COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2293/82
of 19 August 1982
amending and supplementing Regulation (EEC) No 1603/79 laying down rules for payment of a premium to producers of potato starch
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1451/82 (2),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2742/75 of 29 October 1975 on production refunds in the cereals and rice sectors (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1460/82 (4), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas in Regulation (EEC) No 2125/82 (5), the most recent Regulation amending Regulation (EEC) No 1603/79 (6), the Annex to that Regulation was supplemented by more detailed scales based on a more precise determination of the starch content of potatoes;
Whereas experience has shown that the starch content of potatoes cannot be determined so precisely employing one of the two methods used in the Community; whereas, therefore, the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1603/79 should be amended and appropriate measures provided to prevent any disadvantages which might result for potato starch producers;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EEC) No 1603/79 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
1. the Annex shall be replaced by the Annex hereto;
2. the following subparagraph shall be added to Article 3:
'Where the starch content of potatoes is calculated by Reimann's or Perow's weight and corresponds to a figure which appears on two or three lines in the second column of the Annex, the scales applicable shall be those corresponding to the second or to the third line.'
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 19 August 1982.
