         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/1858
   of 16 October 2015
   fixing the allocation coefficient to be applied to applications for export licences for cheese to be exported to the United States of America in 2016 under the quotas referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009
   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,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Chapter III, section 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009 (2) opens the procedure for the allocation of export licences for cheese to be exported to the United States of America under the quotas referred to in Article 21 of that Regulation.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               The quantities covered by the export licence applications for certain product groups and quotas exceed the quantities available for the 2016 quota year. The extent to which the export licences may be issued should therefore be determined by fixing the allocation coefficients to be applied to the quantities requested, calculated in accordance with Article 23(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               The quantities covered by the export licence applications for certain product groups and quotas are less than the quantities available for the 2016 quota year. The remaining amounts should be divided between the applicants, in proportion to the amounts applied for, by applying an allocation coefficient, in accordance with Article 23(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               Given the deadline established in Article 23(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009 for fixing allocation coefficients, this Regulation should come into force the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,
            
         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
