Article 2 Import licences issued and import rights allocated before Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/216 applies

Rights and obligations deriving from import licenses issued and import rights allocated by the licensing issuing authorities of the United Kingdom under the tariff rate quotas referred to in Annexes I and II to this Regulation shall expire in the Union as soon as Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/216 applies.

Rights and obligations deriving from import licences issued and import rights allocated by the licencing authorities of Member States other than the United Kingdom under the tariff rate quotas referred to in Annexes I and II to this Regulation shall remain valid in the Union.

However, where before Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/216 applies such licences were transferred to operators established in the United Kingdom, the rights and obligations deriving from those licences shall expire in the Union as soon as Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/216 applies.
