In Article 3, the Protocol stipulates that Union concessions for certain fish and fishery products originating in Bosnia-Herzegovina are to be granted according to Annex II to the Protocol. Therefore, the tariff quota volumes for trout, carp and anchovies should be increased by 440, 10 and 20 tonnes accordingly.
(3)
The Union tariff quotas should be applied in full for the year 2017, as stipulated in Annex II to the Protocol.
(4)
The tariff quotas set out in Annex II to the Protocol should be managed by the Commission on the basis of the chronological order of dates of acceptance of customs declarations for release for free circulation in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447f4.
(5)
Commission Regulation (EU) No 354/2011f5 should therefore be amended accordingly.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
