30. 6. 95 Official Journal of the European Communities No L 147/13 COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1502/95 of 29 June 1995 on rules of application (cereal sector import duties 1995/96 marketing year) for Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 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 common organization of the market in cereals ('), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (%), and in particular Article 10 (4) thereof, Whereas Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides for the common customs tariff duties to be charged when the products listed in Article 1 thereof are imported ; whereas however for the products listed in paragraph 2 of that Article the import duty is to be the intervention price valid at the time of importation increased by 55 % and then reduced by the c1f import price applicable to the consignment; Whereas for the purposes of grading imported lots the products covered by Article 10 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 are in certain cases to be classed in several stan- dard qualities ; whereas the standard qualities to be used should therefore be determined using objective grading criteria and tolerance rates should also be set allowing products to be imported to be given the most appropriate quality grading ; whereas of the possible objective quality grading criteria for common wheat protein content; specific weight and miscellaneous impurity (Schwarzbe- satz) content and those most commonly used in the trade and also the easiest to use; whereas for durum wheat these criteria are specific weight, miscellaneous impurity (Schwarzbesatz) content and vitreous grain content; whereas imported goods are accordingly to be subjected to analysis to determine these parameters for each lot imported ; whereas however where the Community has established an official recognition procedure for quality certificates issued by an authority of the country of origin of the goods these analyses need be effected merely by way of verification on a sufficiently representative number of imported lots ; () OJ No L 181, 1. 7. 1992, p. 1. @ OJ No L 349, 31. 12. 1994, p. 105. Whereas Article 10 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 specifies that for the purposes of calculation of the import duty representative cif import prices are to be regularly established for each of the qualities defined for the products to which that paragraph refers ; whereas for es- tablishment of these prices the use must be stipulated of quotations for the several wheat qualities and for the other cereals ; whereas the actual quotation sources to be used should be specified ; Whereas the use of quotations for the various wheat types and for other cereals on the commodity exchanges of the United States of America will provide a basis both trans- parent and objective for establishing representative cif import prices; whereas addition of the commercial premium assigned on the United States market to each quality of the various cereals will allow the exchange quotation for each cereal to be converted into an fob export price from the United States ; whereas by addition of sea freight costs between the Gulf of Mexico or the Great Lakes and a Community port that are quoted on the freight markets these fob prices can be converted into representative cif import prices; whereas given the volume of freight passing through and amount of trade at the port of Rotterdam this is the Community destination for which sea freight quotations are most widely known, most transparent and most easily available ; whereas the port of destination to be selected for the Community should therefore be Rotterdam ; Whereas accordingly for the sake of transparency the representative cif import prices of the cereals indicated at (2) in Article 10 (3) are to be established from commodity exchange quotations for the cereal in question plus the commercial premium assigned to the cereal and sea freight costs between the Gulf of Mexico or the Great Lakes and the port of Rotterdam; whereas however freight cost differences by port of destination justify flat rate adjustment of the import duty for Community ports located in the Mediterranean, on the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula and in the United Kingdom, Ireland and the Scandinavian countries ; whereas the factors of calculation of the representative cif import prices so esta- blished should be monitored daily so that the trend of these prices can be followed ; whereas the representative cif import price is calculated for the market situation for sorghum and for rye to allow it to be used for these cereals ;
