Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in poultrymeat (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,

Whereas:
(1)
The applications for import licences lodged under certain quotas during the first seven days of March 2008 for the subperiod 1 April to 30 June 2008 relate to quantities exceeding those available. The quantities for which licences may be issued should therefore be determined by setting the allocation coefficient by which the quantities applied for are to be multiplied.
(2)
The applications for import licences lodged under certain quotas during the first seven days of March 2008 for the subperiod 1 April to 30 June 2008 do not cover the total available. The quantities for which applications have not been lodged should therefore be determined, and these should be added to the quantity fixed for the following quota subperiod,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. The quantities for which import licence applications have been lodged for the subperiod 1 April to 30 June 2008 under Regulation (EC) No 1385/2007 shall be multiplied by the allocation coefficients set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. The quantities for which applications have not been lodged, to be added to the quantity fixed for the subperiod 1 July to 30 September 2008, shall be as set out in the Annex.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2655/92 of 8 September 1992 restricting use of the procedure for the international transport of goods under cover of TIR carnets (TIR Convention) in the case of consignments travelling between two points situated in the European Economic Community via the territories of the Republics of Serbia and Montenegro
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas on 1 June 1992, the representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, adopted Decision 92/285/ECSC (1) prohibiting trade between the European Coal and Steel Community and the Republics of Serbia and Montenegro;
Whereas on 1 June 1992 the Council adopted Regulation (EEC) No 1432/92 (2) prohibiting trade between the European Economic Community and the Republics of Serbia and Montenegro;
Whereas it is extremely important to ensure effective application of the embargo imposed on the Republics of Serbia and Montenegro;
Whereas if transit via those Republics is effected under the procedure for the international transport of goods under cover of TIR carnets (TIR Convention) there will be a major risk of goods being diverted to a destination contrary to the prohibitions of the embargo unless that procedure is used simultaneously with the Community transit procedure provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 222/77 (3) or the common transit procedure provided for in the EEC-EFTA Convention of 20 May 1987 (4);
Whereas it is therefore necessary, in order to avoid diversions breaking the embargo imposed on the Republics of Serbia and Montenegro, to confine use of the TIR procedure for intra-Community consignments crossing the territories of those Republics to those cases where the Community transit procedure or the common transit procedure is used;
Whereas this restriction is compatible with the TIR Convention, Article 47 of which states that it does not preclude the application of restrictions imposed, inter alia, on grounds of public security,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
By way of derogation from Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 222/77, the procedure for the international transport of goods under cover of TIR carnets (TIR Convention) may not be used for consignments travelling between two points situated in the European Economic Community via the territory of the Republics of Serbia and Montenegro unless those consignments are made under the Community transit procedure provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 222/77 or the common transit procedure provided for in the EEC-EFTA Convention of 20 May 1987.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 8 September 1992.
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 471/2006
of 22 March 2006
derogating for 2006 from Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 as regards the dates of issue of export licences in the beef and veal sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular Article 29(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 10(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (2) provides that export licences are to be issued on the fifth working day following that on which the application is lodged, provided that the Commission has not taken any specific action during that period.
(2)
In view of the public holidays in 2006 and the irregular appearance of the Official Journal of the European Union during those holidays, the abovementioned period of five working days will be too short to guarantee proper administration of the market and should therefore be extended.
(3)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
By way of derogation from Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1445/95, for 2006 licences for which applications are lodged during the periods set out in the Annex to this Regulation shall be issued on the corresponding dates indicated in that Annex.
The derogation shall apply provided that no specific action referred to in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 has been taken prior to those dates of issue.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
