Commission Regulation (EC) No 538/2004
of 23 March 2004
reducing the import quota for olive oil for April 2004 under the Tunisian tariff quota
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 2000/822/EC of 22 December 2000 on the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Republic of Tunisia concerning reciprocal liberalisation measures and amendment of the Agricultural Protocols to the EC/Tunisia Association Agreement(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 312/2001 of 15 February 2001 laying down detailed rules of application for the importation of olive oil originating in Tunisia and derogating from certain provisions of Regulations (EC) No 1476/95 and (EC) No 1291/2000(3), and in particular Article 2(3) and (4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3(1) and (2) of Protocol No 1 to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Tunisia, of the other part(4) opens a tariff quota, at a zero rate of duty, for imports of untreated olive oil falling within CN codes 1509 10 10 and 1509 10 90 wholly obtained in Tunisia and transported directly from Tunisia to the Community, up to the limit laid down for each year.
(2) Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 312/2001 also lays down the maximum monthly quantities covered by the licences to be issued.
(3) Applications were submitted on 16 and 17 February 2004 to the competent French and Italian authorities in accordance with Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 312/2001 for import licences covering a total quantity exceeding the limit of 1000 tonnes laid down for February.
(4) Under the circumstances, the Commission set by Regulation (EC) No 293/2004(5) a percentage allocation of 14,20 % to allow licences to be issued in proportion to the quantity available.
(5) The Italian version of Regulation (EC) No 293/2004 incorrectly states a percentage allocation of 91,49 % instead of 14,20 %. The Italian authorities accordingly issued licences for 91,49 % of the quantity available. The quantity delivered as a result exceeded the availability for February 2004 by 135,24 tonnes.
(6) The quota for April 2004 must accordingly be reduced by that excess quantity, i.e. 135,24 tonnes, so bringing the quota for that month to 7864,76 tonnes instead of the 8000 tonnes laid down by Regulation,
The import quota for olive oil under the Tunisian tariff quota for April 2004 shall be 7864,76 tonnes, without prejudicing the possibility provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 312/2001 of using any oil left over from the previous month once this quota is exhausted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 March 2004.
It shall apply from 29 March 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001 of 28 June 2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricultural products for the French overseas departments, amending Directive 72/462/EEC and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 525/77 and (EEC) No 3763/91 (Poseidom)(1), and in particular Article 3(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 28/97 of 9 January 1997 laying down detailed rules for implementation of specific measures for the supply of certain vegetable oils for the processing industry in the French overseas departments and assessing supply requirements(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 127/2001(3), establishes the supply requirements for those products for 2001.
(2) For 2001 the supply requirements for vegetable oils (other than olive oil) are assessed at 8908 tonnes in the case of the Department of Réunion. The information supplied by the French authorities indicates that this quantity will be insufficient to cover the requirements of Réunion's processing industry. It should therefore be increased to 10522 tonnes. The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 28/97 should therefore be amended.
(3) This Regulation will enter into force after the expiry of the time limit for submitting licence applications in December 2001. To avoid a break in supplies to the French overseas departments, provision should be made to derogate from Article 4(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 28/97 and to allow, for this month alone, the submission of licence applications in the five working days following the entry into force of this Regulation and to set the time limit for the issue of such licences at 10 working days following the entry into force of this Regulation.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 28/97 is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
By way of derogation from Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 28/97, December 2001 applications for licences shall be submitted to the competent authority no later than the fifth working day following the entry into force of this Regulation.
By way of derogation from Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 28/97, in December 2001 licences shall be issued no later than 10 working days after the entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Since these concessions involve, inter alia, exemption from customs duty for imports within the framework of the quota in question from the date of entry into force of the additional protocol, imports carried out from 1 November 2003 under that quota must be exempted from customs duty.
