Article 48 U.K. Reduction coefficient

1. Where the quantities covered by aid applications for a given product exceed the volume laid down in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001 or, in the case of melons falling within CN code ex 0807 10 90 and pineapples falling within CN code 0804 30 00, the limit laid down in paragraph 6 of that Article or the limits laid down in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1454/2001, the competent authorities shall determine a standard percentage reduction to be applied to all aid applications.

2. For rice from French Guiana:

(a) if necessary, the competent French authorities shall fix a standard reduction coefficient to be applied to the applications concerned to ensure that the quantity for which aid is granted each year, expressed in terms of milled rice equivalent, does not exceed 12 000 tonnes for all quantities covered by applications and, within that ceiling, that the quantities disposed of elsewhere in the Community outside Guadeloupe and Martinique do not exceed 4 000 tonnes;

(b) the standard reduction coefficient shall be calculated as follows:

(i)

where the total quantity covered by aid applications is less than 12 000 tonnes but the quantity of rice disposed of or marketed elsewhere in the Community outside Guadeloupe and Martinique exceeds the maximum volume of 4 000 tonnes, the coefficient i obtained from the following formula shall be applied to the latter quantities only:

where:

x

=

the quantity of rice from French Guiana actually disposed of and marketed elsewhere in the Community outside Martinique and Guadeloupe;

(ii)

where the total quantity covered by aid applications exceeds 12 000 tonnes but the quantity of rice disposed of or marketed elsewhere in the Community outside Guadeloupe and Martinique is less the maximum volume of 4 000 tonnes, the coefficient j obtained from the following formula shall be applied to all quantities:

where:

y

=

the total quantity of rice from French Guiana covered by aid applications;

(iii)

where the total quantity covered by aid applications exceeds 12 000 tonnes and the quantity of rice disposed of or marketed elsewhere in the Community outside Guadeloupe and Martinique exceeds the maximum volume of 4 000 tonnes, the coefficient z obtained from the following formula shall be applied:

where:

x

=

the quantity of rice from French Guiana actually disposed of and marketed elsewhere in the Community outside Martinique and Guadeloupe;

i

=

the reduction coefficient to be applied to aid applications for the quantity of rice from French Guiana actually disposed of and marketed elsewhere in the Community other than in Martinique and Guadeloupe referred to at (i),

k

=

the quantity of rice from French Guiana actually disposed of and marketed in Martinique and Guadeloupe.

The competent French authorities shall immediately notify the Commission when this paragraph is applied, and of the quantities involved;

(c) aid shall be paid for quantities actually disposed of and marketed under an annual contract or contracts in accordance with the applicable provisions;

(d) for the purposes of this Article, the coefficient for the processing of:

• (d) paddy rice into wholly-milled rice is fixed at 0,45,

• husked rice into wholly-milled rice is fixed at 0,69,

• semi-milled rice into wholly-milled rice is fixed at 0,93.
