      COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 567/2007
   of 24 May 2007
   amending Regulation (EC) No 297/2003 laying down detailed rules for the application of the tariff quota for beef and veal originating in Chile
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 32(1) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Commission Regulation (EC) No 297/2003 (2) provides for the opening and administration, on a multi-annual basis, of an import tariff quota for certain beef and veal products.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (3) applies to import licences for import tariff quota periods starting from 1 January 2007. That Regulation limits the period of validity of licences to the last day of the import tariff quota period. The provisions of Chapter III of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 should apply, from 1 July 2007, to imports licences issued pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 297/2003, without prejudice to additional conditions laid down in that Regulation. It is necessary to align the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 297/2003 on Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 where appropriate.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               Some provisions of Regulation (EC) No 297/2003 relating to an import tariff quota period in the past are obsolete. For the sake of clarity, those provisions should be deleted.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               Regulation (EC) No 297/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
