Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of
22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agri-

(2)

As from 1 July 2008 Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 will
apply to main sectors of the common organisation of
in Article 204
agricultural markets, as provided for
thereof. Consequently,
the Commission should adopt
the necessary measures to amend or repeal the sectoral
Regulations concerned, in order to ensure proper imple-
mentation from that date.

Article 130 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides
that without prejudice to cases where import licences are
the
required in accordance with that Regulation,
Commission may make
imports of one or more
products covered by the common organisation of agri-
cultural markets subject to presentation of an import
licence. Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 requires import
licences on the one hand for the management of the
import regime for husked and milled rice, to take into
account the quantities to be imported, and on the other
hand for the management of the import regime for sugar
under preferential arrangements.

that Regulation,

For the purposes of the management of imports and
exports, the Commission has been given the power to
determine the products for which import and/or export
will be subject
to presentation of a licence. When
assessing the needs of a licence system, the Commission
should take account of the appropriate instruments for
the management of the markets and in particular for
monitoring the imports.

(7)

This situation offers the opportunity to examine in depth
the existing rules in the different market sectors and to
reconsider current practices for licencing with a view to
simplification and to alleviating the administrative burden
for Member States and operators. For reasons of clarity,
the rules should be included in Commission Regulation
(EC) No 376/2008 of 23 April 2008 laying down
common detailed rules

the application of

A licence system is the appropriate mechanism for the
management of tariff quotas for imports and exports to
be administered by a method other than the method
based on the chronological order of the lodging of appli-
cations, according to the first come first served principle,
given the limited volume in question and the huge
number of quantities applied for.

A licence system is deemed to be the most appropriate
mechanism to monitor certain agricultural products
imported under preferential conditions, when considering
the valuable advantage offered by the reduced rate of
duty applicable and the imperative need to forecast
market movements.

Taking account of the wide range of detailed rules and
technical provisions implemented in the market sectors
to administer exports with the benefit of refunds it is
deemed more appropriate to maintain those provisions
in the sectoral Regulations, at this stage.

For fruit and vegetables, the information gained from
import licences should be used to monitor the respect
of tariff lines for like products such as dried or frozen
garlic or to administer tariff-rate quotas.

barley, maize, durum wheat,
rye, oats and flour of
common wheat and spelt in the light of their prevailing
importance on the trade flows and the domestic market.

In that respect

In the rice sector the information on foreseeable imports
and exports provided by licences is the basis for the
surveillance of the market,
in particular because of the
important position of rice in domestic consumption. It is
also used to monitor the respect of tariff lines for like
products. In addition, licences issued are to be taken into
account for the calculation of import duties for husked
and milled rice pursuant to Articles 137 and 139 of
Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. For
these reasons,
import
licence should be required for husked rice,
milled rice, semi-milled rice and for broken rice, and
export
licence should be required for husked, milled
and semi-milled rice.

As regards imports, the licence requirement should be

In order to prevent illicit hemp crops from disturbing the
common organisation of the market in hemp for fibre,
provision should be made for checks on imports of
hemp and hemp seed to ensure that such products
offer certain guarantees with regard to the tetrahydrocan-
nabinol content. The issue of licences for such import
should therefore be provided for.

themselves in a difficult situation, due, amongst others,
to a significant increase in imports of apples from certain
third countries of the Southern hemisphere. The moni-

menting rules of Council Regulations (EC) No 2200/96,
(EC) No 2201/96 and (EC) No 1182/2007 in the fruit
and vegetable sector (1). As regards bananas,
