THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1863/95 (2), and in particular Article 12 (4) thereof,

Whereas the Community has guaranteed Thailand access to the Community market for 21 000 000 tonnes of the products falling within CN codes 0714 10 10, 0714 10 91 and 0714 10 99 for a period of four years and for an annual maximum of 5 500 000 tonnes; whereas to this end Commission Regulation (EC) No 1567/95 (4) opens a tariff quota for the second half of 1995;
