   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 992/95 of 10 April 1995 opening and providing for the administration of tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and fishery products originating in Norway (1), and in particular Article 5(1)(a) and (b) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               An Agreement has been concluded in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union, of the one part, and the Kingdom of Norway, of the other part, concerning additional trade preferences in agricultural products reached on the basis of Article 19 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The Agreement was approved on behalf of the Union by Council Decision 2011/818/EU (2).
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               That Agreement provides further progressive liberalisation of agricultural trade on a preferential, reciprocal and mutually beneficial basis and for new annual duty free tariff quotas at import into the European Union of certain agricultural products originating in Norway.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               In order to implement the new tariff quotas provided for in the Agreement, it is necessary to amend Regulation (EC) No 992/95.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               Regulation (EC) No 992/95 should therefore be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               In accordance with Decision 2011/818/EU the new tariff quotas are to apply from 1 January 2012. This Regulation should therefore apply from the same date.
            
         
               (6)
