Commission Regulation (EC) No 54/2009

of 21 January 2009

amending Council Regulation (EC) No 669/97 as regards the opening and management of Community tariff quotas for certain fish and fishery products originating in the Faroe Islands

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 669/97 of 14 April 1997 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain fish and fishery products originating in the Faroe Islands, defining detailed provisions for amending and adapting these measures and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1983/95(1), and in particular Article 5(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Decision No 2/2008 of the EC-Denmark/Faeroe Islands Joint Committee (2008/957/EC)(2) has amended Tables I and II of the Annex to Protocol 1 to the Agreement between the European Community, of the one part, and the Government of Denmark and the Home Government of the Faroe Islands, of the other part.

(2) In the amended Protocol 1 to the Agreement, provision is made for three new annual tariff quotas covering import into the Community of certain fish and fishery products originating in the Faroe Islands. The new tariff quotas are to apply from 1 September 2008. In order to implement these new tariff quotas, it is necessary to adjust the list of fish and fishery products subject to tariff quotas laid down in Regulation (EC) No 669/97.

(3) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(3) provides for a system of management for tariff quotas, designed to be used following the chronological order of dates of acceptance of the customs declarations. For reasons of simplification and to ensure efficient management carried out in close cooperation between the authorities of the Faroe Islands, the customs authorities of the Member States and the Commission, that management system should apply to the tariff quotas provided for in Regulation (EC) No 669/97.

(4) For the year 2008, the volumes of the tariff quotas provided for in this Regulation should be calculated as a pro rata of the basic volumes set out in Decision No 2/2008 (2008/957/EC), in proportion to the part of the year which has elapsed before the tariff quotas apply.

(5) Regulation (EC) No 669/97 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6) In accordance with Decision No 2/2008 (2008/957/EC), the new tariff quotas are to apply from 1 September 2008. This Regulation should therefore apply from the same date.

(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
