Communication of the Commission on the quantity of certain products in the milk and milk
products sector available for the second half of 2008 under certain quotas opened by the
Community

(2008/C 130/05)

When import licences were allocated for the first half of 2008 for certain quotas referred to in Commission
Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 (1), applications for licences referred to quantities less than those available
for the products concerned. As a result, the quantity available for each quota for the period 1 July to
31 December 2008 should be calculated, taking account of the unallocated quantities resulting from
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1464/2007 of 12 December 2007 determining the extent to which the
applications for import licences submitted in November 2007 for certain dairy products under certain tariff
quotas opened by Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 can be accepted (2) and from Commission Regulation
(EC) No 44/2008 of 18 January 2008 determining the extent to which the applications for import licences
lodged during the first 10 days of January 2008 for butter originating in New Zealand under quota
numbers 09.4195 and 09.4182 can be accepted (3).

The quantities available for the period 1 July to 31 December 2008 for the second half of the year of impor-
tation of certain quotas referred to in Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 are indicated hereunder.
