This new tariff quota is in addition to those opened by Commission Regulations (EC) No 1077/2004 and (EC) No 1743/2004.\n(4)\nThis new quota must be transitional and must not prejudge the outcome of the negotiations under way in the context of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) as a result of the accession of new members.\n(5)\nThe Management Committee for fresh Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
