129Second, the Netherlands Government alleges a violation of Article 109(2) of the OCT Decision in that the amount of the guarantee requested of Antillean importers under Article 3(4) of Regulation No 304/97 renders inapplicable Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 of 23 May 1995 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (OJ 1995 L 117, p. 2). The amount of the guarantee applicable to imports of rice originating in the OCTs — which is the same as the customs duties applicable to third countries — is disproportionate to the objective pursued by the OCT Decision.
