Its signature on behalf of the Union and its Member States and its provisional application has been authorised by Council Decision (EU) 2017/75. The Protocol applies provisionally with effect from 1 February 2017.\n(3)\nArticle 5 of the Protocol and Annex IV thereto provide for changes to the existing tariff quotas for wines originating in Bosnia and Herzegovina with effect from 1 February 2017. The relevant quotas for wines have been increased from 12 800 hl to 25 500 hl, applying to positions ex 2204 10 and ex 2204 21, and from 3 200 hl to 15 100 hl, applying to positions ex 2204 22 and ex 2204 29.\n(4)\nThe SAA specifies that the preferential zero-duty within the tariff quotas is granted subject to the condition that no export subsidies are paid for exports of these quantities by Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition, the Protocol specifies that for the year 2017 the full amount of the quotas applies irrespective of the date of entry into force or provisional application of the Protocol.\n(5)\nTo implement the Union tariff quotas for wine laid down in the Protocol, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 343/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(6)\nSince the Protocol applies from 1 February 2017, the proposed amendments should apply from the same date.\n(7)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
