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)(1), and in particular Article 139 thereof,
Whereas:

The import duty for semi-milled and wholly milled rice falling within CN code 1006 30 must therefore be adjusted.
(2) As the applicable duty must be fixed within 10 days of the end of the period mentioned above, this Regulation should come into force immediately,
