Definitions

For the purposes of Annex XIV.5, Part A, the following definitions apply:

Completion and verification of the IMA 1 certificate

An IMA 1 certificate shall cover butter manufactured according to one product-purchasing specification in one plant. It may cover more than one cypher of the same product-purchasing specification from the same plant.

The IMA 1 certificate shall be considered to be duly completed and authenticated by an issuing body listed in Part A6, only if it contains all the following information:

A4 –   CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH AN IMA 1 CERTIFICATE OR PART THEREOF MAY BE CANCELLED, AMENDED, REPLACED OR CORRECTED

Cancellation of the IMA 1 certificate when full duty is due and paid for non-compliance with compositional requirements

Where full duty is paid on a lot because the maximum fat content requirement is not complied with, the corresponding IMA 1 certificate may be cancelled and the IMA 1 issuing body may add the quantities concerned to those for which IMA 1 certificates may be issued for the same quota year.

Product destroyed or rendered unfit for sale

IMA 1 issuing bodies may cancel an IMA 1 certificate or part thereof for a quantity covered by it which is destroyed or rendered unfit for sale in circumstances beyond the control of the exporter. Where part of the quantity covered by an IMA 1 certificate is destroyed or rendered unfit for sale, a replacement certificate may be issued for the remaining quantity. The replacement certificate shall be valid only up to the same date as the original. In this case, box 17 of the replacement IMA 1 certificate shall contain the words “valid up to 00.00.0000”.

Where all or part of the quantity covered by an IMA 1 certificate is destroyed or rendered unfit for sale due to circumstances beyond the exporters’ control, the IMA 1 issuing body may add these quantities to those for which IMA 1 certificates may be issued for the same quota year.

Change of Member State of destination

When the exporter is obliged to change the Member State of destination indicated on an IMA 1 certificate before a corresponding import licence is issued, the original IMA 1 certificate may be amended by the IMA 1 issuing body. Such an amended original IMA 1 certificate, duly authenticated and appropriately identified by the issuing body, may be presented to the licensing authority and to the customs authorities.

Clerical or technical error

When a clerical or technical error is discovered on an IMA 1 certificate before a corresponding import licence is issued, the original certificate may be corrected by the issuing body. Such a corrected original IMA 1 certificate may be presented to the licensing authority and to the customs authorities.

Exceptional circumstances when a product intended for import in a given year becomes unavailable

When, in exceptional circumstances beyond the control of the exporter, a product intended for import in a given year becomes unavailable and the only means of filling the quota, in the light of normal shipping time from the country of origin, is to replace it with a product originally intended for import the following year, the issuing body may issue a new IMA 1 certificate for the replacement quantity, between the sixth and the tenth calendar day after giving due notification to the Commission of the details of the IMA 1 certificate or part thereof to be cancelled for the year concerned and of the first IMA 1 certificate or part thereof issued for the following year to be cancelled.

If the Commission considers that this provision does not apply to the circumstances of the case concerned, it may object within seven calendar days, stating the reason for its objection. Where the quantity to be replaced is greater than that covered by the first IMA 1 certificate issued for the following year, the required quantity may be obtained by cancelling additional IMA 1 certificates, in sequence, or part thereof as necessary.

All quantities in respect of which IMA 1 certificates or part thereof have been cancelled for the year concerned shall be added to the quantities for which IMA 1 certificates may be issued for that quota year.

All quantities brought forward from the following quota year for which an IMA 1 certificate or certificates have been cancelled shall be added back to the quantities for which IMA 1 certificates may be issued for that quota year.

A5 –   RULES FOR COMPLETING IMA 1 CERTIFICATES

In addition to boxes 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 17 and 18 of the IMA 1 certificate, the following must be completed:
