country of origin and split into several subperiods in accordance with Annex I to that Implementing Regulation.
OJ L 325, 8.12.2011, p. 6.
(2) October is the only subperiod for the quota with order number 09.4138 provided for under Article 1(1)(a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011. This quota comprises the balance of the unused quantities from the quotas with order numbers 09.4127 — 09.4128 — 09.4129 — 09.4130 in the previous subperiod. October is the last subperiod for the quotas provided for under Article 1(1)(b) and (e) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011, which comprise the balance of the unused quantities from the previous subperiod.
(3) The notifications sent in accordance with point (a) of Article 8 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 show that, for the quota with order number 09.4138, the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of October 2012 under Article 4(1) of that Implementing Regulation cover a quantity greater than that available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by fixing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantity requested under the quota concerned.
(4) The notifications also show that, for the quota with order number 09.4148, the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of October 2012 under Article 4(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 cover a quantity less than that available.
(5) The final percentage take-up for 2012 of each quota provided for by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 should also be made known.
(6) In order to ensure sound management of the procedure of issuing import licences, this Regulation should enter into force immediately after its publication,
