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)1,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences2, and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,

Whereas:

Commission Regulation (EC) No 616/20073 opened tariff quotas for imports of poultrymeat products originating in Brazil, Thailand and other third countries.
