THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

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 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. Import licence applications lodged from 20 to 30 November 2011 for certain tariff quotas referred to in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 of 14 December 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation No 1255/1999 as regards the import arrangements for milk and milk products and opening tariff quotas⁽³⁾ relate to quantities greater than those available.
