   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 183(b) thereof,

               (1)
            
            
               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 (2) provides for the surveillance of the imports of the products listed in Annex XVIII thereto. That surveillance is to be carried out in accordance with the rules laid down in Article 308d of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (3).
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               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 2011, 2012 and 2013, the trigger levels for additional duties on cucumbers and cherries, other than sour, should be amended with effect from 1 May 2014, whilst those on apricots, tomatoes, plums, peaches, including nectarines, and table grapes should be amended with effect from 1 June 2014.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly. For reasons of readability, Annex XVIII to this Regulation should be replaced in its entirety.
            
         
               (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,
