That quota is divided into three subquotas.\n(2)\nArticle 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002 fixed a quantity of 592 900 tonnes for tranche No 1 of subquota III for the period 1 January to 31 March 2006.\n(3)\nCommission Regulation (EC) No 4/2006 laid down the percentage of import licences that could be issued on the basis of the information in the Commission’s possession on 2 January 2006. However, one Member State subsequently informed the Commission that a large number of applications submitted by its operators were inadmissible. As a result, against all expectations, considerable quantities remain available for the period concerned. Those quantities should therefore be laid down and a derogation made from the first sentence of Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002 by authorising, exceptionally, the lodging of new licence applications for these quantities in accordance with the rules laid down by Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002.\n(4)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
