THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation)

OJ L 299, 16.11.2007, p. 1.

OJ L 238, 1.9.2006, p. 13.

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008

OJ L 290, 31.10.2008, p. 3.

opens an overall annual import tariff quota of 3 112 030 tonnes of common wheat of a quality other than high quality. That quota is divided into four subquotas.

(2)

Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 sets subquota I (order number 09.4123) at 572 000 tonnes for the period 1 January to 31 December 2012.

(3)

The notification made in accordance with Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 shows that the applications lodged from 23 March 2012 at 13.00 to 30 March 2012 at 13.00 (Brussels time) in accordance with Article 4(1), subparagraph 2, of that Regulation exceed the quantities available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined and the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities applied for should be fixed.

(4)

No further import licences should be issued under subquota I as referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 for the current quota period.

2.

The issue of licences for the quantities applied for from 30 March 2012 at 13.00 (Brussels time) falling within subquota I as referred to in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 is hereby suspended for the current quota period.
