Agricultural prices 1994/1995: derived intervention prices for white and raw sugar

1994/95 AGRICULTURAL PRICES: The purpose of this proposal was to amend the common organisation of the market in rice and to change the current definition of the term 'broken rice' in order to solve the problem of the presence of immature grains. The change became necessary after the Court of Justice judgment in Case 159/88. From now on the term 'broken rice' would cover only fragments less than 6 mm in length. In addition a new method designed to fix the percentage by weight of broken rice was proposed. Finally, as with cereals, it was proposed that in future, in order to reduce red tape, the premiums on the levies and corrective amounts to be applied to refunds should be published only where necessary.�
