Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 533/2007 (2) opened annual tariff quotas for imports of poultrymeat products.

(2) For some quotas, the quantities covered by the applications for import licences lodged from 1 to 7 June 2015 for the subperiod from 1 July to 30 September 2015 exceed those available.
