COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 520/2009

of 17 June 2009

on the issuing of import licences for applications lodged during the first seven days of June 2009 under the tariff quota opened by Regulation (EC) No 1399/2007 for sausages and certain meat products originating in Switzerland

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1399/2007 of 28 November 2007 opening and providing for the administration of a tariff quota for sausages and certain meat products originating in Switzerland (2) and in particular Article 5(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Regulation (EC) No 1399/2007 opened a tariff quota for imports of sausages and certain meat products.

(2) The applications for import licences lodged during the first seven days of June 2009 for the subperiod 1 July to 30 September 2009 do not cover the total quantity 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

The quantities for which import licence applications under the quota bearing the serial number 09.4180 have not been lodged pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1399/2007, to be added to the subperiod 1 October to 31 December 2009, shall be 1 400 000 kg.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 18 June 2009.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 17 June 2009. For the Commission Jean-Luc DEMARTY Director-General for Agriculture and Rural Development

It is not refuted that channel gratings/linear drainage systems which are usually composed of a drain channel and a grate on the top mainly serve the purpose of draining water from a surface. However, they also allow for safe and easy access to an underground chamber which would be, in this case, the drain channel. Should, for instance, the drain channel be blocked by leaves or other objects, a person could after having lifted the grate, access the drain channel to remove the blockage. Even assuming that the drain channel cannot be considered as forming part of the underground chamber as the whole casting should give access to it, it can still be argued that the channel grating covers a linear cavity in the earth that has been dug to allow for water drainage. It is further emphasised that the sentence in the recital in question mentioned that the access can be for the purpose of visual inspection which is undoubtedly possible for channel gratings. In addition, the sentence quoted by that party has to be read in context, i.e. together with recital 15 and the beginning of recital 16. As mentioned above, there it is stipulated that ‘castings are generally comprised of a frame, which is embedded in the ground, and either a cover or a grate, which sits flush with any surface used by pedestrians and/or vehicles and which directly withstand the weight and impact of pedestrian and/or vehicle traffic. (…) Castings serve the purpose of covering an underground chamber and must bear load resistance of motored vehicles and/or pedestrian traffic. The cover or grate is required to remain secure within the frame in order to avoid noise pollution, human injury and vehicle damage.’. The investigation showed that the channel gratings are generally comprised of a drain channel which is embedded in the ground, and a grate, which sits flush with any surface used by pedestrians and/or vehicles and which directly withstand the weight and impact of pedestrian and/or vehicle traffic. Moreover, the channel grating can also be used to give access and/or gain entry to an underground chamber and they also must bear load resistance of motored vehicles and/or pedestrian traffic. Therefore, the argument that channel gratings were clearly not covered is rejected.
