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,

Whereas:

(1) Section 3 of Chapter III of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009 (2) determines the procedure for allocating export licences for certain milk products to be exported to the Dominican Republic under a quota opened for that country.

(3) Article 1 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/987 (3) specifies that the total remaining quantity for the quota year 2015/2016 is 3 843 tonnes.
