# 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, Article 6: Import licence applications and import licences

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

1. Applicants for import licences shall not lodge more than one import licence application for the same quota order number in respect of an import tariff quota period or subperiod. Where an applicant lodges more than one application, none of his applications shall be admissible.
2. In accordance with Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 a security shall be lodged. The security shall be released in respect of quantities covered by applications for which no licence could be issued further to the application of the allocation coefficient referred to in Article 7(2) of this Regulation.
3. Where this is deemed necessary for the management of a given import tariff quota, the Commission Regulations governing that quota may provide for additional conditions. They may, in particular, provide for the application of a system according to which the quotas are managed by attributing import rights as a first step and issuing import licences as a second.
Paragraphs 1, 2 and 5 of this Article, Article 5, Article 7(1) second subparagraph, Article 7(2) and (4) and Article 11(1)(a) shall apply mutatis mutandis where a system of attribution of import rights is applied.
4. Box 20 of import licence applications and import licences shall contain the import tariff quota order number referred to in paragraph 1.
5. An import licence application may not relate, by import tariff quota period or subperiod, to a quantity exceeding the quantity or, as the case may be, the limit fixed by the Commission Regulations governing the import tariff quota for that import tariff quota period or subperiod.
6. Import licence applications shall be lodged during a period fixed by the Commission Regulations governing the import tariff quota in question. That period may precede the import tariff quota period or subperiod.
7. Quantities shall be indicated by weight, volume in whole units or pieces, not fractions thereof, on the import licence applications.
