of 25 November 2005

establishing the allocation of export licences for cheese to be exported to the United States of America in 2006 under certain GATT quotas

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products^f1,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 of 26 January 1999 laying down special detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 as regards export licences and export refunds in the case of milk and milk products^f2, and in particular Article 20(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1519/2005^f3 opens the procedure for the allocation of export licences for cheese to be exported to the United States of America in 2006 under certain GATT quotas.

(2)

Applications for provisional licences for some quotas and product groups exceed the quantities available for the 2006 quota year. Allocation coefficients as provided for in Article 20(3) of Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 should therefore be fixed.

(3)

Given the time limit for the implementation of this procedure, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1519/2005, this Regulation should apply as soon as possible,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
