    COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/675

    of 29 April 2019

    amending Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for common wheat of a quality other than high quality from third countries

    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 point (a) of the first paragraph of Article 187 thereof,

    Whereas:

    (1)

    Article 2(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 (2) provides for the opening of an overall tariff quota for the import of 3 073 177 tonnes of common wheat falling under CN code 1001 99 00 of a quality other than high quality, at a duty rate of EUR 12 per tonne.

    (2)

    Within the overall tariff quota, Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 provides for a subquota of 2 378 387 tonnes for third countries, except Canada and the United States of America, as well as for a subquota erga omnes of 122 790 tonnes.

    (3)

    In the context of the Agreement with the United States in the framework of Article XXIV:6 GATT pursuant the European Union enlargement of 2004 (3), it was however agreed to take into account, within the subquota erga omnes, a volume of 6 787 tonnes. Therefore, 6 787 tonnes are to be added to the subquota erga omnes while the same quantity is to be deducted from the subquota for third countries, except Canada and the United States of America.

    (4)

    On the basis of Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008, the subquota for third countries, except Canada and the United States of America, is to be divided into four quarterly subperiods. Taking into account the abovementioned reduction of the quantity for that subquota, it is needed to adapt the volume of each quarterly subperiod.

    (5)

    Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

    (6)

    The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

    HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

    Article 1

    Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 is amended as follows:

    (1)

    paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:

    (b)

    subquota II (order number 09.4125): 2 371 600 tonnes for third countries, except Canada and the United States of America;

    (c)

    subquota III (order number 09.4133): 129 577 tonnes for erga omnes.’;

    (2)

    paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:

    ‘3.   Subquota II shall be divided into four quarterly subperiods, covering the following dates and quantities:

    (a)

    (d)

    subperiod 4: 1 October to 31 December: 592 900 tonnes.’

    Article 2
