In order to ensure a regular flow of imports, the quota
period running from 1 January to 31 December should
be subdivided into several subperiods.
In any event,
under Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 licences are valid
only up to and including the last day of the tariff quota
period.

In view of the risk of speculation inherent in the system
in the poultrymeat sector, clear conditions should be laid
down as regards access for operators to the tariff quota
scheme.

For appropriate administration of the tariff quotas, the
security linked to the import licences should be set at
EUR 20 per 100 kilograms.

In the interests of the operators, the Commission should
determine the quantities that have not been applied
for, which will be added to the next quota subperiod
in accordance with Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC)
No 1301/2006.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of

Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,
