    COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1126/2009

    of 23 November 2009

    THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

    Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

    Having regard to Decision 2002/309/EC, Euratom of the Council and of the Commission as regards the Agreement on Scientific and Technological Cooperation of 4 April 2002 on the conclusion of seven Agreements with the Swiss Confederation (1), and in particular Article 5(3) first indent and Article 5(4) thereof,

    Whereas:

    (1)

    (2)

    Annex 2 to the Agreement, as amended, sets out the tariff concessions granted by the Community for imports of agricultural products originating in Switzerland.

In accordance with the Agreement the tariff quotas should be opened for the period from 1 January to 31 December.

    (4)

    Since Decision No 2/2008 of the Joint Committee on Agriculture enters into force on 1 January 2010, this Regulation should apply from the same date.

    (5)

    The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

    HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

    Article 1

    The tariff quotas for the products originating in Switzerland listed in the Annex shall be opened annually, and at the rates of customs duty indicated in that Annex.

    Article 2

    The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be managed by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.

    Article 3

    Regulation (EC) No 933/2002 is repealed.

    Article 4

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

    It shall apply from 1 January 2010.

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