COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1034/2001

of 29 May 2001

amending Regulation (EC) No 6/2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council
Regulation (EC) No 1804/98 as regards the opening of a tariff quota for imports of residues from
the manufacture of starch from maize falling within CN codes 2303 10 19 and 2309 90 20 and
originating in the United States of America

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1804/98 of 14 August 1998 establishing an autonomous
duty applicable for residues from the manufacture of starch from maize falling within CN codes
2303 10 19 and 2309 90 20 and introducing a tariff quota on imports of residues from the manufacture of
starch from maize (corn gluten feed) falling within CN codes 2303 10 19 and 2309 90 20 originating in
the United States of America (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 6/2001 (2) opened a tariff quota for residues from the manufacture
of starch from maize originating in the United States of America from the fifth day following the
date of the decision of the WTO Dispute Settlement Body acknowledging that the safeguard measure
applied by the United States in the form of a quantitative restriction on imports of wheat gluten
originating, inter alia, in the Community was incompatible with the WTO Agreements. That decision
was taken on 19 January 2001. Therefore, the quota was opened on 24 January 2001.

In the light of the knowledge of the definitive date of the opening of the quota, the quota amount
should be modified pro rata to the length of time during which it will be open, namely 128 days
from 24 January 2001 to 31 May 2001. Therefore, the amount of the quota should be modified to
128/365ths of the quantity of the 2 730 000 tonnes foreseen in Council Regulation (EC) No
1804/98 for a full quota year, which is 957 370 tonnes.

(3)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management
Committee for Cereals,
