THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
In order to ensure sufficient and uninterrupted supplies of certain goods insufficiently produced in the Union and to avoid any disturbances on the market for certain agricultural and industrial products, autonomous tariff quotas have been opened by Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 (1). Products within those tariff quotas can be imported at reduced or zero duty rates.

(2)
The quota volumes for autonomous tariff quotas of the Union with order Nos 09.2814, 09.2816 and 09.2807 are insufficient to meet the needs of the Union industry. Consequently, those quota volumes should be increased.
(3)

(4)
Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
