Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 812/2012
of 12 September 2012
amending Council Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 as regards tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and processed agricultural products originating in Morocco
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 of 9 April 2001 providing for the management of Community tariff quotas and of reference quantities for products eligible for preferences by virtue of agreements with certain Mediterranean countries and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1981/94 and (EC) No 934/95(1), and in particular Article 5(1)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) An Agreement has been concluded in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and the Kingdom of Morocco concerning reciprocal liberalisation measures on agricultural products, processed agricultural products, fish and fishery products, the replacement of Protocols 1, 2 and 3 and their Annexes and amendments to the euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Kingdom of Morocco, of the other part (‘the Agreement’)(2). The Agreement was approved on behalf of the Union by Council Decision 2012/497/EU(3).
(2) The Agreement provides for new tariff quotas for agricultural and processed agricultural products originating in Morocco. It also provides for changes to existing tariff quotas for those products that are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 747/2001.
(3) Furthermore, the Agreement no longer provides for tariff concessions applicable in the framework of reference quantities that are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 747/2001.
(4) It is necessary to implement the new tariff quotas, the changes to the existing tariff quotas and the end of reference quantities, as provided for in the Agreement. Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) For the purpose of calculating the tariff quotas for the first year of application, provision should be made, in accordance with the Agreement, that the volumes of the tariff quotas for which the quota period began prior to the date of entry into force of the Agreement should be reduced by a proportion relating to that part of the period which had elapsed before that date.
(6) The monthly use of the additional tariff quota that applies from 1 November to 31 May for imports into the European Union of fresh or chilled tomatoes originating in Morocco should, in accordance with the Agreement, be limited to 30 % of its initial volume of 28 000 tonnes net weight.
(7) As the Agreement enters into force on 1 October 2012, this Regulation should apply from that date.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
