COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1335/2014

of 16 December 2014

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 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 1101/2014 (2) provides for amendments in CN codes for dairy products of Chapter 4 with effect from 1 January 2015.

(2)	Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 (3) lays down detailed rules as regards the import arrangements for milk and milk products and opening tariff quotas. To reflect amendments in CN codes for dairy products, it is necessary to update Annexes I, II and VIIa to that Regulation.

(3)

Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 refers to CN codes which are deleted with effect from 1 January 2015. Moreover, Annex 3, relating to concessions regarding cheeses, to the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products (4), approved by Decision 2002/309/EC, Euratom of the Council and of the Commission (5), provides for the full liberalisation of the bilateral trade in cheeses as from 2007. That provision is therefore obsolete and should be deleted.

(4)

Article 19a(1)(c) and (4)(c) relating to Part 3 of Annex VIIa to Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 and Article 20(1)(a)(ii) relating to Part C of Annex II to that Regulation concern respectively a cheese tariff quota and preferential imports in application of the Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of South Africa, of the other part (6), approved by Council Decision 2004/441/EC (7). Those provisions refer to CN codes which are deleted with effect from 1 January 2015. Since the corresponding quota period and import duty elimination period have expired, it is appropriate to delete those provisions.

(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 Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 is amended as follows:

(1)	In Article 4, paragraph 2 is deleted;

(2)	In Article 19a, paragraphs 1(c) and 4(c) are deleted;

(3)	In Article 20, paragraph (1)(a)(ii) is deleted;

(4)	Annex I is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation;

(5)

Annex II is amended as follows:

(a)	Part B is replaced by the text in Annex II to this Regulation;

(b)	Part C is deleted;

(6)

Annex VIIa is amended as follows:

(a)	Part 3 is deleted;

(b)	Part 4 is replaced by the text in Annex III to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

It shall apply from 1 January 2015.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 16 December 2014.
