of 18 December 2003
determining the quantity of certain products in the milk and milk products sector available for the period 1 January to 30 April 2004 under quotas opened by the Community on the basis of an import licence alone
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1787/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 of 14 December 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards the import arrangements for milk and milk products and opening tariff quotas(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2012/2003(4), and in particular Article 16(2) thereof,
Whereas:
When import licences were allocated for the second half of 2003 for certain quotas referred to in Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, applications for licences covered quantities less than those available for the products concerned. As a result, the quantity available for each quota for the period 1 January to 30 April 2004 should be fixed, taking account of the unallocated quantities resulting from Commission Regulation (EC) No 1345/2003(5) determining the extent to which the applications for import licences submitted in July 2003 for certain dairy products under certain tariff quotas opened by Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 can be accepted,
