Consequently, by way of derogation from Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, a new period from 1 May to 31 December 2018 should be established replacing the period from 1 July to 31 December 2018 and for the quantities to be set for that new period in Point I.I of Annex I to that Regulation as amended by this Regulation.\n(3)\nThe application period precedes the end of the approval procedure for applicants to be authorised to import under the quotas as from 1 July 2018. In order for applicants, not yet listed on an approval list, to participate in the quota allocation for the period 1 May to 31 December 2018, derogation from Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 should be provided for.\n(4)\nThe period for lodging import licence applications for the first half year of 2018, as provided for in Article 14(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, has expired. By way of derogation from Article 14(1)(b) of that Regulation provision should therefore be made for a new license application period from 1 to 10 April 2018.\n(5)\nRegulation (EC) No 2535/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(6)\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:",
