   amending Annex V to Council Regulation (EC) No 1342/2007 as regards the quantitative limits of certain steel products from the Russian Federation
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1342/2007 of 22 October 2007 on administering certain restrictions on imports of certain steel products from the Russian Federation (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               The European Community and the Russian Federation signed an agreement on trade in certain steel products on 26 October 2007 (2) (‘the Agreement’).
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               Article 3(3) of the Agreement provides that unused quantities for a given year may be carried over to the following year up to a maximum of 7 % of the relevant quantitative limit set out in Annex II to the Agreement.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               Russia has, as in 2008, notified the Community of its intent to make use of the provisions in Article 3(3) within the time limits set by the Agreement. It is appropriate to make the necessary adjustments to the quantitative limits for the year 2009 resulting from Russia’s request.
            
         
               (4)

               (5)
            
            
               Regulation (EC) No 1342/2007 should be amended accordingly,
            
         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The quantitative limits for the year 2009 set out in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1342/2007 are replaced by those set out in the Annex I to this Regulation.
