COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1379/2011
of 20 December 2011
amending Regulations (EC) No 382/2008, (EU) No 1178/2010 and (EU) No 90/2011 as regards the CN codes and the product codes of the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds in the beef and veal, egg and poultrymeat sectors
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
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), and in particular Articles 134, 161(3), 170 and 192(2), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulations (EC) No 382/2008 (2), (EU) No 1178/2010 (3) and (EU) No 90/2011 (4) lay down rules for the system of export licences in relation to export refunds in the beef and veal, egg and poultrymeat sectors respectively. Those Regulations refer to CN codes and product codes of the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds in order to indicate the products which are subject, or not subject, to the presentation of an export licence when an export refund is requested.
(2)
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 (5) was amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 (6).
(3)
Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 of 17 December 1987 establishing an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds (7) was amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1334/2011 (8).
(4)
Consequently, the CN codes and product codes used in Regulations (EC) No 382/2008, (EU) No 1178/2010 and (EU) No 90/2011 need to be adapted to those used in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 as amended by Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 and in Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 as amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1334/2011.
(5)
Regulation (EC) No 382/2008 also uses CN codes in the framework of import licences. For consistency reasons, it is appropriate to amend those codes as well.
(6)
Regulations (EC) No 382/2008, (EU) No 1178/2010 and (EU) No 90/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
