THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

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 188 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.
