COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 415/2014

of 23 April 2014

amending and derogating from Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 as regards the management of the tariff quotas for dairy products originating in Ukraine

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 points (a) and (c) of Article 187 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) provides for preferential arrangements for 2014 as regards the customs duties for the import of certain goods originating in Ukraine. In accordance with Article 3 of that Regulation the agricultural products listed in Annex III thereto are to be admitted for import into the Union within the limits of the tariff quotas as set out in that Annex. The quotas referred to in Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 are to be administered by the Commission in accordance with Article 184(2)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.

(2)

Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 includes tariff quotas for milk and milk products. It is necessary to include those quotas in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 (3) and to insert in Article 19 of that Regulation a reference to the relevant rule on the proof of origin which is required to import under those quotas.

(3)

Since the quotas referred to in Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 are open only until 31 October 2014, the period of lodging import licence applications and the period of validity of import licences should be specified.

(4)

According to Article 10(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, importers approved in May 2013 can import under quotas only during the period from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014. As the quotas opened for Ukraine are exceptionally running over two consecutive six-months periods, approved importers could only import until 30 June 2014 whilst the concerned quotas are open until 31 October 2014. It is therefore appropriate to enable those importers to import under the quotas referred to in Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 until 31 October 2014.

(5)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1001/2013 (4), has replaced some CN codes in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (5) by new CN codes which now differ from those referred to in Regulation (EU) No 374/2014. The new CN codes should therefore be reflected in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001.

(6)

Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)

Since the quotas referred to in Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 are open only until 31 October 2014, this Regulation should enter into force as soon as possible.

(8)

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
