on the issue of import licences for applications lodged during the first seven days of September 2014 under the tariff quotas opened by Regulation (EC) No 533/2007 for poultrymeat


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1) and in particular Article 188 thereof,


Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,


Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 533/2007 of 14 May 2007 opening and providing for the administration of tariff quotas in the poultrymeat sector (3), and in particular Article 5(6) thereof,

The applications for import licences lodged during the first seven days of September 2014 for the subperiod from 1 October to 31 December 2014 relate, for some quotas, to quantities exceeding those available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by establishing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:



Article 1
The quantities for which import licence applications have been lodged under Regulation (EC) No 533/2007 for the subperiod from 1 October to 31 December 2014 shall be multiplied by the allocation coefficients set out in the Annex to this Regulation.


Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 19 September 2014.




This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 18 September 2014.

Article 22(1) of Regulation No 1008/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 September 2008 on common rules for the operation of air services in the Community must be interpreted as precluding a national law, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, that requires air carriers to carry, in all circumstances, not only the passenger, but also baggage checked in by him, provided that the baggage complies with certain requirements as regards, in particular, its weight, for the price of the plane ticket and without it being possible to charge any price supplement to carry such baggage.
