               For the purposes of Article 5(4) of the Agreement on Agriculture (4) concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations and in the light of the latest data available for 2009, 2010 and 2011, the trigger levels for additional duties should be adjusted from 1 November 2012 for mandarins and satsumas, clementines, artichokes and oranges and from 1 January 2013 for courgettes.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               Given the need to ensure that this measure applies as soon as possible after the updated data have been made available, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
