(2)
Regulation (EC) No 533/2004 provides that the Council is to decide on the principles, priorities and conditions to be contained in the partnerships, as well as any subsequent adjustments.

(7)
In order to prepare for further integration with the European Union, the competent authorities in Serbia as well as Kosovo under UNSCR 1244 should develop a plan with a timetable and specific measures to address the priorities of this European Partnership.

(3)
The applications for import licences lodged during the first seven days of January 2009 for the subperiod 1 January to 31 March 2009 relate to quantities exceeding those available.
