Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/967 of 22 June 2015 determining the quantities to be added to the quantity fixed for the subperiod from 1 October to 31 December 2015 under the tariff quotas opened by Regulation (EC) No 1384/2007 for poultrymeat originating in Israel
**Policy Summary: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/967**
This regulation, issued by the European Commission on June 22, 2015, addresses tariff quotas for poultry meat originating in Israel, as established by Regulation (EC) No 1384/2007. Specifically, it determines the quantities to be added to the quota for the subperiod of October 1 to December 31, 2015.
The regulation responds to the fact that import license applications for the subperiod of July 1 to September 30, 2015, did not exhaust the available quantities. Therefore, the unallocated amounts are being transferred to the subsequent subperiod to ensure efficient utilization of the tariff quotas.
Article 1 specifies that the quantities to be added to the October-December 2015 subperiod are detailed in the Annex. The Annex lists the following quantities (in kg) to be added for each order number:
* Order No 09.4091: 420,000
* Order No 09.4092: 2,830,000
Article 2 stipulates that the regulation entered into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
The legal basis for this regulation is Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, specifically Article 188(2) and (3). The regulation is binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
The regulation was issued in Brussels, and signed on behalf of the President of the Commission by Jerzy Plewa, Director-General for Agriculture and Rural Development.
