The tariff quotas for the agricultural products referred to in Annex III to that Regulation are administered by the Commission pursuant to the rules laid down in accordance with Article 184(2)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.\n(2)\nTo ensure that imports of cereals originating in Ukraine within these tariff quotas are orderly and not speculative, they should be made subject to the issue of import licences. Therefore Regulations (EC) No 1301/2006, (EC) No 1342/2003 and (EC) No 376/2008 should apply, without prejudice to any derogations provided for by this Regulation.\n(3)\nTo ensure the proper management of these quotas, deadlines for the submission of import licence applications should be laid down and the information to be included in applications and licences should be specified.\n(4)\nCommission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 replaced the CN codes of the cereals referred to in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 by new codes that differ from the codes referred to in Regulation (EU) No 374/2014. Annex I to this Regulation should therefore refer to the new CN codes.\n(5)\nAs the quotas referred to in Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 are open only until 31 October 2014, this Regulation should enter into force as soon as possible.\n(6)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
