Commission Regulation (EC) No 194/2004

of 4 February 2004

amending Regulation (EC) No 133/2004 determining the extent to which applications submitted in January 2004 for import licences for the tariff quotas for beef and veal provided for in Council Decision 2003/452/EC for the Republic of Slovenia can be accepted

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2673/2000 of 6 December 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of the tariff quota for imports of beef and veal provided for in Council Decision 2003/452/EC for the Republic of Slovenia(2), and in particular Article 4(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 133/2004(3) determines the extent to which applications submitted in January 2004 for import licences for the tariff quotas for beef and veal provided for in Decision 2003/452/EC for the Republic of Slovenia can be accepted. As a result of an administrative error, an application submitted under quota No 09.4122 was not taken into account when adopting that Regulation. The quantity of beef and veal for which import licences have been submitted under quota No 09.4122 is such that applications may be granted in full.

(2) Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 133/2004 should be amended as regards the import licences to be issued,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Done at Brussels, 4 February 2004.
