COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 521/2011

of 26 May 2011

amending Regulation (EC) No 620/2009 providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for high-quality beef

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Whereas:

(1) To avoid speculative applications for import licences to be granted in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 620/2009 (2) and to ensure that import licences are attributed to genuine importers, it is appropriate to set a historical reference quantity of beef and veal imported as a condition for the application for import licences at an appropriate level.

(2) To avoid misinterpretation the requirements for high-quality beef laid down in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 620/2009 should be clarified; in particular, it should be set out in a more precise manner that the minimum energy content is applicable to the whole diet and that heifers and steers refer respectively to categories E and C defined in part A of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

(3) Regulation (EC) No 620/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(4) Since the next tariff quota year begins on 1 July 2011, this Regulation should apply as from that date and to licence applications lodged for that period.

(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

After consulting the Committee of the Regions,

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),

Whereas:

(1) In 2004 the European Parliament and the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 460/2004 (3) which established the European Network and Information Security Agency (the Agency).

(2) In 2008 the European Parliament and the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 1007/2008 (4) amending Regulation (EC) No 460/2004 as regards the duration of the Agency.

(3) From November 2008 a public debate was held on the general direction of European efforts towards increased network and information security, including a debate on the Agency. In line with the Commission’s Better Regulation strategy, and as a contribution to this debate, the Commission launched a public consultation on the objectives for a strengthened network and information security policy at Union level, which ran from November 2008 to January 2009. In December 2009 the debate resulted in a Council Resolution of 18 December 2009 on a collaborative European approach to Network and Information Security (5).

(4) Taking account of the results of the public debate, it is envisaged to replace Regulation (EC) No 460/2004.

(5) A legislative procedure to reform the Agency may require extensive time for debate, and since the mandate of the Agency will expire on 13 March 2012, it is necessary to adopt an extension which will both enable sufficient discussion in the European Parliament and in the Council and ensure consistency and continuity.

(6) The duration of the Agency should therefore be extended until 13 September 2013,
