    COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1154/2009

    of 27 November 2009

    amending Council Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 as regards Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and processed agricultural products originating in Israel

    THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

    Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

    Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 of 9 April 2001 providing for the management of Community tariff quotas and of reference quantities for products eligible for preferences by virtue of agreements with certain Mediterranean countries and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1981/94 and (EC) No 934/95 (1) and in particular Article 5(1)(b) thereof,

    Whereas:

    (1)

    In 2008 an Agreement was concluded in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the State of Israel concerning reciprocal liberalisation measures on agricultural products, processed agricultural products and fish and fishery products, the replacement of Protocols 1 and 2 and their annexes and amendments to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the State of Israel, of the other part, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’, which was approved by Council Decision 2009/855/EC (2).

    (2)

    The Agreement provides for new tariff quotas for agricultural and processed agricultural products originating in Israel and changes to the existing tariff quotas laid down for such products in Regulation (EC) No 747/2001. In addition, it no longer provides for any tariff concessions granted within reference quantities.

    (3)

    To implement the provisions on the new tariff quotas, the changes to the existing tariff quotas and the ending of reference quantities, Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 should be amended accordingly.

    (4)

    For the purpose of calculating the tariff quotas for the first year of application, provision should be made, in accordance with the Agreement, for the volumes of the tariff quotas for which the quota period starts before the date of entry into force of the Agreement to be reduced by the proportion of that period which has elapsed before that date.

    (5)

    Since the Agreement enters into force on 1 January 2010, this Regulation should apply from that date.

    (6)

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

    HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

    Article 1

    Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

    Article 2

    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.

    Done at Brussels, 27 November 2009.
