COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2255/2002

of 17 December 2002

determining the quantity of certain products in the milk and milk products sector available for the
first half of 2003 under quotas opened by the Community on the basis of an import licence alone

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17
May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk
and milk products (1), as last amended by Commission Regula-
tion (EC) No 509/2002 (2),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001
of 14 December 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying
Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards the import
arrangements for milk and milk products and opening tariff
quotas (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1667/
2002 (4), and in particular Article 16(2), second subparagraph,
thereof,

Whereas:

When import licences were allocated for the second half of
2002 for certain quotas referred to in Regulation (EC) No
2535/2001, applications for licences covered quantities less
than those available for the products concerned. As a result,

the quantity available for each quota for the period 1 January
to 30 June 2003 should be fixed, taking account of the unallo-
cated quantities resulting from Commission Regulations (EC)
No 1375/2002 (5) and (EC) No 1916/2002 (6) determining the
extent to which the applications for import licences submitted
in July and October 2002 for certain dairy products under
certain tariff quotas opened by Regulation (EC) No 1375/2001
can be accepted,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The quantities available for the period 1 January to 30 June
2003 for the second half of the year of importation of certain
quotas referred to in Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 shall be as
set out in the Annex.

This Regulation shall enter into force on 18 December 2002.

Article 2

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 17 December 2002.
