      COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1048/2006
   of 10 July 2006
   amending Regulation (EC) No 2185/2005 opening Community tariff quotas for 2006 for sheep, goats, sheepmeat and goatmeat
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2529/2001 of 19 December 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), and in particular Article 16(1) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Commission Regulation (EC) No 2185/2005 (2) provides for the opening of Community tariff quotas for sheep, goats, sheepmeat and goatmeat for the period from 1 January to 31 December 2006.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and Australia pursuant to Article XXIV.6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 (3), approved by Council Decision 2006/106/EC (4), provides for the granting of an additional tariff quota quantity of 136 tonnes (carcass weight) for Australia as from 1 January 2006, which should be added to the quantity available for 2006.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               As a result of the negotiations which led to the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the United States of America pursuant to Article XXIV:6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 (5), approved by Council Decision 2006/333/EC (6), the Community undertook to incorporate in its schedule an erga omnes annual import tariff quota of live sheep, other than pure-bred breeding animals of 91 tonnes natural weight (43 tonnes carcass weight). The import tariff quota of live animals of 49 tonnes carcass weight previously attributed to the ‘others’ shall be open to all. The two import tariff quotas of live animals should be summed up to give a total of 92 tonnes carcass weight. The order number of the quota will remain the same.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               Regulation (EC) No 2185/2005 should be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               Since the tariff quotas are opened from 1 January 2006, this Regulation should apply retroactively as from the same date.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for sheepmeat and goatmeat,
            
         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
