COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2216/2003

of 18 December 2003

determining the quantity of certain products in the milk and milk products sector available for the
period 1 January to 30 April 2004 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 Regu-
lation (EC) No 1787/2002 (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 2012/
2003 (4), and in particular Article 16(2) thereof,

Whereas:

When import licences were allocated for the second half of
2003 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 April 2004 should be fixed, taking account of the unallo-
cated quantities resulting from Commission Regulation (EC) No
1345/2003 (5) determining the extent to which the applications
for import licences submitted in July 2003 for certain dairy
products under certain tariff quotas opened by Regulation (EC)
No 2535/2001 can be accepted,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The quantities available for the period 1 January to 30 April
2004 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 19 December 2003.

Article 2

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

Done at Brussels, 18 December 2003.
