amending Regulation (EC) No 573/2003 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Decision 2003/18/EC as regards the concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas on certain cereal products originating in Romania and amending Regulation (EC) No 2809/2000

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Decision 2003/18/EC of 19 December 2002 on the conclusion of a Protocol adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Romania, of the other part, to take account of the outcome of negotiations between the parties on new mutual agricultural concessions (1), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Decision 2003/18/EC, the Community has undertaken to establish for each marketing year import tariff quotas at a zero rate of duty for wheat and meslin and maize originating in Romania.

(2)

In the light of the experience gained in applying Commission Regulation (EC) No 573/2003 (2), certain provisions of that Regulation should be clarified and simplified.

(3)

In order to ensure that the actual quantities being requested by individual traders may be verified, it is necessary to specify that traders must submit only one import licence application per period concerned, and to provide for a penalty in the event of a failure to meet this requirement.

(4)

Regulation (EC) No 573/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(5)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
