COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 957/2009
of 14 October 2009
establishing the allocation coefficient to be applied to applications for export licences for cheese to be exported to the United States of America in 2010 under certain GATT quotas
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 of 17 August 2006 laying down special detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards export licences and export refunds for milk and milk products (2), and in particular Article 25(1) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 671/2009 of 24 July 2009 opening the procedure for the allocation of export licences for cheese to be exported to the United States of America in 2010 under certain GATT quotas (3) opens the procedure for the allocation of export licences for cheese to be exported to the United States of America in 2010 under the GATT quotas referred to in Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006.
(2) Applications for export licences for certain quotas and product groups exceed the quantities available for the 2010 quota year. Allocation coefficients as provided for in Article 25(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 should therefore be established.
(3) In the case of product groups and quotas for which the applications lodged are for quantities less than those available, it is appropriate, in accordance with Article 25(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006, to provide for the allocation of the remaining quantities to the applicants in proportion to the quantities applied for. The allocation of such further quantities should be conditional upon the competent authority being notified of the quantities accepted by the operator concerned and upon the interested operators lodging a security.
(4) Given the time limit for carrying out the procedure for establishing those coefficients, as provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 671/2009, this Regulation should apply as soon as possible,
