Commission Regulation (EC) No 433/2009

of 26 May 2009

amending Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 as regards export licences and export refunds for milk and milk products

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

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], and in particular Articles 170 and 171 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Article 1(2)(b) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 of 23 April 2008 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products [2] provides that export licences have to be presented for certain products. For the purposes of clarity it is necessary to delete the equivalent provision in the first subparagraph of Article 3(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 of 17 August 2006 laying down special detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards export licences and export refunds for milk and milk products [3].

(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 57/2009 of 22 January 2009 fixing the export refunds on milk and milk products [4] has excluded from granting of a refund, as from 23 January 2009, the exports referred to in Article 36(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products [5]. As a consequence the second subparagraph of Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 has become obsolete and should be deleted.

(3) Article 5 of 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 licences [6] provides the documents to be submitted to show trade performance with third countries. With a view to harmonisation and coherence, it is appropriate to refer to that Article under the regimes where trade performance needs to be shown in Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006. Articles 24(3) and 30(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 should be amended accordingly.

(4) Article 27 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 provides that licences issued in accordance with those provisions are only valid for the exports to the USA. In order to ensure that and with a view of maximising the use of the quota, the security should be released only on presentation of a transport document as provided in Article 16(3) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999. Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 should be completed accordingly. In order to release the securities for licences for exports to the Dominican Republic it is appropriate, with a view to harmonisation and simplification and in order to alleviate the administrative burden of the exporter, to require the transport document as provided in Article 16(3) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999. Article 34(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(5) Chapter 4 of Section I of Part Two of Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff [7] has been amended. Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 should be amended accordingly.

(6) Article 16 and Appendix 2 of Annex III to the Economic Partnership Agreement between the CARIFORUM States, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part [8], the signature and provisional application of which has been approved by Council Decision 2008/805/EC [9], provide for the tariff quota of milk powder previously contained in the Memorandum of Understanding between the European Community and the Dominican Republic on import protection for milk powder in the Dominican Republic [10], approved by Council Decision 98/486/EC [11]. Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 should be updated accordingly.

(7) Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(8) It should be provided that some of the amended provisions should not apply to licences that have already been issued.

(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
