THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Having regard to the Treaty

establishing the European

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 297/2003 is amended as follows:

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17
May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef
and veal (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article
32(1) thereof,

Commission Regulation (EC) No 297/2003 (2) provides
for the opening and administration, on a multi-annual
basis, of an import tariff quota for certain beef and veal
products.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31
August 2006 laying down common rules for the admi-
nistration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products
managed by a system of import licences (3) applies to
import licences for import tariff quota periods starting
from 1 January 2007. That Regulation limits the period
of validity of licences to the last day of the import tariff
quota period. The provisions of Chapter III of Regulation
(EC) No 1301/2006 should apply, from 1 July 2007, to
imports licences issued pursuant to Regulation (EC) No
297/2003, without prejudice to additional conditions
laid down in that Regulation.
It is necessary to align
the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 297/2003 on Regu-
lation (EC) No 1301/2006 where appropriate.

Some provisions of Regulation (EC) No 297/2003
relating to an import tariff quota period in the past are
obsolete. For the sake of clarity, those provisions should
be deleted.

Regulation (EC) No 297/2003 should therefore be
amended accordingly.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Beef and Veal,
