Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of
29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in

In view of the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the
European Union on 1 January 2007, provision must be
made to add entries on the licence applications and the
licences themselves in Bulgarian and Romanian.

Regulation (EC) No 1396/98 should therefore be amended
accordingly.

The Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs has
not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1396/98 (3) lays down
procedures for applying in the poultrymeat sector Coun-
cil Regulation (EC) No 779/98 on the import into the
Community of agricultural products originating in Turkey.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August
2006 laying down common rules for the administration
of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed
by a system of import licences (4) applies to import
licences for the import tariff quota periods from 1 Janu-
ary 2007. Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 lays down in
particular rules on applications for import licences, the
status of applicants and the issue of licences. It limits the

period. Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 must apply to
import licences issued under Regulation (EC) No 1396/98,
save as otherwise provided for in that Regulation. It is
therefore necessary to bring Regulation (EC) No 1396/98
into line with Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006, where
appropriate.
