COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2088/2004
of 7 December 2004
amending Regulation (EC) No 2497/2001 and Commission (EC) No 2597/2001 as regards tariff quotas for certain fish and fishery products originating in Croatia and for certain wines originating in Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Slovenia
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic and the adjustments to the Treaties on which the European Union is founded (1), and in particular Article 57(2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2248/2001 of 19 November 2001 on certain procedures for applying the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Croatia, of the other part and for applying the Interim Agreement between the European Community and the Republic of Croatia (2) and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 153/2002 of 21 January 2002 on certain procedures for applying the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, of the other part, and for applying the Interim Agreement between the European Community and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
By its Decision 2004/778/EC of 11 October 2004 (4) the Council has concluded a Protocol to the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Croatia, of the other part, to take account of the accession of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia, and the Slovak Republic to the European Union, hereinafter ‘the enlargement Protocol’. The enlargement Protocol applies on a provisional basis with effect from 1 May 2004. |
(2) |
By its Decision of 22 November 2004 (5) the Council has authorised for the signing and has provided for the provisional application from 1 May 2004 of a Protocol to the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, of the other part, to take account of the accession of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia, and the Slovak Republic to the European Union, hereinafter ‘the enlargement Protocol’. |
(3) |
Both enlargement protocols provide for new tariff quotas and for changes to the existing tariff quotas laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2497/2001 of 19 December 2001 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain fish and fishery products originating in the Republic of Croatia (6) and in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2597/2001 of 28 December 2001 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain wines originating in the Republic of Croatia, in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and in the Republic of Slovenia (7). |
(4) |
To implement the new tariff quotas and the changes to existing tariff quotas provided in the enlargement protocols, it is necessary to amend Regulation (EC) No 2497/2001 and Regulation (EC) No 2597/2001. |
(5) |
For the year 2004 the volumes of the new tariff quotas and the increases of the volumes of existing tariff quotas should be calculated as a pro rata of the basic volumes specified in the enlargement protocols, taking into account the part of the period elapsed before 1 May 2004. |
(6) |
In order to facilitate the management of certain existing tariff quotas provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2497/2001 and in Regulation (EC) No 2597/2001, the quantities imported within the framework of those quotas should be taken into account for charging on the tariff quotas opened in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2497/2001 and Regulation (EC) No 2597/2001, as amended by this Regulation. |
(7) |
After the accession of Slovenia to the European Union, the tariff quotas for wines originating in that Member State as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2597/2001 should lapse. The references to those quotas should therefore be deleted. |
(8) |
Since the enlargement protocols apply from 1 May 2004, this Regulation should apply from the same date and should enter into force as soon as possible. |
(9) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
