COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1385/2007

of 26 November 2007

laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 774/94 as regards
opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas for poultrymeat

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty
Community,

establishing the European

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29
October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in
poultrymeat (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 774/94 of 29
March 1994 opening and providing for the administration of
certain Community tariff quotas for high-quality beef, and for
pigmeat, poultrymeat, wheat and meslin, and brans, sharps and
other residues (2), and in particular Article 7 thereof,

Whereas:

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1431/94 of 22 June
1994 laying down detailed rules for the application in
the poultrymeat sector of the arrangements provided for
in Council Regulation (EC) No 774/94 opening and
providing for the administration of certain Community
tariff quotas for poultrymeat and certain other agri-
cultural products (3) has been substantially amended
several times and requires further amendment. Regulation
(EC) No 1431/94 should therefore be repealed and
replaced by a new regulation.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31
August 2006 laying down common rules for the admin-
istration 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 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. The administration of the tariff quotas should be
based on import licences.

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 50 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.

(4)

(5)

(6)

(7)

The tariff quotas should be administered on the basis of
import licences. For this purpose, the arrangements for
submitting applications and the details
should
appear on the licence applications and the licences them-
selves should be specified.
