Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/386 of 11 March 2019 laying down rules with regard to the apportionment of tariff rate quotas for certain agricultural products included in the WTO schedule of the Union following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union and with regard to import licences issued and import rights allocated under those tariff rate quotas

1 The tariff rate quotas for certain agricultural products included in the Union's schedule of concessions and commitments annexed to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 shall be apportioned between the Union and the United Kingdom as follows: (a) the apportioned quantities of the tariff rate quotas managed by the simultaneous examination method shall be as set out in Annex I; (b) the apportioned quantities of the tariff rate quotas managed by the ‘first come, first served’ method shall be as set out in Annex II.

2 The tariff rate quota quantities set out in the Regulations opening the tariff rate quotas referred to in Annexes I and II to this Regulation shall be replaced by the quantities set out in the third column of those Annexes.

3 By way of derogation from paragraph 1, where for a tariff rate quota the quota period begins before the day from which Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/216 applies and ends after that day, the apportionment of the tariff rate quota concerned shall be made by applying the EU-27 percentage to the quantities of that tariff rate quota available after the last allocation. Taking into account the quantities allocated in the Member States other than the United Kingdom for each such tariff quota in the same quota period before the day from which Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/216 applies, the apportioned tariff rate quota quantities shall not exceed the quantities set out in the third column of Annex I to this Regulation for each tariff rate quota managed by the simultaneous examination method. Within two working days from the day from which Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/216 applies, the Commission shall publish, by means of an appropriate web publication, the quantities available for each tariff rate quota referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph on the day from which Article 1(2) of that Regulation applies.

1 Rights and obligations deriving from import licenses issued and import rights allocated by the licensing issuing authorities of the United Kingdom under the tariff rate quotas referred to in Annexes I and II to this Regulation shall expire in the Union as soon as Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/216 applies.

2 Rights and obligations deriving from import licences issued and import rights allocated by the licencing authorities of Member States other than the United Kingdom under the tariff rate quotas referred to in Annexes I and II to this Regulation shall remain valid in the Union. However, where before Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/216 applies such licences were transferred to operators established in the United Kingdom, the rights and obligations deriving from those licences shall expire in the Union as soon as Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/216 applies.
