Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/964 of 22 June 2015 determining the quantities to be added to the quantity fixed for the subperiod 1 October to 31 December 2015 under the tariff quotas opened by Regulation (EC) No 442/2009 in the pigmeat sector
**Summary:**
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/964 of 22 June 2015 addresses the management of tariff quotas for imports of pigmeat products, as initially established by Regulation (EC) No 442/2009. This regulation determines the quantities to be added to the quantity fixed for the subperiod 1 October to 31 December 2015 under the tariff quotas opened by Regulation EC No 442/2009 in the pigmeat sector.
The regulation responds to the fact that import license applications lodged from 1 to 7 June 2015 for the subperiod 1 July to 30 September 2015 were less than the available quota quantities. To ensure efficient management, the quantities for which applications were not submitted are being added to the subsequent quota subperiod.
Specifically, the following quantities are added to the subperiod 1 October to 31 December 2015:
* Order No 09.4038: 8,581,250 kg
* Order No 09.4170: 1,230,500 kg
* Order No 09.4204: 1,156,000 kg
The regulation entered into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
The Director-General for Agriculture and Rural Development, Jerzy Plewa, signed on behalf of the Commission.
