         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 498/2012
   of 12 June 2012
   on the allocation of tariff-rate quotas applying to exports of wood from the Russian Federation to the European Union
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Decision 2012/105/EU of 14 December 2011 on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, and provisional application of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and the Russian Federation relating to the administration of tariff-rate quotas applying to exports of wood from the Russian Federation to the European Union and the Protocol between the European Union and the Government of the Russian Federation on technical modalities pursuant to that Agreement (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Considering the economic importance for the European Union of imports of raw wood and the importance that the Russian Federation has for the Union as a supplier of raw wood, the Commission has negotiated with the Russian Federation commitments by the Russian Federation to reduce or eliminate its currently applied export duties, including on raw wood.

               (2)

               These commitments, which will become part of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Schedule of Concessions of the Russian Federation upon its accession to the WTO, include tariff-rate quotas for the export of specified types of coniferous wood, a share of which has been allocated for exports to the Union.

               (3)

               In the context of the negotiations regarding the accession of the Russian Federation to the WTO, the Commission has negotiated, on behalf of the Union, with the Russian Federation, an agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters relating to the administration of those tariff-rate quotas applying to exports of certain coniferous wood from the Russian Federation to the Union (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’).

               (4)

               As provided for in the Agreement, the Union and the Russian Federation have negotiated detailed technical modalities on the management of the tariff-rate quotas, which are contained in an agreement in the form of a Protocol negotiated between the Union and the Government of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Protocol’).

               (5)

               In implementation of the Agreement and the Protocol, methods for allocating tariff quotas depending on the date of submission of applications by importers should be established and rules and methods for establishing rights of traditional importers for each quota period and for each product group should be laid down.

               (6)

               Rules on business continuity for the determination of whether an importer claiming status of traditional importer is the same natural or juridical person that imported the covered products during the reference periods specified in this Regulation should be laid down.

               (7)

               Rules and procedures related to unused quota authorisations should be laid down.

               (8)

               Transitional rules applicable during the first three quota periods of application of this Regulation should be established in connection with the choice of reference periods for the calculation of ceilings of quota authorisations for traditional importers.

               (9)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Wood Committee established by Decision 2012/105/EU,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   CHAPTER 1

      SCOPE AND DEFINITIONS

   Article 1
   This Regulation lays down detailed rules on the allocation of quota authorisations in accordance with Article 5(2) of the Protocol, and establishes other provisions necessary for the management by the Union of the quantities of the tariff-rate quotas allocated to exports to the Union in implementation of the Agreement and the Protocol.
   Article 2
   For the purposes of this Regulation the definitions set out in Article 1(3), Article 2 and Article 5(3) and (4) of the Protocol shall apply.
   In addition, the following definition shall apply: ‘product group’ means each of the two categories of covered products according to the classification of such products under the tariff and statistical nomenclature applied in the Russian Federation, namely spruce (tariff lines 4403 20 110 and 4403 20 190) and pine (tariff lines 4403 20 310 and 4403 20 390). The relevant tariff codes applied in the Russian Federation and corresponding Combined Nomenclature (2) (‘CN’) and TARIC codes are attached as Annex I.
   CHAPTER 2

      ALLOCATION PRINCIPLES

   Article 3
   The method for allocating the tariff quota shall depend on the date of submission of the application by the importer, as follows:

               (a)

               for any application submitted by 31 July of each year (hereinafter referred to as ‘first part of the quota period’), the Commission shall allocate tariff quotas in accordance with the ‘traditional’ or ‘new’ categories of importers, pursuant to Article 5(2)(b) of the Protocol; and

               (b)

               for any application submitted from 1 August (hereinafter referred to as ‘second part of the quota period’), the Commission shall allocate the remaining quantities of the tariff quotas in accordance with the chronological order of receipt by the Commission of notifications from the competent authorities of Member States (hereinafter referred to as ‘Licence Office(s)’) of applications submitted by individual importers, pursuant to Article 5(2)(a) of the Protocol.

         Article 4
   1.   During the first part of the quota period:

               (a)

               70 % of each tariff quota per product group shall be allocated to traditional importers (hereinafter referred to as ‘quota for traditional importers’); and

               (b)

               30 % of each tariff quota per product group shall be allocated to new importers (hereinafter referred to as ‘quota for new importers’).

         2.   The quota for new importers shall be allocated in accordance with the chronological order of receipt by the Commission of notifications from the Licence Offices of applications for a quota authorisation from such importers.
   3.   Each new importer shall be granted a maximum of 1,5 % of the tariff quota for each product group in accordance with the allocation procedure referred to in paragraph 2.
   Article 5
   During the second part of the quota period, each importer shall be granted a maximum of 5 % of the remaining tariff quota for each product group.
   Article 6
   1.   During the first part of the quota period, each traditional importer shall only be entitled to request quota authorisations for a specific share of the quota for traditional importers for each product group (hereinafter referred to as ‘ceiling’), calculated in accordance with paragraph 2. All the quota authorisations granted to a traditional importer during the first part of the quota period shall be counted against such importer’s ceilings.
   2.   The ceiling for each product group of a traditional importer applicable in a quota period (hereinafter referred to as ‘quota period n+1’) shall be calculated in accordance with the average of such importer’s actual imports of covered products during the two quota periods preceding the year of calculation of such ceiling, on the basis of the following formula:
   Ci = T * (Īi/ΣĪi)
   where:

               ‘Ci’ represents the ceiling for the product group concerned (spruce or pine) for importer i during quota period n+1;

               ‘T’ represents the quota for traditional importers available for the product group concerned during the year of calculation of the ceiling (hereinafter referred to as ‘quota period n’);

               ‘Īi’ represents the average of the actual imports by the traditional importer i of the product group concerned, in the two quota periods preceding the calculation (hereinafter referred to as ‘quota period n–2’ and ‘quota period n–1’, respectively), as follows:
               [(actual imports of importer i in quota period n–2) + (actual imports of importer i in quota period n–1)]/2

               ‘ΣĪi’ represents the sum of all traditional importers’ average imports Īi for the product group concerned.

         Article 7
   1.   Every year, the Commission shall calculate the ceilings applicable to each traditional importer for the following quota period in accordance with the method established in Article 6(2).
   2.   For the purpose of such calculation, the Licence Offices shall provide the Commission, by 31 March of quota period n at the latest, with a summary of actual imports of covered products in quota period n–1 notified to them in accordance with Article 11(1). Such summary shall be submitted in an electronic spreadsheet format, in conformity with the template set out in Annex IV.
   3.   The Commission shall inform the Licence Offices of the updated ceilings resulting from the calculations made according to Article 6(2) by 30 April of quota period n at the latest.
   CHAPTER 3

      BUSINESS CONTINUITY

   Article 8
   1.   Where an importer claiming status of traditional importer under Article 5(4) of the Protocol (hereinafter referred to as ‘the applicant’) does not provide satisfactory evidence that it is the same natural or legal person that imported the covered products during the reference period retained pursuant to Article 17(2) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the predecessor’), it shall provide the Licence Office with the necessary evidence to prove that it has business continuity with the activities of the predecessor.
   2.   Business continuity as referred to in paragraph 1 shall be deemed to exist where:

               (a)

               the applicant and the predecessor are under the control of the same legal entity within the meaning of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (3); or

               (b)

               the economic activity of the predecessor, as regards the covered products, has been legally transferred to the applicant, for instance as a result of a merger or acquisition within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 139/2004.

         3.   Importers that do not provide evidence of business continuity shall be considered as new importers.
   Article 9
   The provisions of Article 8 shall apply mutatis mutandis where an importer claims status of traditional importer under Article 5(3) of the Protocol.
   CHAPTER 4

      APPLICATIONS FOR QUOTA AUTHORISATIONS

   Article 10
   1.   Applications for quota authorisations shall be submitted in the form established in Annex II. If information provided in the application is considered inadequate, the Licence Office may require additional details from the applicant.
   2.   The granting of a quota authorisation shall be subject to the requirement that the corresponding products undergo processing, within the customs territory of the Union, conferring Union origin in accordance with Article 24 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (4).
   3.   Applications for quota authorisations shall be accompanied by an affidavit by the applicant containing a commitment to:

               (a)

               assign the products concerned to the prescribed processing within one year from the date on which the customs declaration for release for free circulation, containing the exact description of the goods and the TARIC codes, was accepted by the competent customs authorities;

               (b)

               keep adequate records in the Member State where the authorisation was granted enabling the Licence Office to carry out any checks which they consider necessary to ensure that the products are actually assigned to the prescribed processing, and to retain such records; for the purpose of this subparagraph, ‘records’ means the data containing all the necessary information and technical details on whatever medium, enabling the Licence Offices to supervise and control operations;

               (c)

               enable the Licence Office to trace the products concerned to their satisfaction in the premises of the undertaking concerned throughout their processing;

               (d)

               notify the Licence Office of all factors which may affect the authorisation.

         4.   Where the products concerned are transferred, the applicant shall provide sufficient evidence of their assignment to the prescribed processing in accordance with paragraph 3(a).
   5.   Article 308d of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (5) shall apply.
   6.   Non-compliance with the commitment referred to in paragraph 3 of this Article, by the importer or by any natural or legal person to whom the importer subsequently transfers such products, shall be considered as equivalent to an unused quota authorisation, in accordance with Article 13, for the relevant amount of products.
   7.   The Commission shall publish a list of the Licence Offices in the Official Journal of the European Union and update it as necessary.
   CHAPTER 5

      PROOF OF ACTUAL IMPORTS

   Article 11
   1.   Not later than 15 calendar days after the end of each third month, the importers shall inform the Licence Office of the Member State from which they received a quota authorisation of their actual imports of covered products into that Member State during the last three months. For that purpose, the importer shall provide the Licence Office with a copy of the customs declarations of the imports concerned.
   2.   Where the quantity recorded in the customs declaration is measured free of bark and the quantity mentioned in entry 9 of the quota authorisation form includes bark, the importer shall provide the Licence Office, in addition to the information provided in paragraph 1, and within the same time limit, with correct import quantities for each customs declaration, that take account of the bark. The correct quantities shall be established by application of the correction coefficients set out in Annex III.
   CHAPTER 6

      UNUSED QUOTA AUTHORISATIONS

   Article 12
   1.   Where a quota authorisation remains unused after six months of its issuing, the importer shall either return it to the Licence Office, or shall notify the Licence Office of its intention to use it within the remainder of the quota period. Where a quota authorisation has been issued before the beginning of the quota period in accordance with Article 4 of the Protocol, the six-month time limit shall be counted as from 1 January of the year corresponding to the quota period.
   2.   The Licence Offices shall immediately notify the Commission of any quota authorisation returned by importers in accordance with paragraph 1. The balance of traditional importers’ ceilings available for the product group concerned shall be modified for the corresponding amount.
   Article 13
   1.   Where the actual imports by a traditional importer of covered products during quota period n–1 are lesser than 85 % of the quantities covered by all quota authorisations granted to such importer during the same quota period, the importer’s import ceilings for both product groups during quota period n+1 shall be reduced by an amount proportional to the size of missing actual imports.
   2.   The reduction referred to in paragraph 1 shall be calculated as follows:
   ri = (0,85 * ΣΑi – Ii)/ΣΑi

   where:

               ‘ri’ represents the reduction applicable to import ceilings of importer i, for both product groups, during the quota period n+1;

               ‘ΣΑi’ represents the sum of quota authorisations granted to the traditional importer i during the quota period n–1;

               ‘Ii’ represents the actual imports of covered products of importer i during the quota period n–1.

         Article 14
   1.   Where a quota authorisation that has not been returned after six months of its issuing pursuant to Article 12 remains unused at the end of quota period n–1, the importer’s import ceilings for both product groups during quota period n+1 shall be reduced by twice the amount proportional to the size of the unused quota authorisation.
   2.   The reduction referred to in paragraph 1 shall be calculated as follows:
   Ri = 2 * (ΣUi/ΣΑi)
   where:

               ‘Ri’ represents the reduction applicable to the import ceiling of importer i, for both product groups, during quota period n+1;

               ‘ΣUi’ represents the sum of unused quota authorisations granted to importer i during the quota period n–1;

               ‘ΣΑi’ represents the sum of quota authorisations granted to importer i, for both product groups, during the quota period n–1.

         Article 15
   Should the conditions for reduction of import ceilings provided for in Articles 13 and 14 be both met simultaneously, only the higher reduction (Ri or ri) shall be applied.
   CHAPTER 7

      TRANSITIONAL MEASURES APPLYING TO THE FIRST THREE QUOTA PERIODS

   3.   The reference period retained by each importer in accordance with paragraph 2 shall apply to all the first three quota periods of application of this Regulation.
   Article 18
   1.   Importers claiming status of traditional importer shall inform the Licence Office(s) of the Member State(s) from which they intend to request quota authorisations, not later than 20 calendar days after the entry into force of this Regulation, of their actual imports of covered products into that Member State(s) during the reference period retained in accordance with Article 17(2). In order to substantiate such actual import claims, the importer shall provide the Licence Office with a copy of the customs declarations of the imports concerned.
   2.   The Licence Offices shall provide the Commission, not later than 35 calendar days after the entry into force of this Regulation, with a summary of actual imports of covered products notified to them in accordance with paragraph 1 of this Article. Such summary shall be submitted in an electronic spreadsheet format, in conformity with the template set out in Annex V.
   Article 19
   1.   Where a single year is retained pursuant to Article 17(2), the variable Īi referred to in Article 6(2) shall represent the importer’s actual imports of the product group concerned during such year.
   2.   Where the combination of both 2004 and 2007 is retained pursuant to Article 17(2), the variable Īi referred to in Article 6(2) shall represent the average of the importer’s actual imports of the product group concerned in years 2004 and 2007, calculated as follows:

   3.   The Commission shall inform the Licence Offices of the ceilings resulting from the calculations made according to Article 6(2) not later than 65 calendar days after the entry into force of this Regulation.
   4.   In case the ceilings referred to in Article 6 have not been calculated by the time the Agreement and the Protocol are applied on a provisional basis, the tariff quotas per product group shall be allocated to all importers in accordance with the allocation procedure referred to in Article 3(b) until the Commission has notified the Licence Offices that the ceilings have been established and that the allocation procedure referred to in Article 3(b) has ended. For the purposes of this paragraph, each importer shall be granted a maximum of 2,5 % of the tariff quota for each product group.
   CHAPTER 8
   Article 20
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

   It shall cease to apply on the date on which the Protocol ceases to be applied provisionally.

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

   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The preparation of Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299, belonging to the additive category of ‘zootechnical additives’, was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for use on chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1137/2007 (2).

               (2)

               In accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the holder of the authorisation has proposed changing the terms of the authorisation of Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299 to modify the additive composition by increasing the minimum concentration and to allow its use in feed for chickens for fattening containing formic acid. The application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data. The Commission forwarded that application to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’).

               (3)

               The Authority concluded in its opinion of 15 March 2011 that the increase of the minimum concentration from 1,6 × 109 to 1,6 × 1010 CFU/g is unlikely to introduce new hazards and that the modified composition is compatible with formic acid. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (4)

               The conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied.

               (5)

               Regulation (EC) No 1137/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (6)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1137/2007 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1271/2014
   of 28 November 2014
   authorising an increase of the limits for the enrichment of wine produced using the grapes harvested in 2014 from certain wine grape varieties in certain wine-growing regions or a part thereof
   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 Article 91 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Point A.3 of Part I of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 provides that Member States may request that the limits for increasing the alcoholic strength (enrichment) of wine by volume be raised by up to 0,5 % in years in which climatic conditions have been exceptionally unfavourable.

               (2)

               Belgium, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Croatia, Italy, Hungary, Austria, Romania, Slovenia and Slovakia have requested such increases of the limits for enrichment of the wine produced using the grapes harvested in the year 2014, as climatic conditions during the growing season have been exceptionally unfavourable. Such request has been made by Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary, Austria, Romania, Slovenia and Slovakia for all their wine-growing regions. Belgium made the request for one region, Germany for some regions and parts of the regions of Mosel and Saale-Unstrut, France for some communes within the departments of Aude and Hérault, and Italy for some regions in the North and Centre of Italy and a PDO area in the regions of Umbria and Lazio. Belgium, France and Italy have requested the increases of the limits of enrichment for all wine made from grape varieties growing in the areas having suffered from the exceptionally unfavourable weather conditions. Germany requested the increase of enrichment only for wine made from specific wine grape varieties affected for the regions of Baden, Württemberg and Mecklenburger Landwein and the concerned part of the region of Saale-Unstrut.

               (3)

               Due to the exceptionally adverse weather conditions during 2014, the limits on increases in the natural alcoholic strength provided for in point A.2 of Part I of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 do not enable the production of wine with an appropriate total alcoholic strength from all or certain wine grape varieties in certain wine-growing regions or a part thereof for which there would normally be market demand.

               (4)

               Having regard to the purpose of Part I of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, namely to discourage and limit enrichment of wine, and given the exceptional nature of the derogation in point A.3 of that Part, authorisations to increase the limits for the enrichment of wine should be granted only for the wine-growing regions or parts thereof and for the grape varieties affected by exceptionally unfavourable climatic conditions. Therefore, in Belgium, the authorisation should only be granted to the region of Wallonia that has suffered such climatic conditions. In Germany, the authorisation should only be granted for wine from the wine grape varieties Blauer Spätburgunder, Schwarzriesling, Blauer Gutedel, Weißer Gutedel and Blauer Trollinger affected by such climatic conditions in the region of Baden; for wine from all red wine grape varieties affected by such climatic conditions in the regions of Hessische Bergstraße and Rheingau; from all red wine grape varieties and from the white wine grape varieties Bacchus, Blauer Silvaner, Cabernet Blanc, Grüner Silvaner, Johanniter, Müller-Thurgau, Ruländer, Sauvignon Blanc, Scheurebe, Weißer Elbling, Weißer Gutedel, Weißer Riesling and Weißer Burgunder affected by such climatic conditions in part of the region of Saale-Unstrut; from the wine grape variety Blauer Trollinger affected by such climatic conditions in the region of Württemberg; from the wine grape varieties Phoenix, Müller-Thurgau, Elbling and Regent affected by such climatic conditions in the region of Mecklenburger Landwein; and from all wine grape varieties in the regions of Ahr, Mittelrhein, Nahe, Pfalz and Rheinhessen and in part of the region of Mosel that have suffered such climatic conditions. In France, the authorisation should only be granted for a limited number of communes in the department of Aude and Hérault that have suffered such climatic conditions. In Italy, the authorisation should only be granted to the regions of Veneto, Friuli-Venezia-Giulia, Provincia autonoma di Trento, Provincia autonoma di Bolzano, Lombardia, Piemonte, Emilia-Romagna, Toscana, Abruzzo and Puglia and to the area of the Protected Denomination of Origin ‘Orvieto’ in the regions of Umbria and Lazio, that have suffered such climatic conditions.

               (5)

               It is therefore appropriate to authorise an increase of the limits for the enrichment of wine produced using all or certain varieties of wine grapes harvested in 2014, in wine-growing regions in Belgium, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Croatia, Italy, Hungary, Austria, Romania, Slovenia and Slovakia or a part thereof.

               (6)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   By way of derogation from point A.3 of Part I of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, in the wine-growing regions or a part thereof listed in the Annex to this Regulation and for all or certain wine grape varieties as specified in that Annex, the increase in natural alcoholic strength by volume of fresh grapes harvested in the year 2014, grape must, grape must in fermentation, new wine still in fermentation and wine produced using the grapes harvested in the year 2014, shall not exceed the following limits:

               (a)

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 289/2012
   of 30 March 2012
   fixing the import duties in the cereals sector applicable from 1 April 2012
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 of 20 July 2010 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of import duties in the cereals sector (2), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 136(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 states that the import duty on products covered by CN codes 1001 19 00, 1001 11 00, ex 1001 91 20 (common wheat seed), ex 1001 99 00 (high quality common wheat other than for sowing), 1002 10 00, 1002 90 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00, 1007 10 90 and 1007 90 00 is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.

               (2)

               Article 136(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down that, in order to calculate the import duty referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article, representative cif import prices are to be established on a regular basis for the products in question.

               (3)

               Under Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 642/2010, the price to be used for the calculation of the import duty on products covered by CN codes 1001 19 00, 1001 11 00, ex 1001 91 20 (common wheat seed), ex 1001 99 00 (high quality common wheat other than for sowing), 1002 10 00, 1002 90 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00, 1007 10 90 and 1007 90 00 is the daily cif representative import price determined as specified in Article 5 of that Regulation.

               (4)

               Import duties should be fixed for the period from 1 April 2012 and should apply until new import duties are fixed and enter into force.

               (5)

               Given the need to ensure that this measure applies as soon as possible after the updated data have been made available, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   From 1 April 2012, the import duties in the cereals sector referred to in Article 136(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be those fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information contained in Annex II.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 26/2012
   of 12 January 2012
   fixing the allocation coefficient to be applied to applications for import licences lodged from 1 to 6 January 2012 under subquota IV in the context of the tariff quota opened by Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 for common wheat of a quality other than high quality
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 (3) opens an overall annual import tariff quota of 3 112 030 tonnes of common wheat of a quality other than high quality. That quota is divided into four subquotas.

               (2)

               Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 sets subquota IV (order number 09.4133) at 122 790 tonnes for the period 1 January to 31 December 2012.

               (3)

               The notification made in accordance with Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 shows that the applications lodged from 1 to 6 January 2012 at 13.00 (Brussels time) in accordance with Article 4(1), subparagraph 2, of that Regulation exceed the quantities available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined and the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities applied for should be fixed.

               (4)

               No further import licences should be issued under subquota IV as referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 for the current quota period.

               (5)

               In order to ensure sound management of the procedure of issuing import licences, the present Regulation should enter into force immediately after its publication,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   1.   Each import licence application under subquota IV referred to in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 and lodged from 1 to 6 January 2012 at 13.00 (Brussels time) shall give rise to the issue of a licence for the quantities applied for, multiplied by an allocation coefficient of 2,484571 %.
   2.   The issue of licences for the quantities applied for from 6 January 2012 at 13.00 (Brussels time) falling within subquota IV as referred to in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 is hereby suspended for the current quota period.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

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

   of 18 April 2011
   opening a tariff quota for certain quantities of industrial sugar for the 2011/2012 marketing year
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 142, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In order to ensure that the supply necessary for the production of the products referred to in Article 62(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 is available at a price that corresponds to the world price, it is in the interest of the Union to suspend the import duties on sugar intended for the production of those products for the 2011/2012 marketing year, for a quantity that would correspond to half of its industrial sugar needs.

               (2)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 of 25 September 2009 opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas in the sugar sector (2) provides for the administration of the tariff quotas for imports of sugar products under Article 142 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 with order number 09.4390 (industrial import sugar). However, in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 the quantities of those products for which import duties are to be suspended has to be determined by a separate legal act.

               (3)

               The import quantities of industrial sugar for which no import duties should apply for the 2011/2012 marketing year, need to be set accordingly.

               (4)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The import duties for industrial sugar falling within CN 1701 and with order number 09.4390 shall be suspended for a quantity of 400 000 tonnes from 1 October 2011 to 30 September 2012.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 October 2011.
   It shall expire on 30 September 2012.

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