Commission Regulation (EU) No 230/2011
of 9 March 2011
amending Council Regulation (EC) No 992/95 as regards tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and fishery products originating in Norway
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 992/95 of 10 April 1995 opening and providing for the administration of tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and fishery products originating in Norwayf1, and in particular Article 5(1)(a) and (b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
In 2009, negotiations were concluded for an Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway concerning special provisions applicable for the period 2009-14 to imports into the Union of certain fish and fishery products, hereinafter ‘the Additional Protocol’.
(2)
The signing, on behalf of the European Union, and the provisional application of the Additional Protocol has been authorised by Council Decision 2010/674/EU of 26 July 2010 on the signing and provisional application of an Agreement between the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway on an EEA Financial Mechanism for the period 2009-2014, an Agreement between the European Union and Norway on a Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2009-2014, an Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and Iceland concerning special provisions applicable to imports into the European Union of certain fish and fishery products for the period 2009-2014 and an Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and Norway concerning special provisions applicable to imports into the European Union of certain fish and fishery products for the period 2009-2014f2.
(3)
The Additional Protocol provides for new annual duty free tariff quotas at import into the Union of certain fish and fishery products originating in Norway.
(4)
In accordance with the Additional Protocol, the duty free tariff quotas levels that should have been opened for Norway as from 1 May 2009 until 1 March 2011 shall be divided in equal parts and allocated on a yearly basis for the remaining part of the period of application of this Protocol.
(5)
In order to implement the new tariff quotas provided for in the Additional Protocol, it is necessary to amend Regulation (EC) No 992/95.
(6)
It is necessary to replace the current reference in Regulation (EC) No 992/95 to free-at-frontier prices by a reference to the declared customs value in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture productsf3, and to provide that in order to qualify for the preferences laid down in the Additional Protocol, that value must at least be equal to any reference price fixed or to be fixed in accordance with the same Regulation.
(7)
Protocol 3 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway defining the concept of originating products and setting out the arrangements for administrative cooperation was amended by Decision No 1/2005 of the EC-Norway Joint Committee of 20 December 2005f4. It is therefore necessary to provide explicitly that Protocol 3 as amended in 2005 is to apply.
(8)
For reasons of clarity and to take account of the amendments to the Combined Nomenclature codes, laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tarifff5, and of the Taric-subdivisions, it is appropriate to replace Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 992/95.
(9)
For reasons of clarity and to take account of the fact that several tariff quotas cover the same products for the same period, it is appropriate to merge them.
(10)
Regulation (EC) No 992/95 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11)
In accordance with Decision 2010/674/EU the new tariff quotas must apply from 1 March 2011. This Regulation should therefore apply from the same date.
(12)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

‘ANNEX
Notwithstanding the rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, the wording for the description of the products is to be considered as having no more than an indicative value, the preferential scheme being determined, within the context of this Annex, by the coverage of the CN codes as they exist at the time of adoption of this Regulation. Where ex CN codes are indicated, the preferential scheme is to be determined by application of the CN code and corresponding description taken together.
As the MFN duty is free from 15 February to 15 June, the benefit of the tariff quota shall not be granted to goods declared for free circulation during this period.
As for goods of CN code 0304 99 23, the MFN duty is free from 15 February to 15 June, the benefit of the tariff quota shall not be granted to goods declared for free circulation during this period.
The specific additional duty shall be applied.
For the goods of CN code 0204 23 00, the amount of a drawing request is determined by multiplying the net weight of the products by a coefficient of 1,67 (meat of lamb) or 1,81 (meat of sheep other than lamb).
For the goods of CN code 0204 50 39 and 0204 50 79, the amount of a drawing request is determined by multiplying the net weight of the products by a coefficient of 1,67 (meat of kid) or 1,81 (meat of goat other than kid).
For the goods of CN code 0204 43 10, the amount of a drawing request is determined by multiplying the net weight of the products by a coefficient of 1,67.
For the goods of CN code 0204 43 90, the amount of a drawing request is determined by multiplying the net weight of the products by a coefficient of 1,81.
Entry under this subheading is subject to the conditions laid down in the relevant Community provisions (see Articles 291 to 300 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (OJ L 253, 11.10.1993, p. 1)).’
