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 188 thereof,                        

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,                        

Whereas:

(1)Commission Regulation (EC) No 969/2006(3) opened an annual import tariff quota of 277 988 tonnes of maize (order number 09.4131).

(2)Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 969/2006 fixes a quantity of 138 994 tonnes for subperiod 1 from 1 January to 30 June 2014.

(3)Based on the notification made under Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 969/2006, the applications lodged from 1 to 3 January                              2014 at 13.00 (Brussels time) in accordance with Article 4(1) of that Regulation, relate to quantities in excess of those                              available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined and the allocation coefficient                              to be applied to the quantities applied for should be fixed.

(4)Import licences should no longer be issued under Regulation (EC) No 969/2006 for the current quota subperiod.

(5)In order to ensure sound management of the procedure of issuing import licences, this Regulation should enter into force immediately                              after its publication,
