Those rules are to apply from the day from which Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/216 of the European Parliament and of the Council applies.\n(2)\nFor certain tariff rate quotas, the tariff quota period has begun before the day from which Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/216 applies and ends after that day. For these cases, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/386 provides for specific rules for the apportionment between the Union and the United Kingdom of the remaining quantities to be allocated under those tariff quotas from the day from which Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/216 applies.\n(3)\nFollowing discussions between the Union and the United Kingdom, a common understanding was reached on how to apportion such tariff rate quotas. This common understanding should ensure that the overall tariff rate quota quantities available for allocation do not exceed the quantities laid down in the WTO schedule of the Union following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union.\n(4)\nImplementing Regulation (EU) 2019/386 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(5)\nTo ensure legal certainty and in order for the thus apportioned quantities to be the basis for licence applications submitted as of 1 January 2021, this Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.\n(6)\nSince Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/386 applies from the day from which Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/216 applies, that is from 1 January 2021, this amending Regulation 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:",
