## Introductory text

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1385/2007
of 26 November 2007
laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 774/94 as regards opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas for poultrymeat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in poultrymeat, and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 774/94 of 29 March 1994 opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas for high-quality beef, and for pigmeat, poultrymeat, wheat and meslin, and brans, sharps and other residues, and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1431/94 of 22 June 1994 laying down detailed rules for the application in the poultrymeat sector of the arrangements provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 774/94 opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas for poultrymeat and certain other agricultural products has been substantially amended several times and requires further amendment. Regulation (EC) No 1431/94 should therefore be repealed and replaced by a new regulation.
(2)
The tariff quotas should be administered on the basis of import licences. For this purpose, the arrangements for submitting applications and the details that should appear on the licence applications and the licences themselves should be specified.
(3)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products and 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 should apply, save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation.
(4)
In order to ensure a regular flow of imports, the quota period running from 1 January to 31 December should be subdivided into several subperiods. In any event, under Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 licences are valid only up to and including the last day of the tariff quota period. The administration of the tariff quotas should be based on import licences.
(5)
In view of the risk of speculation inherent in the system in the poultrymeat sector, clear conditions should be laid down as regards access for operators to the tariff quota scheme.
(6)
For appropriate administration of the tariff quotas, the security linked to the import licences should be set at EUR 50 per 100 kilograms.
(7)
In the interests of the operators, the Commission should determine the quantities that have not been applied for, which will be added to the next quota subperiod in accordance with Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006.
(8)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

## 1 

1. The tariff quotas in Annex I are opened by Regulation (EC) No 774/94 for the import of poultrymeat products under the CN codes indicated therein.
The tariff quotas shall be open on an annual basis for the period from 1 January to 31 December.
2. The quantity of products covered by the quotas referred to in paragraph 1, the applicable reduction in customs duty, the serial numbers and the group numbers shall be as set out in Annex I.

For the groups concerned by this obligation, the country of origin shall be entered in box 8 of the application and of the licence itself, and the word ‘yes’ shall be marked with a cross.
