The Commission adopted a proposal for reforming the common market organisation for rice on 7.6.00. The objective is to restore balance on the European rice market and to make Community rice-growing more competitive by increasing direct payments to producers and abolishing the intervention mechanism (in favour of private storage). The proposal also aims to ensure that rice-growing continues in areas where it is beneficial for the environment. The reform should enter into force from the 2001/02 marketing year.
