Extract

The European Economic Community (hereafter referred to as EEC) market for rice has been undergoing significant reorganization since the formation of the economic union in 1957, and the initiation of the common agricultural policy in 1962 in general and the common rice policy in particular, which became effective September, 1964. The rice trade policies of the EEC have continually influenced the domestic consumption demand, production, exports and imports of rice. Although the proportion of the EEC imports of rice from the United States increased from 28 percent in the pre-common rice policy period to 41 percent in the post-common rice policy period, the effects of these policies on rice imports into the EEC continue to concern exporters of rice.
