Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002
of 27 December 2002 opening and providing for the adminis-
tration of Community tariff quotas for common wheat of a
quality other than high quality from third countries and dero-

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank,
