Export licences should be allocated taking into account the eligibility of those products for the USA quota in question as described in the Harmonised Tariff Schedule of the United States of America.\n(4)\nWith a view to exporting the maximum quantity under the quotas for which there is moderate interest, applications covering the whole quota quantity should be allowed.\n(5)\nIn order to allow operators in Bulgaria and Romania to adapt to the system applied in the Community, transitional measures should be introduced for the 2008 quota year to requests for export licences lodged in those Member States.\n(6)\nThe transitional arrangement shall apply to the historic export criterion and the subsidiaries criterion.\n(7)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
