Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation), and in particular Article 144(1) in conjunction with Article 4 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,
Having regard to Council Decision 2009/718/EC on the signing and conclusion of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and Brazil, and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The tariff quotas for group No 1 and group No 4 provided for in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1385/2007, bearing order numbers 09.4410 and 09.4420 respectively and coming under CN codes 0207 14 10 (frozen chicken cuts) and 0207 27 10 (frozen turkey cuts) are specifically allocated to Brazil.

The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and Brazil reached during negotiations under Article XXIV:6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994, approved by Decision 2009/718/EC, provides for an annual import tariff quota for poultrymeat of 2 500 tonnes for certain frozen chicken cuts (CN code 0207 14 10) and an annual import tariff quota for turkey meat of 2 500 tonnes for certain frozen turkey cuts (CN code 0207 27 10), at a rate of 0 %. The Agreement will enter into force on 1 October 2009.
(3)
These quantities should be added to the quotas for groups Nos 1 and 4.
(4)
Regulation (EC) No 1385/2007 should be amended accordingly.

Given that the usual deadline for submitting applications for the fourth tariff subperiod of 2009 will already have passed when the agreement comes into force, an additional period for submitting applications for quantities added to the current quotas should be provided for.

This Regulation must apply from the date of entry into force of the Agreement with Brazil.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
