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,

(2)Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1918/2006 of 20 December 2006 opening and providing for the administration of                              tariff quota for olive oil originating in Tunisia(5) lays down monthly quantitative limits for the issue of import licences.

(4)In these circumstances, the Commission must set an allocation coefficient allowing import licences to be issued in proportion                              to the quantity available.

(5)Since the limit for the month of October has been reached, no more import licences can be issued for that month,
