            COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2024/1173
of 13 March 2024
         
amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/760 as regards some provisions following the free trade agreement between the European Union and New Zealand and deletion of obsolete provisions as regards export tariff quota for milk powder


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 186 thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/760 (2) supplements Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 as regards the rules for the administration of import and export tariff quotas for agricultural products subject to licences.












(2)


Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/760 contains provisions as regards export tariff quota for milk powder opened by the Dominican Republic. That export quota has been removed from Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761 (3) by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/953 (4). Therefore, the provisions on that export quota in Regulation (EU) 2020/760 should be deleted.












(3)


In accordance with Council Decision (EU) 2024/244 (5), the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and New Zealand (‘the Agreement’) was concluded on 27 November 2023.












(4)


The Agreement amends the tariff quotas with order numbers 09.4182 and 09.4195 and introduces a certificate of eligibility to be issued by New Zealand. Those changes should be reflected in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/760.












(5)


Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/760 should therefore be amended accordingly,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
