where the milling yield of the rice differs from the basic milling yield for the variety concerned as set out in Part A of Annex III to this Regulation, the price increases and reductions to be applied shall be those shown in Table 1 below, in respect of each variety of rice;
Reductions and increases relating to the milling yield of rice
| Yield of whole-grain milled paddy rice | Price increases and reductions per yield point |
|---|---|
| Above the basic yield | 0,75 % increase |
| Below the basic yield | 1 % reduction |
| Overall yield of milled paddy rice | Price increases and reductions per yield point |
|---|---|
| Above the basic yield | 0,60 % increase |
| Below the basic yield | 0,80 % reduction |
where the defects in the grains of paddy rice exceed the permitted tolerances for the standard quality of paddy rice, the percentage reduction to be applied to the intervention price shall be as set out in Table 2 below, per type of rice;

| Grain defects | Percentage of defective grains resulting in a reduction in the intervention price | Percentage reductiona applicable to the additional discrepancy beyond the lower limit | ||

| Chalky grains | from 2 to 6 % | from 2 to 4 % | from 1,5 % to 4 % | 1 % for each additional 0,5 % discrepancy |
| Grains striated with red | from 1 % to 10 % | from 1 % to 5 % | from 1 % to 5 % | 1 % for each additional 1 % discrepancy |
| Spotted and stained grains | from 0,50 % to 4 % | from 0,50 % to 2,75 % | from 0,50 % to 2,75 % | 0,8 % for each additional 0,25 % discrepancy |
| Amber grains | from 0,05 % to 1 % | from 0,05 % to 0,50 % | from 0,05 % to 0,50 % | 1,25 % for each additional 0,25 % discrepancy |
| Yellow grains | from 0,02 % to 0,175 % | from 0,02 % to 0,175 % | from 0,02 % to 0,175 % | 6 % for each additional 0,125 % discrepancy |
where the moisture content of the paddy rice exceeds 13 %, the percentage reduction in its intervention price shall be equal to the difference between the percentage moisture content of the paddy rice offered for intervention, measured to one decimal point, and 13 %;
where the percentage of miscellaneous impurities in the paddy rice exceeds 0,1 %, it shall be bought in with a reduction in the intervention price of 0,02 % for each additional 0,01 % difference;
where a batch of paddy rice is offered for intervention for a particular variety but includes grains of other varieties exceeding 3 %, the batch shall be bought in with a 0,1 % reduction in the intervention price for each additional 0,1 % difference.
