Introductory text

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

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)^f1, and in particular Article 144(1) and Article 148 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:

Article 2(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 437/2009 of 26 May 2009 opening and providing for the administration of a Community import tariff quota for young male bovine animals for fattening^f2, Article 3(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 438/2009 of 26 May 2009 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for bulls, cows and heifers other than for slaughter of certain Alpine and mountain breeds^f3 and Article 4(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1064/2009 of 4 November 2009 opening and providing for the administration of a Community import tariff quota for malting barley from third countries^f4 provide for customs supervision under the end-use procedure referred to in Article 166 of Regulation (EC) No 450/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2008 laying down the Community Customs Code (Modernised Customs Code)^f5.

As indicated in the correlation table in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 450/2008, the purpose of the said Article 166 is to replace Article 82 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code^f6, which also provided for customs supervision in connection with a particular end-use of the goods imported. However, notwithstanding the entry into force of the implementing provisions referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 188(2) of Regulation (EC) No 450/2008, the second subparagraph thereof lays down that Article 166 of the said Regulation is to apply from 24 June 2013 at the latest. Consequently, Article 82 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 will remain applicable until the date from which Article 166 of Regulation (EC) No 450/2008 applies.

The reference in Regulations (EC) No 437/2009, (EC) No 438/2009 and (EC) No 1064/2009 to Article 166 of Regulation (EC) No 450/2008 should therefore be replaced by a reference to Article 82 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92.

Regulations (EC) No 437/2009, (EC) No 438/2009 and (EC) No 1064/2009 should therefore be corrected accordingly.

To ensure efficient management of the tariff quotas concerned and given that the content of the provisions concerned remains unchanged, the correction should apply from the same dates as those from which the Regulations concerned apply.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
