      COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1126/2009
   of 23 November 2009
   opening and providing for the management of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products originating in Switzerland, and repealing Commission Regulation (EC) No 933/2002
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Decision 2002/309/EC, Euratom of the Council and of the Commission as regards the Agreement on Scientific and Technological Cooperation of 4 April 2002 on the conclusion of seven Agreements with the Swiss Confederation (1), and in particular Article 5(3) first indent and Article 5(4) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               By Decision No 2/2008 of the Joint Committee on Agriculture set up by the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products of 24 June 2008 concerning the adaptation of Annexes 1 and 2 (2), Annexes 1 and 2 to the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products (hereinafter ‘the Agreement’) have been replaced.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               Annex 2 to the Agreement, as amended, sets out the tariff concessions granted by the Community for imports of agricultural products originating in Switzerland. Certain of those tariff concessions apply within tariff quotas managed in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (3).
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               For reasons of clarity, it is appropriate to lay down the provisions implementing those tariff quotas for agricultural products in one single legislative act which replaces Commission Regulation (EC) No 933/2002 (4). In accordance with the Agreement the tariff quotas should be opened for the period from 1 January to 31 December.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               Since Decision No 2/2008 of the Joint Committee on Agriculture enters into force on 1 January 2010, this Regulation should apply from the same date.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
            
         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

   Article 3
   Regulation (EC) No 933/2002 is repealed.
   Article 4
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
