THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined and the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities applied for should be fixed. |
(4) |
No further import licences should be issued under subquota IV as referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 for the current quota period. |
(5) |

1. Each import licence application under subquota IV referred to in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 and lodged from 1 to 6 January 2012 at 13.00 (Brussels time) shall give rise to the issue of a licence for the quantities applied for, multiplied by an allocation coefficient of 2,484571 %.
2. The issue of licences for the quantities applied for from 6 January 2012 at 13.00 (Brussels time) falling within subquota IV as referred to in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 is hereby suspended for the current quota period.
