THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1),
Having regard to 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 (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002 (3) opened an annual tariff quota of 2 988 387 tonnes of common wheat of a quality other than high quality. That quota is divided into three subquotas.
(2) Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002 has fixed the quantity for subquota II at 38 000 tonnes (order number 09.4124) for the period from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2007.
(3) Based on the notification made under Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002, the applications lodged from 13.00 on 9 April 2007 to 13.00 (Brussels time) on 16 April 2007 in accordance with Article 5(1) of that Regulation, relate to quantities in excess of those available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined and an allocation coefficient laid down to be applied to the quantities applied for.
(4) Import licences should no longer be issued under the subquota II referred to in Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002 for the current quota,
