Regulation (EU) No 581/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council extended the application of Regulation (EC) No 55/2008 until the end of 2015. It is therefore appropriate that Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 takes into account the extension of the duration of the quota No 09.4210.\n(2)\nChapter II of Title 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 provides for rules concerning preferential non-quota imports under specific agreements and acts. It is appropriate, for the sake of proper administration of the imports, that those rules apply also to all other preferential non-quota imports which are covered by Article 2 of that Regulation. In addition, it is appropriate, for the sake of clarity and transparency, that those rules include the obligation to specify the preferential import duty in box 24 of licence applications and licences.\n(3)\nRegulation (EC) No 2535/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(4)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
