THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007, and in particular Article 188(1) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 720/2014 has laid down an allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities of import rights applied for for the period 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015 under the tariff quota opened by Commission Regulation (EC) No 431/2008 for frozen meat of bovine animals.
(2)
Following the publication of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 720/2014, the United Kingdom informed the Commission of an administrative error which led to the notification of a quantity higher than the quantity actually applied for. Taking into account the actual quantity applied for results in the increase of the allocation coefficient and of the import rights to be allocated to all operators concerned.
(3)
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 720/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4)
Rules should be established regarding the allocation of the resulting additional import rights to the operators.
(5)
Given the need to allocate the additional import rights as soon as possible, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
