Commission Regulation (EC) No 1653/2001

of 14 August 2001

correcting Regulation (EC) No 2305/95 establishing detailed rules for the application in the pigmeat sector of the arrangements provided for in the free trade agreements between the Community, of the one part, and Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, of the other part

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2766/2000 of 14 December 2000 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Lithuania(1), and in particular Article 1(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2305/95(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1006/2001(3), lays down the detailed rules for the application in the pigmeat sector of the arrangements provided for in the free trade agreements between the Community, of the one part, and Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, of the other part. Product group L1 was inserted in Annex I.A when the Regulation was amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2867/2000(4). That product group should therefore also be inserted in the first subparagraph of Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2305/95. This Regulation must be corrected in consequence.

(2) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Management Committee for Pigmeat,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
