COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 467/2008

of 28 May 2008

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 26(3) and Article 29(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 55/2008 of 21 January 2008 introducing autonomous trade preferences for the Republic of Moldova and amending Regulation (EC) No 980/2005 and Commission Decision 2005/924/EC (2) provides for a tariff quota for dairy products. That tariff quota should be managed in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 (3).

(2)

Article 26 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 of 20 December 2007 applying the arrangements for products originating in certain States which are part of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) group of States provided for in agreements establishing, or leading to the establishment of, Economic Partnership Agreements (4) has repealed Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002 of 10 December 2002 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1706/98 (5). Relevant adaptations should be made in Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001.

(3)

The Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation between the European Community and its Member States (TDCA), of the one part, and the Republic of South Africa, of the other part, approved by Council Decision 2004/441/EC (6) entered into force on 1 May 2004. That Agreement provides for cheese quotas to be opened by both parties on a yearly base. In the context of negotiations on accelerated trade liberalisation of cheeses between the European Community and South Africa, it has been convened that the cheese quotas by both parties should be managed on a ‘first come, first served’ basis, in accordance with Articles 308a to 308c(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (7).
