COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/2080 of 18 November 2015 amending Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 as regards the management of import tariff quotas for dairy products originating in Ukraine and the removal of an import tariff quota for dairy products originating in Moldova 

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007, and in particular Article 187 thereof,
Whereas:

(1) By Council Decision 2014/668/EU, the Council authorised the signing, on behalf of the European Union, and provisional application, of the Association Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and the Ukraine, of the other part. Title IV of that Agreement and Annex I-A to Chapter I thereto, provide for the elimination of customs duties on imports of goods originating in Ukraine and for tariff rate quotas three of which relate to dairy products. Pending the entry into force of the Agreement, in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council, the import tariff rate quotas for dairy products for Ukraine have been included by Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) No 415/2014 and (EU) No 1165/2014 in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 up to 31 December 2015. The Association Agreement will be provisionally applied as of 1 January 2016.

(2) It is therefore appropriate to complete Part L of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 with the import tariff rate quotas for dairy products for Ukraine for the quota periods from 1 January 2016 onwards.

(3) By Council Decision 2014/492/EU, the Council authorised the signing, on behalf of the European Union, and provisional application of the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Moldova, of the other part. Article 147 of that Agreement provides for the elimination of customs duties on imports into the European Union. Council Regulation (EC) No 55/2008 introducing autonomous trade preferences for the Republic of Moldova and providing for an import quota for dairy products referred to in Article 5(j) of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 applies until 31 December 2015. It is therefore appropriate to delete the provisions relating to the import quota for dairy products for Moldova from Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001.

(4) Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.

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