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 183, first paragraph, point (b), thereof,
Whereas:

That additional import duty has to apply if the quantity of any of the products put into free circulation for any of the periods of application set out in that Annex exceeds the trigger volume of imports in a year for that product.

On the basis of the data notified by the Member States for the years 2020, 2021 and&#160;2022, the trigger volumes for certain fruit and vegetables should be fixed for the years 2024 and&#160;2025.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
