COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/2179
of 13 December 2019
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 481/2012 as regards the country allocation of the tariff rate quota for high-quality beef and derogating from that Implementing Regulation for the quota year 2019/2020
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 187 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 481/2012 (2) lays down rules for the management of an autonomous tariff rate quota for the import of high-quality beef opened by Council Regulation (EC) No 617/2009 (3). |
(2) |
The European Union and the United States of America concluded an Agreement on the country allocation of the tariff rate quota for high-quality beef provided for by Regulation (EC) No 617/2009 (hereafter ‘the Agreement’) on 5 December 2019 (4). All substantial suppliers in the tariff rate quota agreed to the country allocation provided for by the Agreement. |
(3) |
Article 2(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 481/2012 sets out the rules for the addition of the unused balances of the drawings on the sub-tariff quotas to subsequent quarterly sub-tariff quotas. The Agreement provides that any unused quantities from the sub-periods preceding, in that quota year, the first day of the first year of the implementation period of the Agreement shall be added, in proportion to the shares in the overall volume of the tariff rate quota, to the quantities available in the first sub-period of the first year of the implementation period. Consequently, a derogation from Article 2(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 481/2012 should be provided for the distribution of the unused quantities from the sub-periods preceding the first day of the first year of the implementation period of the Agreement. |
(4) |
It is therefore necessary to amend Implementing Regulation (EU) No 481/2012 in the light of the Agreement. |
(5) |
Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 481/2012 provides that the tariff quota is to be managed in accordance with Articles 308a and 308b and Article 308c(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (5). Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 was repealed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/481 (6) with effect from 1 May 2016. For the sake of clarity, references to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should be replaced by references to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 (7). |
(6) |
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 481/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(7) |
This Regulation should apply from the date of entry into force of the Agreement. This Regulation should therefore enter into force as a matter of urgency. |
(8) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 481/2012
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 481/2012 is amended as follows:
(1) |
in Article 1, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following: ‘1. This Regulation lays down rules for the management of an annual Union tariff quota for high-quality beef provided for in Regulation (EC) No 617/2009, hereinafter referred to as “the tariff quota”. The tariff quota period, country of origin, volume and duty are set out in Annex I to this Regulation.’; |
(2) |
in Article 2, paragraphs 1 and 2 are replaced by the following: ‘1. The tariff quota shall be managed on a first-come, first-served basis in accordance with Articles 49 to 52 and Article 53(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 (*1). No import licences shall be required. 2. The tariff quota shall be managed as a parent tariff quota with a volume of 45 000 metric tonnes under order number 09.2201 with:
The benefit from the tariff quota can be granted only by applying for order numbers 09.2202 and 09.2203 referring to the sub-tariff quotas. (*1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 of 24 November 2015 laying down detailed rules for implementing certain provisions of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the Union Customs Code (OJ L 343, 29.12.2015, p. 558).’;" |
(3) |
Annex I is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation. |
