The quantity shall be expressed in whole units, rounded to the nearest kilogram in accordance with the rules set out in Article 8(2), point (a), of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1239.

‘1 For the purposes of this Regulation, for the tariff quotas under order numbers 09.0142 and 09.0143, “frozen thin skirt” shall mean thin skirt which is frozen, with an internal temperature of – 12 °C or lower when it enters the customs territory of the Union.’;

1 Unless otherwise provided in Article 4 to this Regulation or in Annexes II to XII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761, where the tariff quota period of a given tariff quota has already started on the day of entry into force of this Regulation, the difference between the new quantity and quantities already allocated shall be made available to applications lodged after the entry into force of this Regulation.

2 For the purposes of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1988, the quantity available for the remainder of the tariff quota period that is ongoing on the day of entry into force of this Regulation shall be the difference between the new quantity and the quantities already allocated before the entry into force of this Regulation. If for tariff quotas with order numbers 09.2105, 09.2106, and 09.2012 the quantity previously available is exhausted on the day of entry into force of this Regulation, the difference between the new quantity and the previous one shall be allocated to operators following the chronological order of the acceptance date of the customs declaration for release for free circulation. Operators who imported their goods out of quota before the entry into force of this Regulation shall be reimbursed on their request and to the extent that the remaining balance of the tariff quota so permits as long as the difference in duty has already been paid. For the tariff quota with order number 09.0126, for which there was no quantity available before the entry into force of this Regulation, operators shall be reimbursed on their request and to the extent that the remaining balance of the tariff quota so permits as long as the difference in duty has already been paid.
