COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 708/2004

of 16 April 2004

determining the quantity of certain products in the milk and milk products sector available for the
period from 1 May to 30 June 2004 under quotas opened by the Community

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),

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 (2), and in particular Article 16(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) When import licences were allocated for the first four
months of 2004 for certain quotas referred to in Regu-
lation (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 from 1 May to 30 June
2004 should be fixed, taking account of the unallocated
quantities resulting from Commission Regulations (EC)

No 126/2004 (3) and (EC) No 178/2004 (4) determining
the extent to which the applications for import licences
submitted in January 2004 for certain dairy products
under certain tariff quotas opened by Regulation (EC) No
2535/2001 can be accepted.

(2)

For the sake of clarity and consistency, it is appropriate
to fix the available quantities for all the quotas to be
opened for the period from 1 May to 30 June 2004,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The quantities available for the period from 1 May to 30 June
2004 for the remaining of the second half of the year of
importation under certain quotas referred to in Regulation (EC)
No 2535/2001 shall be as set out in the Annex.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 17 April 2004.

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

Done at Brussels, 16 April 2004.
