THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1804/98 of 14 August 1998 establishing an autonomous duty applicable for residues from the manufacture of starch from maize falling within CN codes 2303 10 19 and 2309 90 20 and introducing a tariff quota on imports of residues from the manufacture of starch from maize (corn gluten feed) falling within CN codes 2303 10 19 and 2309 90 20 originating in the United States of America(1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

That decision was taken on 19 January 2001. Therefore, the quota was opened on 24 January 2001.

Therefore, the amount of the quota should be modified to 128/365ths of the quantity of the 2730000 tonnes foreseen in Council Regulation (EC) No 1804/98 for a full quota year, which is 957370 tonnes.
