Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

1 . At the latest on the fifth working day following the end of the period for lodging applications, Member States shall notify the Commission of the applications lodged for each of the products concerned.
2. Notifications shall include the quantities applied for under each quota number, broken down by CN code.
At the latest on the fifth working day following the end of the period for lodging applications, the Member States shall also communicate to the Commission the names and the addresses of the applicants, broken down by quota number. This notification shall be made by electronic means using the form made available to the Member States by the Commission.
3. The Commission shall decide within five working days after the notification period referred to in paragraph 1 to what extent applications may be accepted. Where the applied quantities do not exceed the available quota quantities, no decision is taken by the Commission and licences are issued for the quantities applied for.
Where applications for licences for a subquota exceed the available quantity for the quota period in question, the Commission shall apply a uniform allocation coefficient to the quantities for which application is made. The part of the security corresponding to the quantities not allocated shall be released.
Where, for one of the subquotas, the result of applying the allocation coefficient would be to allocate licences for less than 20 tonnes per application, the corresponding quantities available shall be awarded by the Member State concerned by drawing lots for licences of 20 tonnes each amongst the applicants who would have been allocated less than 20 tonnes as a result of applying the allocation coefficient.
Where the result of establishing lots of 20 tonnes leads to a residual quantity of less than 20 tonnes, that quantity shall be considered a single lot.
The security for applications which are not successful in the allocation by drawing lots shall be released immediately.
4. The issue of licences shall be made no more than five working days after the decision referred to in paragraph 3.
5. Import licences issued under this Regulation shall be valid until the last day of the half yearly period referred to in Annex III.A.
