Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat (1), and in particular Article 11(1) thereof,
Whereas:

The Agreement between the European Community and the Government of Canada on the conclusion of GATT Article XXIV:6 Negotiations (2), approved by Council Decision 2007/444/EC (3), provides for the incorporation of a country allocated (Canada) import tariff rate quota of 4 624 tonnes of pigmeat. |

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. |
(7) |
The release into free circulation of the products imported under the quota opened by this Regulation should be subject to the presentation of a certificate of origin issued by the Canadian authorities in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (6). |
