(1)   Auctions for skim milk powder, whole milk powder, condensed milk and natural honey shall precede the import period, i.e. in June for quotas opening in July.

(2)   The specific guidelines by the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation will provide that the public notices for the auctions will be made eight calendar days prior to the deadline of the application for participating in the auctions.

(2)   The general instructions to bidders for each auction will prescribe that the deposit is to be returned to bidders as soon as allowed by normal administration procedures after the auction is completed.

(3)   No guarantee or deposit will be required for license applicants.

Article 3

Issuance and validity of a recommendation

(1)   Recommending Agencies will issue a Korea-EU FTA TRQs Import Recommendation (hereinafter referred to as ‘Recommendation’) following an auction or a licence application.
