Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1165/2014 of 31 October 2014 amending Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 as regards the management of the tariff quotas for dairy products originating in Ukraine

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007(1), and in particular point (a) of Article 187 thereof,

Whereas:

  1. Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2) provides for preferential arrangements as regards customs duties for imports of certain goods originating in Ukraine. In accordance with Article 3 of that Regulation the agricultural products listed in Annex III thereto are to be admitted for import into the Union within the limits of the tariff quotas as set out in that Annex. Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001(3) has been amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 415/2014(4) to include the tariff quotas for dairy products referred to in Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 which are open until 31 October 2014.

  2. Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 has been amended by Regulation (EU) No 1150/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council(5). The amendment primarily provides for the extension of the application of Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 until 31 December 2015 and in fixing the quantities of the quotas for 2015. It is therefore appropriate to provide for the management of the tariff quotas referred to in Article 5(l) of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 for 2015.

  3. Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.

  4. The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
