COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 741/2013

of 30 July 2013

opening and providing for the administration of Union tariff quotas for agricultural products originating in Colombia

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Decision 2012/735/EU of 31 May 2012 on the signing, on behalf of the Union, and provisional application of the Trade Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and Colombia and Peru, of the other part(1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Decision 2012/735/EU, the Council authorised the signing, on behalf of the Union, of the Trade Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and Colombia and Peru, of the other part (‘the Agreement’). Pursuant to Decision 2012/735/EU, the Agreement is to be applied on a provisional basis, pending the completion of the procedures for its conclusion. The Agreement applies on a provisional basis from 1 August 2013.
(2) Subsection 1 of Section B of Appendix 1 to Annex I to the Agreement concerns the tariff elimination schedule of the EU party for goods originating in Colombia. For a number of specific products, it provides for the application of tariff quotas. It is therefore necessary to open tariff quotas for such products.
(3) The tariff quotas should be managed by the Commission on a first-come, first-served basis in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(2).
(4) Entitlement to benefit from the tariff concessions should be subject to the presentation of the relevant proof of origin to the customs authorities, as provided for in the Agreement.
(5) 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(3), as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 927/2012(4), contains new CN codes which are different from those referred to in the Agreement. The new codes should therefore be reflected in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) Since the Agreement takes effect on 1 August 2013, this Regulation should apply from the same date.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
