nistration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products
managed by a system of import licences (5) should apply,
save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation.

In order to ensure a regular flow of imports, the quota
period from 1 January to 31 December should be
subdivided into a number of 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 question in the pigmeat sector, precise 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.
