This overall tariff quota includes a subquota of 38 853 tonnes for the imports from Canada.\n(2)\nPursuant to Council Decision (EU) 2017/38, the Council agreed on the provisional application of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between Canada of the one part, and the European Union and its Member States, of the other part (‘the Agreement’).\n(3)\nArticle 2.4 of the Agreement provides for the reduction or elimination of customs duties on goods originating in either Party in accordance with the tariff elimination schedules set out in Annex 2-A to the Agreement. Point 9 of that Annex provides for a duty-free tariff quota of 100 000 tonnes of common wheat of a quality other than high quality, falling under CN code 1001 99 00 and originating in Canada, for a period of 7 years. Point 6 of that Annex provides for transitional rules for the first year.\n(4)\nThe Protocol on rules of origin and origin procedures, attached to the Agreement, sets out the rules to be applied as regards the proof of origin. It is therefore appropriate to lay down provisions on the presentation of a proof of origin in accordance with that Protocol.\n(5)\nRegulation (EC) No 1067/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly. The proposed amendments should apply as from 21 September 2017, the date of the provisional application of the Agreement, and therefore 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:",
