    COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 926/2006

    of 22 June 2006

    amending Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards the import arrangements for milk and milk products and opening tariff quotas

    THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

    Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

    Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 29(1) thereof,

    Whereas:

    (1)

    Annex I.A to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 (2) sets out the tariff quotas not specified by country of origin to be imported by quota period.

    (2)

    Council Regulation (EC) No 267/2006 of 30 January 2006 concerning the implementation of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of letters between the European Community and Australia pursuant to Article XXIV:6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 relating to the modification of concessions in the schedules of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic in the course of their accession to the European Union, supplementing Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (3) provides for an additional allocation of butter and other fats and oils derived from milk under the annual import tariff quota.

    (3)

    Council Regulation (EC) No 711/2006 of 20 March 2006 concerning the implementation of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the United States of America pursuant to Article XXIV:6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 relating to the modification of concessions in the schedules of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic in the course of their accession to the European Union, amending and supplementing Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (4) provides for additional allocations to several quotas of cheeses under the annual import tariff quota.

    (4)

    It is therefore appropriate to adjust the concerned quota quantities referred to in Annex I.A to Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001.

    (5)

    Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.

    (6)

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

    HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

    Article 1

    Annex I.A to Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
