Council Regulation (EC) No 1355/2007 (2) provides for the opening of an autonomous and transitional Community quota for the import of 1 900 tonnes of sausages and certain meat products originating from Switzerland. |
(2) |
In order to ensure that quota benefit is available until the entry into force of the adaptation of the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products (3) approved by Council and Commission Decision 2002/309/EC, Euratom (4) (hereafter referred to as the Agreement), it is appropriate to open the tariff quotas on an autonomous and transitional basis from 1 January 2008 until 31 December 2009. |
(3) |
To be eligible for the benefit of those tariff quotas, products should originate in Switzerland in conformity with the rules referred to in Article 4 of the Agreement. |
(4) |

In any case, Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 limits the period of validity of licences to the last day of the import tariff quota period. |
(7) |
In the interest of the operators it should be provided that the Commission determines the quantities not applied for that will be added to the next subperiod. |
(8) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat, |
