Commission Regulation (EC) No 1305/2002

of 18 July 2002

amending Regulation (EC) No 1115/2002 determining the extent to which applications lodged in June 2002 for import licences for certain pigmeat sector products under the regime provided for by Council Regulation (EC) No 774/94 opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas for pigmeat and certain other agricultural products can be accepted

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1432/94 of 22 June 1994 laying down detailed rules for the application in the pigmeat sector of the import arrangements provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 774/94 opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas for pigmeat and certain other agricultural products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1006/2001(2), and in particular Article 4(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The percentage rate at which applications for import licences for the period 1 July to 30 September 2002 can be accepted and the quantities available for the period 1 October to 31 December 2002 laid down in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1115/2002(3) are inexact because of incorrect information provided by a Member State. Article 1 of the Regulation and the Annex thereto must therefore be amended.

(2) The applications for import licences lodged for the third quarter of 2002 relate to less than the available quantities and so can be met entirely,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
