16  Please elaborate the 
changes in detail (in one of 
the WTO official languages)  Article  55 of Implementing  Regulation  (EU) No. 2020/761  opens  a 
tariff quota for exports to the Dominican Republic of milk powder of 
EU origin. The quota is opened for all the products falling under CN 
codes 0402 10, 0402 21 and 0402 29. This export quota covers 13 
CN codes.  
 
In order to facilitate these exports  of milk powder to the Dominican 
Republic, Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 2022/739 amends the 
Implementing  Regulation  (EU) No. 2020/761,  making the  export  
licence val id for all products falling under the CN codes covered by 
this quota irrespectively of the CN codes explicitly mentioned in the 
application.  G/LIC/N/2/EU/21

   Category  Notification details  
  Article 9(6) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 2020/760 provides 
that, for the groups of tariff quotas for poultry under order numbers 
09.4211,  09.4212,  09.4213 and  09.4290,  the reference  quantity  is 
to be calculated by cumulating the quantities of products released 
for free circulation  in the Union,  which  fall within  each of the quota 
order numbers of the group.  
 
In order to simplify the calculation of the reference quantity, 
Implementing  Regulation  (EU) No. 2022/739  amends  the 
Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 2020/761, dividing the quota 
periods for order numbers 09.4213 and 09.4290 into the same sub -
periods as those laid down for order numbers 09.4211 and 09.4212.
